NLYP,

I really like the beginning and ending of the show. How does she do that?

How do you post these online? I'd love for you to see some of my work. It would be fun to put the best of hers and the best of mine together and be able to put out a dynamite video

Are you charging the families extra for these? If you are, can I ask how much? You can PM me that if you'd like. I just want to know if the going rate is the same all over the country. Thanks!!

Margie

***BUMP*** for NLYP

OK, I took time to watch it! Very nice!

The intro was great!!

The pictures seemed to not be in sequence as far as his age.

Later in the video, you starting having the still pictures move closer or sideways which was very nice.

Was the stream video put in to fill space so it match the song length?

It is a very good idea that can bring additional revenue into your business. You will get even better as you do more and more of these!

They sure looked POOR to me - I wonder if they actually bought it - I mean they looked dirt poor! Pitiful - It was hard to watch it all!

NLYP, I was hoping you would have been on today and seen this. I'm really interested in knowing how to do those beginnings and endings and also in being able to post one of my shows on here.

But right now, I have to go and get busy on ANOTHER DVD. This guy has been keeping me busy, busy, busy lately!!!!!!!! (that's good!)

I've done lots of videos for people whose loved ones were cremated. It's a great thing for them because with the pictures, there is still an image of their family member for them to be able to see. The feedback every time is heart-warming and incredible.

Trouvere, different funeral homes handle things in different ways. The FH that I work for tries very hard to keep costs down for those who can't afford a large bill. He offers the videos to everyone. I charge $100 for 40 slides/2 songs. But no pressure is ever put on anyone to purchase. IF they want them, they are available. Many people simply cannot afford them.

I interviewed for another FH in this area. At that one, he figures the cost of the video into every funeral. (meaning that he tacks on the extra $100's to the cost of the funeral). They can choose whether to get a video or not. But either way, he charges the same. So if they choose not to, he's made those extra $$'s for nothing. I am not working for this person. There was too much we disagreed on. And frankly, the man I work for is the very best funeral director I have ever seen - seriously!!

We do not charge the family for the main one shown during visitation. There is no slide limit...no song limit...
We charge 25.00 for each additional copy...

Its first class.

AB...you might want to stop about the poor thing...

The family lost it ALL in Hurricane Rita.....NOTE THE RITA PICTURE.

We felt so bad..they lost all the family pictures except a very few in the storm.

They were not poor at all.....It was a 10,000.00 Funeral...cash paying customer.
NEVER judge a person by the cover.
