At The Park, we work closely with our audio visual partners to help families say goodbye in ways that make a funeral service feel truly personal.

Throughout this week, we are sharing the different ways a funeral service can be personalised, from music and photo tributes to live streaming and lasting keepsakes. Yesterday saw how music can create a personal service.

Today we are seeing how a visual tribute can help celebrate a life lived and help remember special memories.

We offer
Single photo - one photo to be displayed on screens during the service.
Basic slideshow - play up to 25 photos at a chosen moment or on a rolling loop.
Music tribute - up to 25 photos set perfectly to your chosen song.
Themed tributes - choose a design theme that reflects your loved one’s passions, with up to 25 photos and your chosen song.

Please speak to your local funeral director about the visual tributes we offer at The Park.

Throughout this week, we’ll be sharing the different ways a funeral service can be personalised, from music and photo tributes to live streaming and lasting keepsakes.

Today we are focusing on music. Whether it’s a song that brings comfort, a piece that reflects a life well lived, or something that simply feels right, music can say what words sometimes cannot.

If you’d like to learn more about how music can be meaningfully included in a service, please speak to your local funeral director about our services at The Park.

It’s truly heart warming to see the beautiful tributes families leave outside our Book of Remembrance Pavilion. Each flower carries a story, a memory and a reminder of the love that continues long after someone has gone. These moments of quiet reflection show just how deeply our community cares for those we’ve lost and it’s a privilege to provide a space where families can honour their loved ones in such a meaningful way.
