Three things a family cares about, in order: that the photos look their best, that the tribute is calm and dignified, and that they have something to keep. Below is the same fictional life — Eleanor Vivian Hayes (1938–2026) — shown three ways: the before/after restoration, the restored photo montage for the service, and the living-motion version. The portraits are generated, but the restoration and the craft are exactly what a real family receives.
Real families don't hand you studio scans. They hand you a creased polaroid, a photo of a photo, a 600-pixel phone snap of a framed portrait on the wall. We restore every one — upscaled, sharpened, color-corrected, faces brought back — before a single frame of the tribute is built. Left: what families actually send. Right: after restoration.
The same restored photographs, delivered two ways — a restored photo montage for the service room, and a living-motion version with subtle, lifelike movement. The family chooses which to play; most keep both.
The subject is fictional and the portraits are generated, because we can't show a real family's photos without their consent. Everything else — the restoration, the pacing, the motion, the music — is exactly what a real family receives.
A production order for a real family you're serving is built from 30–50 of the family's own photographs, every one restored first, then delivered in both formats (16:9 for service-room TVs and projectors) plus a 60–90 second 9:16 vertical sharing companion — included free — so the family has something to pass around on phones afterward.
Once you've decided whether the craft clears your bar, we'll run your first tribute on us — both formats, for one of the families you're currently serving. Every funeral home gets the first one free; the founding-home rate after that is $20 per order.
