We understand what a commitment to service truly means.

As a locally owned funeral home, Joyce Funeral Home understands your needs during the hardest of times. When a death occurs, there are details to take care of, decisions and arrangements to be made. Our professional, licensed funeral directors handle those responsibilities for you, and you can depend on us to provide a service that is truly memorable, flawlessly planned, and attention paid to every detail.

No two people were created alike, therefore, we believe there should be no two services alike. Perhaps the most important part of our service is explaining the many ways you can make a funeral a personalized, meaningful celebration of the life that has been lived. The use of memory boards and tables, the creation of a photo tribute video, or even establishing a memorial in their name are just some of the ways to honor the memory of a loved one.


Photo Tribute Video
More and more families are choosing the Tribute Video as a meaningful way to pay tribute to their loved ones.

Tribute Video is a blending of photos and music that will celebrate the life of the one you love. The 12-14 minute video displays the photographs that you have selected of your loved ones and family, with background music chosen by you.

It will be a lasting remembrance which you can cherish forever.

This tribute is offered to families for any occasion.

How to Make a Tribute Video

1. Stack your photos in the order you would like them to appear in the video.
If you're including titles, please make sure where in your stack of photos you would like them to appear.

2. Create your opening title.
Place a Post-it note with the opening title written on it on top of your stack of photos.

3. Choose and provide the background music.
You provide the background music on CD or tape. Write the name of the artist and the song in the order you would like them to play in the video on a sheet of paper and include this with your stack of photos. CDs sound better than tapes! Very Important: The music is background music; please don't try to match up certain songs to photos. Please provide more music than necessary, making sure you bring in at least five songs per 100 photos. The video will last 12 to 14 minutes.

4. Drop your photos and music off at Joyce Funeral Home (2302 23rd Street, Emmetsburg) or Joyce-Alesch Funeral Home (204 N. Van Gordon Ave., Graettinger).

We normally can create the Tribute Video in 24 to 48 hours, and we guarantee your complete satisfaction.

The cost for 100 or fewer photographs, with five to six musical selections, is $150.
