Who this helps
families, funeral homes, churches, venues, and editors coordinating reliable service playback.
24-hour tribute planning
Confirm funeral slideshow playback format before the service.
Prepare funeral slideshow playback notes for a chapel TV, projector, laptop, livestream, or backup USB.
What to gather
- Screen aspect ratio
- Accepted video format
- Audio connection
- Primary and backup playback copies
Suggested workflow
- Ask the venue for specifications.
- Add format notes to the brief.
- Test the final file on site.
- Keep a backup copy and contact.
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
- Confirm resolution, aspect ratio, codec, file size, and whether audio is available.
- Bring the final file on two approved media options when possible.
- Schedule a real playback test before guests arrive.
Family review notes
- Check that title cards and captions remain readable from the back of the room.
- Confirm the video starts and ends cleanly without desktop notifications or player controls.
- Keep one final approved file clearly labeled to avoid playing the wrong draft.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Do not leave source photo folders or private drafts on venue equipment.
- Use only the approved final playback file on shared devices.
- Remove temporary copies from venue or borrowed computers after the service.
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.
Does MemorialRushAI convert the video format?
No. It prepares playback requirements and handoff notes for the editor or venue.
Is a USB copy enough?
Bring a backup option and test both with the actual playback setup whenever possible.
