It’s how people discover brands, build trust, and decide who they’d call on the worst day of their life. And in October 2025? DISRUPT Media clients **crushed it.** Below you’ll find the **Top 5 Best-Performing Videos** across all DISRUPT client accounts last month. But before we jump in, here’s what the numbers are screaming: ## 🚀 Why Video Is THE Power Play for Funeral Homes in 2025   ### **1. Facebook & Instagram are now *interest-based* platforms.** And guess what drives interests? **Video. Video. Video.**   From Meta’s Q2 2025 Earnings Call: - **AI-powered recommendations increased time spent on Facebook by 5%, and on Instagram by 6%.** - **Video viewing time is up 20% year-over-year.** Translation: Meta is aggressively pushing video into more feeds—even to people who don’t follow you yet. ### **2. The 55+ demographic watches MORE video than ever.** Recent 2025 data shows: - **74% of Facebook users over 55 now watch video daily.** - This age bracket spends **32% more time with short-form content** compared to last year. - Reels consumption among the 55–70 group grew **18% YoY.** That’s *your* audience. ### **3. Reels under 90 seconds outperform everything else.** Retention climbs. Completion rates rise. And most importantly: **your brand becomes familiar, consistent, and trusted.** ### **4. “Best known” beats “best.” Every time.** Video is the fastest way to: - Build emotional familiarity - Humanize your staff - Highlight your facility - Share educational content - Stay top-of-mind when families need someone to trust Short-form video = modern relationship building. ## 🎬 **OCTOBER 2025 — TOP 5 CLIENT VIDEOS** (*These are the videos that dominated engagement, shares, and watch time last month.*) 🔥 **#1 - [How We Load a Casket Into the Hearse](https://www.facebook.com/reel/3283565351804056?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_fodaJgWkdc8YmFMHMfLL3I87I8p25y4z1Lhh0_iV95e1Wc17orIl9-mER_wCDeUG_eNyK) - 670K views** 🔥 #2 - [A Common Misconception about Cremation](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1515611046144563?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_fodaJgWkdc8YmFMHMfLL3I87I8p25y4z1Lhh0_iV95e1Wc17orIl9-mER_wCDeUG_eNyK) - 40K views 🔥 **#3 - [Guess What We Are Purchasing...](https://www.facebook.com/reel/3792451417718386?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_fodaJgWkdc8YmFMHMfLL3I87I8p25y4z1Lhh0_iV95e1Wc17orIl9-mER_wCDeUG_eNyK) - 13.7K Views ** 🔥 **#4 - [Why Haven't You Picked Up My Loved One Yet?](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1358113019351462?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_fodaJgWkdc8YmFMHMfLL3I87I8p25y4z1Lhh0_iV95e1Wc17orIl9-mER_wCDeUG_eNyK) - 15K views** 🔥 **#5 - [Flying a Drone in The Funeral Home](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1706370993358353?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_fodaJgWkdc8YmFMHMfLL3I87I8p25y4z1Lhh0_iV95e1Wc17orIl9-mER_wCDeUG_eNyK) - 14K views**   ## 🎬 'Outside the box' Top Videos   🔥 **#1 - [Hello Neighbor (Mr. Roger's style)](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1063218105775184?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_fodaJgWkdc8YmFMHMfLL3I87I8p25y4z1Lhh0_iV95e1Wc17orIl9-mER_wCDeUG_eNyK) - 11K views** **🔥 #2 - [You Can't Trust Everyone](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1506028403759590?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_fodaJgWkdc8YmFMHMfLL3I87I8p25y4z1Lhh0_iV95e1Wc17orIl9-mER_wCDeUG_eNyK) - 4K views**   ## 📈 What This Means for Your Funeral Home Brand   If you’re posting consistent short-form videos, you’re already ahead.
