When video helps
Video brings back sound and movement: the bark, the purr, the tail, the slow walk across the room, the greeting at the door. For many families, one short clip makes the memorial feel alive in a way photos cannot.
What kind of video to choose
- A calm clip that shows personality.
- A favorite routine, like walking, playing, or resting nearby.
- A short moment with family.
- A clip that feels comforting, not painful to replay.
Keep privacy in mind
If the video is hosted on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or Vimeo, the original platform controls part of the privacy. Before adding a link, check whether the video is public, unlisted, or private.
Do not let video replace the story
A video is powerful, but a memorial still needs words. Add a short note under the clip: what was happening, why the moment mattered, and what you want people to notice.
How TailLumen uses video
TailLumen supports optional video links beside photos, tribute text, candles, and memory walls. The goal is not to make a noisy feed. It is to keep one meaningful clip in context with the story.
