Memorial and tribute films
Honoring lives. preserving memories. telling stories that last
Because every goodbye
deserves to be remembered
When words aren’t enough, film helps us hold on.
At Jacob Alexander Films, we create cinematic memorial and tribute films to honor the life, voice, and presence of those we love. Whether capturing a eulogy, crafting a retirement tribute, or preserving the memory of someone no longer with us, these films are powerful acts of remembrance—for today, and for generations to come.
What is a memorial or tribute film?
A memorial film or tribute video is a professionally crafted video that commemorates a life, legacy, or milestone moment. Our films are often commissioned for:
Funerals or celebration-of-life services
End-of-life legacy films
Tribute videos for retirement or military service
80th or 90th birthday milestones
Memory films for loved ones who have passed
Veteran story videos
Some are created posthumously using archived footage and voice recordings. Others are filmed in-person as a way to document a life while it’s still being lived.
Hear the stories. Relive the moments.
The process:
Quiet.
Caring.
Professional.

We learn about the person and the story you want to preserve. We’ll work with you or your family to plan the interview and structure.
-
We spend a few hours capturing an authentic, guided conversation—focused on life experiences, values, memories, and messages for future generations.
-
We offer the chance to walk through the home or meaningful spaces, capturing visual context for your story.
-
We combine storytelling, voice, light, and music to create a polished, emotional film—delivered digitally.
“This is more than a memorial video—it's a story that endures.”
Why choose a tribute or memorial film?
Because some stories shouldn’t be forgotten.
Because some voices should still be heard.
Because a slideshow fades, but a film brings someone back to life—if only for a moment.
