"For a contemporary feel, consider 'Landslide' by Fleetwood Mac, or 'See You Again' by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth, depending on the individual's life story. These evoke reflection and remembrance without being overly somber."
"Project a slideshow in a bright, modern event space like a gallery in downtown Austin, perhaps against a softened brick wall, creating an impactful backdrop during a seated reception or open house memorial."
"A 7-minute slideshow might include 60-70 photos and 2-3 short video clips, moving from childhood memories to recent family gatherings, accompanied by a favorite instrumental piece. Focus on variety to keep viewers engaged yet reflective."
