Virtual Memorial Service (VMS)

Our VMS is available at no extra cost when you choose our direct service, priced at £500. This package is designed to support non-attended ceremonies.

How it works:

  • Arranging the service: if you wish to include the VMS package, a funeral director will meet with your family to complete the necessary form and send it directly to the Obitus team.

  • Personal touches: the package includes:

    • A single photo
    • A poem (choose from 10 options)
    • Entrance music
    • A visual tribute
  • Service details: the direct service will be conducted in the morning. The recorded footage will be professionally edited into a video and sent to the funeral director after two working days, to forward to the family. Family can order a recording of the Virtual Memorial Service on a range of Keepsakes options, to give them a one-of-a-kind, personal memento of their loved one to keep forever.
