Who this helps
families and volunteers sorting large photo folders under a tight memorial video deadline.
24-hour tribute planning
Clean up duplicate memorial photos before editor handoff.
Prepare a duplicate-photo cleanup checklist for memorial slideshows with folder names, best-copy selection, captions, and backup archive notes.
What to gather
- Duplicate groups
- Best visible copy
- Caption status
- Archive folder
Suggested workflow
- Group duplicate photos.
- Choose the clearest version.
- Keep originals in an archive.
- Send only approved selections to the editor.
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
- Do not spend the whole deadline perfecting duplicates.
- Pick the clearest emotional moments first.
- Keep a simple maybe folder for later review.
Family review notes
- Ask one reviewer to approve final selections.
- Avoid removing meaningful photos just because they are similar.
- Confirm caption names after cleanup.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Keep rejected photos private.
- Do not upload full unsorted archives to public links.
- Remove editor access after delivery.
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 deduplicate photos automatically?
No. It prepares a manual cleanup checklist.
Should originals be deleted?
No. Keep originals until the family confirms the final archive plan.
