Who this helps
families, celebrants, funeral homes, and venue contacts who need a reliable backup copy for service playback.
24-hour tribute planning
Prepare a backup USB plan before the memorial slideshow is played.
Prepare a memorial slideshow USB backup checklist with final file naming, second copy, venue test, audio check, and deletion notes.
What to gather
- Final approved filename
- Two backup copies
- Venue playback test
- Audio and screen check
Suggested workflow
- Ask the venue which formats work.
- Label the final approved file clearly.
- Prepare two backup copies.
- Test playback before guests arrive.
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
- Keep one file labeled final so the wrong draft is not played.
- Bring a second approved copy on a separate drive or private download link.
- Confirm who has the backup and how to reach them during the service.
Family review notes
- Watch the file from beginning to end before copying it to USB.
- Confirm captions are readable on the actual screen or projector.
- Make sure the final file starts cleanly without desktop windows or player controls.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Do not leave source photos or private drafts on venue computers.
- Use only the final approved video on shared playback devices.
- Remove temporary copies after the service when possible.
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.
Is one USB enough?
Use at least one backup option and test it with the actual venue setup whenever possible.
Does MemorialRushAI create the video file?
No. It prepares the playback and backup requirements for the editor or venue.
