Can I use this template for a non-religious celebration of life?
Yes, absolutely. While the template is initially styled with a traditional cross, this graphic element is completely separate from the background layout. If you want a purely secular presentation, you can simply click on the cross on any slide and hit delete. The underlying gold vine filigree will remain perfectly intact and beautifully framed.

Why does the file download with 25 slides if the preview only shows 16?
To save room and provide a quick browsing experience on the product page, the web preview only showcases 16 core layout variations. Your actual download includes the complete, expanded 25-slide package containing additional photo collages, alternative chapter breaks, and extended text layouts.

How do I change the colors of the template globally?
Because all graphic accents, borders, and text boxes are linked directly to PowerPoint's native Theme Colors, you do not have to change slides one by one. Simply navigate to the Design tab in PowerPoint, open the Variants/Colors menu, and select a new theme. The entire 25-slide deck will adapt to the new palette instantly.

Does the included background audio work on Google Slides?
The comforting instrumental audio track is natively embedded inside the PowerPoint file format. If you upload the presentation into Google Slides, you may need to re-link or re-upload your preferred audio file using Google's Insert > Audio tool, as web-based platforms handle media layers differently than native software.

How do I set the slideshow to play and loop automatically at a venue?
To run this deck as an automated slideshow loop, open the file in your preferred software, navigate to the Transitions tab, check the box for "Advance Slide After," and set the duration. We recommend a default timing of 6 to 8 seconds per slide.
