When we lose someone we love, finding the right way to honor their memory can feel overwhelming. In a time when families and friends are often spread across states, even continents, coming together in person isn't always possible. That’s where Folksee, your online memorial video maker, steps in—helping you bring voices and memories together in a simple, heartfelt way.
Folksee makes it easy for anyone—no matter their tech skill level—to gather video tributes from people near and far. Whether it’s a remembrance video for a funeral, a celebration of life video, or a memorial reel to share privately with family, Folksee allows people to grieve, remember, and celebrate someone special—together.
Today, families are spread across the globe. Coordinating a time or place for everyone to gather physically is often impossible—especially during times of grief. Folksee bridges that distance.
With just one link, you can invite friends, coworkers, extended family—even childhood neighbors—to contribute. Whether someone is across town or across the ocean, their voice, memories, and love can be part of the tribute.
The result? A video filled with stories, laughter, tears, and heartfelt moments—from people who might not have been able to attend a traditional service. Folksee costs less than $1 per person who records on a reel, and each guest can submit up to five videos, up to 45 seconds each.
Let’s face it: creating a memorial video from scratch can be intimidating. Between requesting videos, downloading them, editing, syncing music, and formatting—it’s a lot to manage.
Folksee takes that burden off your shoulders. You don’t need editing software or technical know-how. All you have to do is create a Folksee reel, add a few memory-prompting questions, and share the invite link. That’s it.
Folksee handles everything else: reminders, collection, and final video compilation. You’ll receive a polished tribute reel without lifting a finger.
Grief doesn’t have to be solitary. With a Folksee memorial reel, everyone has a chance to remember the joy, warmth, and unique spirit of your loved one.
People often say things in these videos that they never shared out loud. Unexpected stories come to the surface. Old jokes are told again. Tears are shed, but so is laughter.
Watching a Folksee tribute feels like sitting in a room full of people who loved the same person—sharing memories, honoring their legacy, and finding comfort in community. It’s like an online memorial service that lives on.
Whether you plan to play the video at a memorial service or keep it as a private family keepsake, Folksee adapts to your needs.
Some families use it to gather stories in advance of a celebration of life, displaying the video at the service or sharing it with guests afterward. Others create it weeks or months later, when emotions have settled and people are ready to reflect.
There’s no wrong way to do it—just the meaningful way that works best for you.
Creating a Folksee memorial video takes just a few steps:
Visit Folksee.com and start a memorial reel. You’ll add a name, upload a photo if you like, and write a short message to invite others to contribute.
Choose up to 5 memory prompts to help people know what to say. You can stick with our default ones or customize them to reflect your loved one’s personality.
Send the private link via text, email, or social media. Anyone with the link can record a video on their phone or laptop—no account required.
Once submissions are in, you’ll receive a beautifully edited video that you can download, share, or keep forever.
Folksee isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to bring people together during one of life’s hardest moments. It helps you preserve the stories, laughter, and love that made someone’s life so special.
In the days and years that follow a loss, these videos become more than memories—they become heirlooms. Grandchildren will get to hear stories from old friends. Partners will hear how much their person meant to others. And families will find comfort knowing they honored a life well lived.
If you’ve recently lost someone or are preparing to honor a loved one’s memory, let Folksee help you gather the voices and stories that mattered most.
It’s private. It’s meaningful. And it’s easier than you think.
