Upon my dad’s passing, I embarked on the arduous task of collecting pictures for his service. We only had physical copies of some important older pictures, so I began researching the best way to digitize them as sitting around scanning was not something I had the capacity to do.
A random, years old Reddit post helped me discover Heirloom. My dad is a veteran, and this is a veteran owned business. I emailed ahead of time, to make sure turnaround times would work for our plans. They offered to rush processing, which totally was not needed, but meant the world to me. This was the business I wanted to support, and I have zero regrets about that choice.
We gathered pictures and sent them on. One magical day last week I got an email that my photos were ready. I don’t truly know what they do with the photos, but they somehow look even better than the original photos. I now have a copy of my favorite Polaroid photo of my dad and I on his motorcycle (that is at least 35 years old), clearly, on my phone and don’t have to worry about the original being lost.
I can’t recommend this company enough. Once I find my 6th grade graduation video, I hope to have that digitized as well. Today, our photos were delivered back home, safe and sound with a hand signed card by 6 employees. It truly is the little things that make the hugest impact.
