Who this helps
families and helpers sorting decades of photos into a clear tribute video order.
24-hour tribute planning
Organize memorial photos before the rush deadline.
Organize memorial photos into a respectful sequence before sending them to a tribute video editor.
What to gather
- Must-use photos
- Photo chapter groups
- Caption notes
- Do-not-use items
Suggested workflow
- Create a minimum photo set.
- Group by life chapter.
- Mark sensitive or duplicate images.
- Send the clean order 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
- Start with a smaller must-use folder so production can begin even if extra photos arrive later.
- Use chapter folders such as childhood, family, work, hobbies, friends, and closing memories.
- Keep filename order simple so the editor can follow the family sequence without guessing.
Family review notes
- Ask one reviewer to confirm the photo order and relationship labels.
- Flag photos that should be cropped, shown briefly, or excluded.
- Check whether any person in a photo may not belong in a public service slideshow.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Use private folders with limited access for source photos.
- Avoid posting source photo folders publicly while collecting contributions.
- Ask the editor to delete unused and working files after 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.
How many photos should I choose first?
Choose the smallest set that can tell the story, then add optional photos only if time allows.
Should captions be written for every photo?
No. Short chapter notes are often enough unless a specific photo needs context.
