The Heart of My MissionÂ
photographic slideshows
My name is Rose, and for many years I have created photographic slideshows set to music to celebrate important family milestones — weddings, birthdays, new births, and at times to remember and honour those we have lost.
​
In August 2025, I lost my husband, Michael. When I began searching for a slideshow tribute to include in his service, I found that most available options felt very generic and lacked the real emotion and empathy I was hoping for. I realised that perhaps the best person to create a tribute for Michael was me.
​
It was an emotional journey, but I felt I was able to do him justice and truly celebrate his life and the wonderful person he was. I was deeply touched when both the celebrant and the funeral director told me it was one of the most meaningful tributes they had seen.
​
A few months after losing Mike, I began to think about what I might do next. It occurred to me that perhaps I could help other families honour and celebrate the lives of their loved ones in the same way. With the support and encouragement of Jonathon Rust Family Funeral Directors I began creating tribute slideshows for other families.
Â
It is a true honour to be entrusted with these precious memories. My aim is always to create a meaningful tribute that reflects a life well lived, and offers comfort and solace to those left behind.
​
My journey is rooted in empathy and respect. I approach every project with the understanding that these tributes are not just about the person, but about the impact they had on the world and the hearts they touched.
