Step 2: Start the Tribute Video

There are a few ways to start creating a Tribute Video, depending on what’s already been added to the Mementos tab.

If no content has been added to Mementos yet:

  • You’ll see an empty state introducing Tribute Videos
  • Click Make a Tribute Video to get started

If content already exists in Mementos:

  • Click Add Mementos, then choose Tribute Video
  • Or select Add Mementos Story, where creating a Tribute Video is listed alongside other options such as milestones and quotes

All of these entry points start the same Tribute Video creation flow.

Step 3: Complete Payment (If Required)

In most cases, family members are asked to complete a one-time payment before creating a Tribute Video. For organization memorials, this depends on how the organization has configured the feature.

  • A modal opens within Keeper explaining the Tribute Video and what’s included:

Start Your Tribute Video payment modal

  • Click the button to proceed, and a secure payment window opens on top of the modal:

  • Complete payment, then close the payment window or click Back to site
  • The original modal updates to a loading state while your Tribute Video is prepared:

Step 4: Build Your Video

Once the editor opens:

  • Photos and videos already in the Mementos Library are automatically included
  • You can upload additional photos and videos
  • Choose music and select a cover image
  • Arrange the order of content
