The photograph you love
A favourite portrait, a family moment or a place that meant the world to them. We’ll help you choose photographs that work well on the page.
PERSONALISED ORDERS OF SERVICE
A life remembered.
A story
worth keeping.
More than the words that guide a service. A collection of photographs, memories and little details that bring your loved one’s story to life.
Thoughtfully created by our team, with your family at the heart of every page.
A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO REMEMBER
Their smile. Their favourite place.
The things that made them, them.

PERSONAL STORIES. BEAUTIFUL POSSIBILITIES.
There’s a little of them
in every detail.
A much-loved garden. Walks across the hills. A life lived in colour. Quiet mornings by the water. Four ways a memory can become a personal design.
01 — THE GARDEN COLLECTIONFor a life
For a life
that made
others bloom.
Roses in their favourite colours, a photograph full of warmth and a collection of moments with the people they loved.
A personal portraitA page of memoriesA matching service layout
These are illustrative designs using fictional names and generated photographs. Your booklet would be created with your own photographs, words and memories.
YOUR MEMORIES. OUR CARE.
You bring their story.
We’ll help you
tell it beautifully.
We know that even the smallest decisions can feel difficult when someone you love has died. You don’t have to have it all worked out.
We’ll listen, offer ideas and gently bring the details together with you, until the booklet feels right for your family.
The words that feel right
Readings, memories, hymns or simply a few words from the heart. Religious or non-religious, the content follows your wishes.
The details only you know
A favourite flower, their football colours, a passion for travel. Tell us what made them special, and we can discuss ways to reflect it.
One less thing for your family to organise.
We’ll explain whether orders of service are included in your chosen funeral arrangements, confirm any cost and agree the number of copies you need before we begin.
CREATED TOGETHER, ONE STEP AT A TIME
From a first conversation
to a treasured keepsake.
We take care of bringing everything together, with your family involved along the way.
- 01
We listen
Tell us about their life, their wishes and what you would like people to remember.
- 02
We create
We bring your photographs and words into a design, with a running order agreed with the person leading the service.
- 03
You make it yours
We go through the design together so you can check names, dates, photographs and wording before printing.
- 04
We prepare
Once everything is agreed, we print the booklets for the service, ready for family and friends to follow and keep.
FROM THE FIRST PAGE TO THE LAST
Room for the service.
Space for their story.
An order of service can be simple or filled with personal touches. We’ll help you decide what to include.
- 01 A personal cover
- Their name, life dates, a favourite photograph, and the date, time and location of the service.
- 02 A guide for the day
- The running order, music and readings, with any hymns or prayers you have chosen.
- 03 Memories to keep
- Photographs, a short tribute, a familiar saying or a few words that capture their personality.
- 04 A thoughtful thank-you
- A family message, gathering details and, if you wish, charity information or a link to the funeral notice.
THE PLACES. THE PEOPLE. THE MEMORIES.
Something to hold on to,
long after the day.
A LITTLE REASSURANCE
We’re here
for your questions.
There is no perfect place to start.
We’ll find the way together.
What if we don’t know where to start?
That’s absolutely fine. Begin with a photograph or a few words about your loved one. We’ll talk through the options with you and help shape the booklet from there.
Can the design be completely personal?
Yes. These examples are starting points. A hobby, a favourite place, a colour or a family photograph can all inspire the design. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss how to bring it to the page.
Does it have to be a religious service?
No. The booklet can reflect a religious funeral, a non-religious service or a celebration of life. We’ll work with you and the person leading the service to agree the content.
Will we see it before it is printed?
We’ll go through the design and wording with you before printing. It’s a chance to check names, dates, service details and photographs, and tell us about any changes you would like.
How many copies should we have?
Think about the guests you expect and any family or friends who cannot attend but may appreciate a copy. We’ll help you agree a quantity and explain when we need your final details.
HERE FOR YOUR FAMILY
Let’s create something
that feels like them.
Bring your ideas, your photographs, or simply yourself.
A conversation is all it takes to begin.
