Who this helps
families scanning albums, printed photos, service programs, and older images for a tribute slideshow.
24-hour tribute planning
Turn scanned funeral photos into an editor-ready order.
Prepare scanned funeral photos for a video editor with file order, caption notes, crop warnings, and privacy instructions.
What to gather
- Scan quality
- File order
- Crop warnings
- Caption and date notes
Suggested workflow
- Scan must-use photos first.
- Number files in the intended order.
- Add crop and repair notes.
- Send the organized handoff pack.
Privacy boundary
MemorialRushAI does not automatically upload family photos or service details. Use secure transfer only, review every name and date, and ask the editor to delete working files after delivery and approval.
Rush readiness checklist
- Scan at a consistent quality and avoid retaking photos from a screen if a better original exists.
- Number files before sending so the editor can follow the intended story quickly.
- Mark damaged photos that need gentle cropping or restoration expectations.
Family review notes
- Check whether older photos have correct names, dates, and locations.
- Ask family before excluding meaningful but low-quality photos.
- Confirm which scanned documents are for reference only and should not appear in the final video.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Avoid scanning private documents unless they are needed for the video.
- Use secure transfer for scans, especially if they include children or family records.
- Request deletion of unused scans after delivery and approval.
Editor handoff review
Before checkout, make sure the brief includes the final contact email, deadline, video length, music notes, photo count, required captions, and any do-not-use instructions. A clean handoff reduces rework during a sensitive deadline.
When a paid memorial handoff is worth it
Buy the $49 starter only after the free brief has enough names, dates, photos, service timing, tone, and music notes for a careful editor handoff. Use the $99 expanded pack when the family also needs archive notes, accessibility review prompts, after-service copy, backup naming, and resharing notes. Skip payment if you need photo scanning, final video production, public posting, funeral-home contact, USB creation, file deletion, grief counseling, legal advice, music licensing advice, accessibility certification, consent advice, or guaranteed delivery, playback, approval, privacy, ranking, traffic, sales, or revenue.
What if scans are low quality?
Mark them clearly. The editor can decide whether to crop, soften, or use them briefly.
Should I send every album photo?
No. Send a must-use set first, then optional extras if the deadline allows.
