Pre-recorded Contributions to Funeral Services

There are several ways pre-recorded content can be prepared for a funeral service.

1. Audio
   This would be a recorded tribute or song. It can be sent as either a wave or compressed file, any adjustments to the file will be done by our staff. An audio track is small enough to send via standard email and can be sent to support@gillions.co.nz
2. Video
   If you have a web cam or handy cam you can provide a video tribute. The preferred format is compressed mp4 but we can work with MOV, MPG and AVI files. As these files are generally over 8Meg please use our drop box at http://dropbox.yousendit.com/GFSOffice
3. Cell Phone Video
   Many of the new cell phones have video options. If you record a tribute on a cell phone you can email it through to support@gillions.co.nz
4. Skype
   We have facilities in-house to record Skype in either audio or video formats. If you want to Skype us to record a tribute please email us first on support@gillions.co.nz to arrange a time, so we can have a staff member available. The office's Skype address is Gillions Funeral Services while the address to link to the chapel is GFS Chapel. Please note the GFS Chapel address is only used during funeral services.
5. Photoshow
   If you want to put together a photo show (PowerPoint) presentation incorporating pictures, audio and video, the best way to get it to use for the service is to send it as a video file. The preferred format is compressed mp4 but we can work with MOV, MPG, and AVI files. As these files are generally over 8Meg please use our drop box at http://dropbox.yousendit.com/GFS-dropbox If you have prepared it as a PowerPoint presentation, and the audio and video are imbedded in the file, please send it through and we will convert it to operate on our system.
6. Photographs
   You may have some photographs to be included into the photoshow. The higher the resolution the better the result. Scan photos at 300 dpi minimum. If there are a few photos, put them into a compressed file and then please put them into our drop box http://dropbox.yousendit.com/GFS-dropbox
