For coordinators and directors who need a reliable local supplier

This page is for funeral directors, aged care lifestyle coordinators, historical society archivists and estate agents who regularly field requests from families for photo preservation, tribute videos or digitisation. Silver Frame Archives is based in Blacktown City Council on the Hawkesbury LGA border, serving the Hawkesbury, North West Sydney and the Hills District — with clear pricing, guaranteed turnaround commitments, and one contact you can reach by phone or email whenever a family needs this service.

Tribute video montages — the core offer

Families bring physical prints. We scan them, restore where needed, and assemble a professionally edited tribute set to licensed music, ready for the service. Assembled from scanned printed photographs only — no VHS or tape transfer.

Volume partnership rates negotiated individually — see below.

Turnaround commitments — what we guarantee

The hard decline under 3 business days protects your service and the family: a late or rushed tribute causes genuine harm, and we would rather tell you immediately and help you find an alternative. Give us the service date at the point of referral — you'll have a yes-or-no and a committed delivery date within hours, and that answer doesn't change.

Complementary services for referred families

Photo scanning from $1.00/photo (min. $40) · slide and negative digitisation from $1.50 · restoration at $90/hour with a free assessment first · Immich-based digital archive setup ($150–$400). Referred families receive the same published consumer pricing — a rate card is available on request. All originals are returned with a condition report.

Reminiscence therapy projects for aged care

For lifestyle coordinators and activity managers: a scheduled scanning session where residents or their families bring photo collections for digitisation. The result — a digital archive, life story book, or tribute video — becomes a therapeutic asset for ongoing reminiscence sessions, a clinically recognised approach in dementia and aged care wellbeing. Per-resident projects run $200–$400, typically 3–5 residents per facility per year under a simple retainer. To pilot a Memory Session at your facility, use the email button on this page.

Why organisations partner with us

Historical societies & community archives

We also digitise collections for historical societies, RSL clubs, churches and community libraries: high-resolution scanning of prints, slides and negatives, plus Immich-based archive setup with secure institutional access. Flat project pricing $500–$2,500 by collection size, with optional annual retainers. Hawkesbury collections are a particular interest — and we can act as delivery partner for NSW Local Government Heritage Grants or NLA Community Heritage Grants, with formal quotes suitable for grant documentation.

Volume and account pricing

Organisations generating recurring work are offered negotiated account rates — agreed individually on expected volume and job type. For funeral homes this usually means a standing preferred-supplier relationship; for aged care, an annual retainer with flat per-project rates. Outline your expected volume by email and a quote comes back within one business day.
