Memorial Photo Restoration
A loved one's photo, restored with care
When someone has died, the photo you choose matters. We restore photos for a funeral or celebration of life, for a memorial slideshow or a keepsake for the family: damage repaired, colors brought back with care, and, if you'd like, a gentle animation.
Please check the timing first. Standard delivery is within one week of receiving your photos and payment. If the service is sooner than that, email us at loof@eevolver.com before you order, so we can tell you honestly whether we can help in time.
What we can do for a memorial photo
- Restore the photo: repair tears, scratches, fading, stains and water damage. See old photo restoration.
- Colorize it: natural, period-accurate color, guided by what you remember. See photo colorization.
- Gently animate it: a blink or a soft smile, kept small and respectful. See photo animation.
- Memorial Composite: add a loved one who has passed into a family photo, with extra care, ethical review and a dedicated story consultation. Quoted after consultation, $129–$149.
Handled with care
Every restoration starts with a question: who is this, and what would you want them to know? Tell us about the person, the photo and what you hope to feel when you see it. A person reviews every face before delivery, and we never invent details that weren't in the photograph.
How to send the photo
- Phone photos of prints are fine. Lay the print flat, in bright, even light, with no glare, and shoot straight on so the photo fills the frame.
- If you have a scanner, use it. A higher scan resolution gives us more detail to work with, especially for small prints.
- Take the print out of a glass frame or plastic sleeve first if you can do it safely; reflections hide detail.
- Upload JPG, PNG, HEIC or TIFF files, up to 15 MB each. Your original print never has to leave your home.
If the only copy is a small or heavily compressed image, for example from a phone or social media, send the best version you have and tell us; we'll be honest about how much detail can be recovered.
