“From first contact Moritz didn't just treat me like an enquiry but immediately invested in checking out the venue, area and in detail talking through how it could be done. The Livestream was excellent. I noticed him only twice. Very discreet and professional. We looked at others who had more years experience but Funeral Memories had the edge with the personal touch and were more value for money, offering more than the competition for less.
Very, very proud of the recording of my brothers funeral. Could not fault a thing.”
“Moritz filmed and livestreamed my husband's funeral in February 2021, at a time when only 30 people could attend in person, so that a streamed film was the only way all our family and friends could be part of it. Moritz was just wonderful - perfectly professional, he was thoroughly reassuring before the event, set up without any fuss, flmed unobtrusively yet effectively, and produced a really beautiful final edit with excellent sound as well as videography. I am also very grateful that the film remains accessible and downloadable on his website - I have been able to send the link to many friends who missed the announcements at the time. Indeed, I'm writing this review now because I was just checking the link and saw that there was an opportunity to say something here.
The cost was reasonable and less than others offering an inferior service. All communications were efficient, polite and warm without ever being pushy. I can recommend Schmittat Photography very highly indeed, particularly for ultra-sensitive occasions like a funeral.”
“We were enormously impressed by the service provided by Moritz and Aldona. They made a potentially difficult aspect of an already challenging day very straightforward indeed. The results (both video and audio quality) were superb. Family and friends as far away as Australia, Italy and Scotland were able to watch at the time and the recording was already available online early the next morning. Most impressive were the flexibility and personalised approach shown throughout, right from the very easy-to-use booking system, and the fact that the thoroughness of the preliminary conversations over the phone meant that the technical aspects of the day flowed perfectly and unobtrusively, enabling something very special to be made of the occasion. Thank you!”
“Moritz did a good and professional job on the day of the funeral. Before the day, he took the time to listen to our specific needs and address them. We are very much happy with the overall service.”
“I found both Moritz and Aldona very professional. The booking side was very smooth and Aldona made sure everything was covered and in place. Moritz researched the venue well beforehand to make sure everything was perfect and was very discrete while the funeral was taking place. The live stream was perfectly mixed with excellent sound and vision quality. We had people tuning in from all over the world and the stream did not drop out at all. I would highly recommend Schmittat to anyone.”
“They were efficient, informative and very polite in dealing with our requirements. Web remote access signal testing was done ahead to ensure a good connection. The URL streaming link, provided beforehand, ensured that those around the world could test their access well in advance. On the day, Mr Schmittat performed well almost as unseen in the background. The video transmission, even when we were on the move to the burial spot, was clear and steady. We were delighted with the result and now have downloaded both videos and stills and placed them on our own web photosite for those family and friends, not able attend the service, could see at a later date. The recordings are also independantly made available via the Schmittat Ltd URL supplied link for as long as you like, set as either private of public. I would recommend anyone wanting a streaming or simply a recording service for any occasion to at least discuss their needs with Mr Scmittat. I was glad that we did.”
