Who this helps
families, editors, funeral homes, and volunteers organizing final tribute files and backups.
24-hour tribute planning
Name memorial video backups so the approved copy stays clear.
Name final exports, caption files, photos, review versions, and archive folders so the family can identify the approved memorial video later.
What to gather
- Approved final filename
- Version and delivery date
- Caption or subtitle files
- Archive owner and location
Suggested workflow
- Choose one plain filename pattern.
- Mark review drafts separately.
- Store the approved final and captions together.
- Record who controls the backup.
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
- Avoid filenames such as final-final-new.
- Keep one clearly approved export.
- Do not overwrite the only family copy.
Family review notes
- Confirm the approved file opens correctly.
- Check captions stay paired with the right version.
- Tell the archive owner which file is final.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Avoid private details in public filenames.
- Keep backups in family-controlled storage.
- Remove temporary editor links after confirmation.
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 create the backup?
No. It prepares naming and handoff notes; storage remains with the family or editor.
Should every draft be kept?
No. Keep what the family and editor intentionally need after final approval.
