Our Funeral Stationery Service
Personalised funeral stationery is a wonderful way of providing a lasting tribute to the life of a much-loved relative or friend. Indeed, the very process of creating memorial stationery allows families to reflect, contribute and collaborate which helps come to terms with loss and can turn a sad event into a celebration of a life.
Our professionally designed range allows for funeral stationery to be used at the funeral service but also as a keepsake to be treasured long after the service.
We believe that every order is as unique as the life that is being commemorated. We help family and friends to create the perfect tribute.

Photo Editing and Retouching Service
We are able to retouch photos to remove unwanted backgrounds, creases, tears or marks to allow you to use your cherished photos.
If your physical photos are old, they may need some repair work.
We can accept the physical original, or if you prefer, send us a scan and our photo experts will do the rest.
We can crop an area of a photo to use – but please be aware the size of the original and the area cropped will affect the final quality.
A photo captures a moment in time to be remembered forever.
You can include photos within funeral stationery either as single photos or as part of a collage. Below are a number of collage layouts our designers can create. Please specify which style you would prefer when ordering your order of service.
Orders of Service
Orders of Service allow those attending a funeral to follow the service and have the words to hymns, prayers poems and readings. In addition, they are often kept by attendees long after the service as a keepsake.
The most popular style for an Order of Service is A5 (148mm x 210mm) which is available in multiples of 4 pages. (4, 8, 12, 16, 20).
We can also produce a six page, roll-fold order of service (99mm x 210mm)
Our orders of service are printed on a premium silk paper. This coated stock gives vibrant colours without being too glossy.
If you prefer, we can print on an uncoated paper or for a small extra cost, you can choose a recycled premium paper.
Prestige Order of Service
A slightly larger, six page roll-fold order of service printed on a premium pearlescent card. This product offers plenty of space for text and photographs and is finished to 120mm x 212mm allowing it to fit in a jacket pocket or bag.
