Who this helps
families and editors reviewing title cards, photo captions, and closing dedication text.
24-hour tribute planning
Check memorial video captions before the final render.
Review memorial video captions for names, dates, relationships, tone, readability, and do-not-use details before editing.
What to gather
- Name spelling
- Dates and relationships
- Caption length
- Sensitive wording
Suggested workflow
- Draft short captions.
- Read them aloud.
- Confirm spelling with family.
- Send final text as one reviewed list.
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
- Use fewer captions when time is short so review stays manageable.
- Keep each caption short enough to read while the photo is on screen.
- Separate uncertain details into review notes instead of guessing.
Family review notes
- Ask one person to check spellings and relationships.
- Confirm whether humor, faith language, or family sayings feel appropriate.
- Review the final closing slide twice before export.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Avoid private addresses, health details, and conflict in visible captions.
- Keep private editor notes separate from public text.
- Delete draft caption files after approval if they contain sensitive details.
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.
Should every photo have a caption?
No. Chapter cards are often easier to review than captions for every image.
How long should captions be?
Short enough to read comfortably before the next photo appears.
