Discuss Life Tribute Package

The Life Tribute Package can also be arranged pre-bereavement — for families who wish to capture the life story of a seriously ill loved one while they are still able to share their memories. This is one of the most meaningful gifts a family can create.

The Elders Project

Zimbabwe's elders lived through the liberation struggle, independence, and the building of a nation. They carry stories, wisdom, and memories that no archive holds. Once they are gone, that history is gone forever.

The Elders Project is a dedicated videography service that records the life stories of Zimbabwe's elderly — their histories, memories, family wisdom, and lived experience — and preserves them permanently as a professionally produced film.

For diaspora families, this is especially powerful. Commission a biography video of a parent or grandparent from anywhere in the world — we conduct the interviews locally, edit the film professionally, and deliver it to you digitally.

Standard
$150
2hr interview · 20-30min film
Premium
$250
Full day · extended edit · narration
Diaspora
$180
Remote commission · digital delivery

Add-on: Physical DVD + printed photo book — +$40

"Zimbabwe's elders carry history no textbook records. Their stories of struggle, resilience, love, and wisdom deserve to be preserved — not just for family, but for the nation. The Elders Project captures what time will otherwise erase." — The Phoenix Media Elders Project
How It Works

We understand funerals happen at short notice. Our process is designed to be fast, simple, and stress-free — whether you're booking from Harare or from abroad.

Get in Touch

WhatsApp us — even at short notice. Tell us the date, venue, and what coverage you need. We typically respond within hours, often minutes.

We Confirm & Prepare

We confirm your booking, share the stream link (if applicable), and coordinate any details with local family. Payment can be made before or on the day.

Professional Coverage

Our team arrives early, sets up discreetly, and covers the full service with care and professionalism. Starlink ensures reliable streaming throughout.

Fast Delivery

Preview photos sent via WhatsApp the same day. Full gallery, video, and stream recording delivered digitally within 24–48 hours.

Diaspora Funeral Services

Losing a loved one while living abroad is incredibly difficult. Not being able to attend the funeral makes it harder. Phoenix Media ensures you can still be present — through reliable, professional live streaming and complete media coverage you can watch and keep forever.

How it works from your side: You WhatsApp us from the UK, South Africa, USA, Australia, or anywhere else. We coordinate with your family on the ground in Zimbabwe. On the day, we send you a private stream link. After the service, we deliver all photos, video, and the recording digitally within 24–48 hours.

Same quality, fair pricing. We don't inflate our prices for diaspora families. You get the same packages at the same rates — with the convenience of remote booking and international payment.

A significant portion of our funeral media work is booked by diaspora families. We understand the urgency, the emotion, and the trust required. We take that responsibility seriously.
