My only personal experience doing something like this was with those slides at the drug store. Rite Aid to be exact. And I can say they photos came out great, really clear. My only real point being that it can be done.

The story is I bought the collection of a famous botanist, Dr. Alfred Byrd Graf, who discovered and photographed over 100 new exotic plants all over the world, many of the plants used in medicine. He was known as the Indiana Jones of botanists as he travelled to many dangerous and remote areas to search for new plants. In New Guinea he hired locals as bodyguards due to the presence of cannibal tribes. I had 5,000 exotic plant slides he photographed, including in New Guinea, and sent in a few to Rite Aid to see how they would come out.

You will find someone, as I'm sure there are people/companies who will do it. Lots of people these days want their old family photos and negatives scanned and printed. Plus there are lots of artists who use these types of services-- such as making a painting of theirs in to a poster, or a photo into a poster. It's just a matter of finding someone reputable.
