Funeral Videography Portfolio – Real Films from Across the UK
Over the past ten years I’ve filmed more than 2,500 funerals across the UK. Every service is different, and every family wants something unique from their film. Below is a selection of real funerals that show the range of work I do — from traditional church services and natural burials to military, multi-faith, themed and young people’s farewells.
““My dear friend George Richmond, the Director of Photography for the Marvel movie Deadpool, took on the responsibility of selecting a videographer for my husband's funeral. He chose you out of everyone he looked at, and I am immensely grateful for that decision.
Your work is truly remarkable - from the beautiful opening shots to the impeccable sound quality and the finer details throughout. The way you captured the vibrant blue sky was touching, especially since my husband had such an affection for blue skies. My heartfelt thanks for everything you've done.”
— Lady M ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.”
Church of England & Roman Catholic Funerals
Our work within Church of England and Roman Catholic settings reflects the reverence and tradition that define these services. From quiet parish churches to larger cathedral-style ceremonies, each film is created with care, respect and an awareness of the spiritual significance of the day.
Example: A countryside funeral in Suffolk filmed with multiple cameras and drone footage, capturing both the service inside the church and the graveside farewell that followed.
Natural Burial Grounds & Gravesides
Natural burial grounds offer a peaceful, outdoor setting that lends itself beautifully to cinematic funeral filming. These films often focus more on atmosphere, landscape and quiet details than a traditional full-length recording.
Example: A cinematic funeral film created at Henley Natural Burial Ground in Oxfordshire, capturing the warm summer light, the gathering of family and friends, and the calm of the woodland surroundings.
Alternative Venues
Many families now choose meaningful non-traditional venues for funerals and celebrations of life. These settings often allow for a more personal and flexible atmosphere.
Examples include:
A memorial service at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park
A celebration of life at Soane’s Garden Room, Pitzhanger Manor, featuring live piano, speeches and a bespoke tribute film
A Funeral at St Michaels at the North Gate, Oxfordshire
Crematorium Funerals
Crematorium services can be intimate or highly formal. I film these with sensitivity, ensuring clear coverage of the ceremony, tributes and any formal elements such as military honours.
Example: An American military funeral in Oxfordshire that included the cortege arrival, bugle, flag folding and an aircraft flyover.
Theme-Based Funerals
Some families choose a theme that reflects the personality and passions of the person being remembered. These services are often highly individual and full of character.
Example: A pirate-themed farewell that included a horse-drawn carriage, heartfelt tributes, and a community lining the streets in support.
Multi-Faith & Cultural Funerals
I regularly film funerals from many different faiths and cultural traditions, including Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist, Chinese, Vietnamese, African and Caribbean services. Each is approached with respect for the specific customs, rituals and tone of the day.
Caribbean Funerals These services are often vibrant and full of music, colour and community. I film them with an understanding of the energy and emotion that characterises many Caribbean farewells.
Baby & Young People’s Funerals
Filming the funeral of a baby or young person requires particular care, sensitivity and emotional awareness. These services are often smaller, deeply personal, and filled with both heartbreak and love. I approach every one with the utmost discretion, working quietly and respectfully so the family can focus on saying goodbye.
Whether the service is held in a church, crematorium, natural burial ground or alternative venue, the aim is always the same: to create a gentle, lasting record of a life that ended far too soon.
