Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a slideshow be for a funeral?
This depends on how on how you’re going to use the funeral slideshow. On average, people talk at 150 words per minute. Suppose you have written a 1500 word speech, it will take 10 minutes. Your funeral slideshow should therefore last 10 minutes.
Fortunately, you can set the display time per photo yourself. Suppose you have 40 photos that you want to show. Then 1 photo must be shown for 15 seconds.
Do you want to have 1 slideshow play continuously in the background? Then choose the maximum length. A playback time that fills the entire funeral. It is then advisable to use as many photos as possible. For example about 200.
With PhotoMeister it is possible to put the slideshow on repeat. If you choose a playback time of 10 seconds per photo, the funeral slideshow will last 33 minutes.
