A Private Farewell For A Public Figure
When someone the public knew dies, the family still deserves a farewell of their own. Evermark coordinates photography, film, and livestream production around a plan your authorized representative approves, so the private service stays private and only approved material is shared. Engagements start at $69,500.

Give The Family A Clear Plan For What Is Recorded & Shared
A public memorial can involve a funeral director, venue staff, and people handling press requests. Without agreed responsibilities, the family's representative can become the person answering every production question.
We establish the coverage and approval process before the service. Your plan identifies the moments that may be recorded, any restrictions, and the material intended for public release.
Your Representative Decides & The Plan Holds On The Day
Your family names an authorized representative for production decisions and release approvals. We document their instructions alongside the venue's requirements and the responsibilities of the other teams involved.
On the day, our crew takes direction only from your representative and the approved plan, even when others in the room ask for something different.
The agreement also explains delivery, footage rights, and archive responsibilities, so the family knows what it will receive.
One Decision-Maker. One Approved Plan.

She co-founded Evermark after making memorial films for her own family and looking for a company that could coordinate the work.
Brandy brings sound engineering and multi-camera production experience to Evermark's audio and livestream planning. She helps establish the technical requirements for each booked production.
Her background in behavioral health and grief work informs how the team listens and respects boundaries.
How It Works
How An Engagement Runs
1. A Confidential First Call
One conversation with the production lead who would run your engagement. Bring the dates, the locations, and who holds authority, and we will tell you what the scope requires.
2. A Written Production Plan You Approve
The plan covers the private service, the public tribute, broadcast, press, permissions, privacy restrictions and the final archive. It names your authorized decision-maker and the escalation path. Nothing is booked until you have signed it off.
3. We Deploy & Release On Your Schedule
Crew under agreement, with positions agreed with the funeral director and the security lead before anyone arrives. Approved material is released on the timeline in your plan, the family's own material stays separate, and the archive is delivered as your agreement describes.

Third-party production expenses are quoted separately. A 20% production management fee applies to those expenses. Your proposal shows the supplier costs and management fee separately, and you approve them before we commit.
What We Protect
One Named Production Lead
A single production lead runs the engagement from the first call to the archive and is your representative's point of contact.
Crew Under Agreement
Confidentiality requirements for our crew are documented before booking, and nothing enters our portfolio without your written authorization.
Separate Deliverables, Controlled Release
Family, press, and public deliverables are kept separate, and anything intended for release follows the approval process and timing written into your plan. Anything irreplaceable your family hands us is tracked and returned.
What We Commit To In Writing
Backup Arrangements In Your Plan
Your approved plan sets out the backup equipment, connection, power, and local recording arrangements for your production. If we fail to deliver what you booked, you are refunded in full for the part we did not deliver.
Delivery Dates Agreed Before Booking
Your proposal identifies the first delivery and the schedule for the remaining work. Where material is intended for public release, it also specifies who approves it and when that approval is needed.
Archive Responsibilities In Writing
The agreement explains how the complete archive is delivered and stored, and who holds the rights to it, so the family knows exactly what it will receive.
Tell Us What The Service Requires
Share the dates, locations, and your role in planning the service. We will review the production needs and explain what Evermark can provide.
Before You Call
Questions Before You Call
Who can contact Evermark about a public figure's funeral?
Families and authorized representatives can contact us, including estate representatives, publicists, and family offices. We establish who may approve the production scope and release of material before booking.
Can you work outside Florida?
Tell us the location and dates on your first call. We assess crew availability and travel requirements before confirming whether we can accept the engagement. Your proposal identifies the included travel and any additional costs.
How do you handle confidential information?
Before booking, we document the confidentiality requirements and explain how project information and deliverables will be handled. Any required crew agreements and release restrictions form part of the production arrangements.
Can you work with a television station or broadcaster?
We can discuss the broadcaster's requirements with your authorized representative. The proposal identifies any feeds, permissions, or additional production arrangements included in Evermark's work.
Can we share selected material with the press?
If press delivery is included in your engagement, we prepare the agreed material for your authorized representative's approval. The production plan specifies the release timing and who receives access.
What happens if the livestream is interrupted?
Your production plan explains the backup connection and recording arrangements for the booked livestream, and we keep your authorized representative informed. If the stream cannot be restored, we make it right by delivering the full recording of the service.
What if we need less coverage?
We can review your needs against Evermark's published services and packages. A public figure's funeral does not automatically require one of these larger engagements, and The Legacy funeral media package may be the right fit.
What is included in the starting price?
The proposal defines the included crew, coverage, and deliverables. Third-party expenses and any production management fees are shown separately, along with the total you approve before booking.
Can the service remain private?
We plan our crew's coverage around the family's instructions and venue requirements. Any public release of Evermark material follows the agreed approval process. Guest recording, press access, and venue security need to be addressed with the teams responsible for those areas.
Do you provide security or manage the funeral?
Your funeral director manages the funeral, and the appointed security team manages access and security. Evermark coordinates its media work with those teams, and any additional production responsibilities are specified in the proposal.
