Sometimes our local family owned business, Leave A Legacy is confused with Legacy Box a large corporation that is heavily advertised on the Rush Limbaugh radio show. Here we will compare the differences in the service provided by Leave A Legacy and Legacy Box. Some people have heard of the Southtree business as well. Southtree is just another name that Legacy Box uses (they are the same business, different name and slightly different packages).

If you aren’t local, to leave A Legacy then you can pop your items in a package and ship it off to us (we have almost daily visits from our friendly UPS and FedEx drivers). Your memories will be returned to you within 7-10 days, unlike their competitors, Legacy Box and Southtree where all projects are shipped to them and whose services take 3-4 weeks and then your materials are shipped back.
Personal Service: When you bring in your media you are greeting with a friendly face of a person who genuinely cares about you and preserving your memories unlike shipping your priceless memories to a warehouse to be worked on by an army of technicians.

Types of edits you can do include rearranging video/film segments, adding titles, captions, highlights, lightening, darkening, scene selection, adding audio, pretty much anything you can imagine.
