Life story films · UK

Keep their voice in the room.

Eulogy Legacy creates beautifully filmed life story documentaries that preserve someone's voice, stories, memories, advice, humour and personality — before those things are lost.

A short conversation

A few minutes from us.

Who this is for, what the process feels like, and what families come away with — in our own words.

Book a gentle discovery call

A 30-minute call, free and unhurried.

A few of the lives we've captured
A family of six gathered in the garden — three generations together on a summer afternoon
A grandfather on the beach with his two young grandchildren and the family dog
A celebration of ninety years — candles on a floral birthday cake
A mother and daughter at the theatre
A grandfather meeting his newborn grandchild for the first time
Why we exist

A name on a family tree is not the same as knowing who someone was.

Most families have hundreds of photos, but very few have the stories behind them. The jokes. The lessons. The habits. The advice. The way someone paused before a sentence, laughed at their own memory, or said the words only they would say. We help families preserve those things while they can still be told.

There were no videos. No recordings. Her voice, her stories, her spirit — gone forever. Why Eulogy Legacy exists
What we do

A calm conversation, turned into something worth keeping.

A calm conversation

No scripts, no pressure, no performance. The session is gently guided, but never rushed — we let real stories come out naturally.

A proper finished film

Careful editing, sound polish, music, colour grading and family archive material — shaped into something the family will want to keep.

A family heirloom

A piece your children, grandchildren and future family can return to when they need to hear that voice again.

How it works

Simple, respectful and guided from start to finish.

You do not need to know what to ask. You do not need to plan a script. We guide the process so it feels human, gentle and meaningful.

i.

A free discovery conversation

We start with an unhurried call. You tell us about your loved one, your family, and what you would most want preserved. We listen, ask gentle questions, and help you decide whether this feels like the right time and the right project.

ii.

A guided life story interview

A relaxed, beautifully directed conversation in a place where they feel at ease. We send a few gentle prompts beforehand so nothing feels surprising, but there's no script and no homework. The session is unhurried — we allow enough time for the conversation to unfold naturally, and we don't cut off important stories because a timer has run out.

iii.

Film, polish and delivery

Your story is shaped into a polished keepsake — the interview becomes the spine, with photographs, music, colour grading and audio mix woven in. Delivered digitally as a private viewing link, and (on selected packages) as a keepsake USB box you can hold in your hands.

What can be captured

Not just dates and facts. The person behind them.

A glimpse of our work

Recent legacy films.

Short extracts from real life story interviews — gentle, honest, and quietly cinematic.

Andrew Netherton

Andrew reminisces about his life and family.

Steve Williams

Steve reflects on his life and family, from his garden pub

Suzanne Suen

Sue reflects on her life and family, whilst cooking a meal for her family.

Included with selected packages

The Memory Film

Alongside the full legacy interview, selected packages include a short Memory Film. This is a 2 to 4 minute edit using the most meaningful moments, family photographs and gentle music — giving the family something simple, heartfelt and easy to watch or share at a wake, a memorial or a quiet gathering at home.

A smaller option

A Message for Later.

Leave a personal message for the people you love, in your own voice.

For some families, a full life story film is right. For others, a simple message is enough. A Message for Later is a shorter, private film for someone who wants to leave their voice, love, advice, humour, memories or personal thoughts for the people who matter most.

We gently guide the person through what they may want to say, then film and edit a personal message that can be kept by the family and watched when the time feels right.

£497

£297

Every family is different, so our filming sessions are designed to feel relaxed and unhurried. We do not cut off important conversations because a timer has run out. If a project grows significantly beyond the agreed package — for example extra interviewees, extra locations or a much larger edit — we will always discuss it clearly with you before anything changes.

Questions

A few things families often ask.

Not at all. Many of our favourite projects are made when life feels entirely normal — that's often when the best stories come out naturally. A milestone birthday, a retirement, a quiet weekend with a parent. There is no perfect moment; the best one is usually whenever feels right for your family.

The Voice Keepsake (£697) is a focused, intimate interview — a simple, honest way to preserve someone's voice, face and stories. The Legacy Film (£1,497) is the fuller experience: a beautifully filmed life story that weaves in family photographs, a shorter Memory Film, music and a polished cinematic edit. Most families choose The Legacy Film; The Voice Keepsake is for families who want something simpler.

That is completely normal — and the question we hear most often. The interview is calm, guided and conversational. They don't need to perform or prepare a speech. The first half hour is mostly tea and chat; by the time the questions begin, the camera has usually disappeared from the room. Most people are surprised by how much they enjoy it.

As long as it needs to be. Every family is different, so the session is designed to feel relaxed and unhurried — some people open up quickly, others need time, and we don't rush important stories. We won't know exactly how long is needed until the conversation begins, and that's part of the point. If a project grows significantly beyond the agreed scope, we'll discuss it clearly with you before anything changes.

Yes — please. Family photographs, old video clips, letters, postcards and meaningful objects can all help the final film feel more personal. The Legacy Film and The Heirloom Collection both include photo integration, and we offer photo scanning as an optional extra if you'd like us to handle physical originals.

Wherever your loved one feels most at ease — almost always their own home. We've also filmed in gardens, allotments, sheds, the kitchen of a family pub, and on the deck of a much-loved sailing boat. The setting matters; we'll talk it through with you on the discovery call.

Yes — local filming is included where stated, and travel outside the local area is quoted clearly before anything is booked. We've worked across Scotland, Wales, the south coast and most of England. For Northern Ireland, the islands or overseas, we'll send a clear travel quote on enquiry.

You do. The finished film, the raw interview footage, any photographs we've scanned — all of it is yours, with full rights to share, copy and pass on. We retain a copy in our archive (with your permission) so we can re-issue replacements if a drive is ever lost or damaged. Nothing is ever published or shared without your written consent.

From the discovery call to the finished film, most projects run between six and ten weeks. The Voice Keepsake is on the shorter end; The Heirloom Collection, with more filming and a longer edit, can take up to twelve. If you're working against a tighter timeline, please tell us — we hold a small amount of capacity each month for time-sensitive work.

It's a shorter, private film for someone who wants to leave a personal message in their own voice — words of love, advice, humour or thought for the people who matter most. We gently guide them through what they may want to say, then film and edit a short personal message the family can keep. It's available standalone for £497, or as a £297 add-on to any Legacy Film package.
