Each funeral order of service and farewell is as unique as the life it honours, a personal story woven through precious time, relationships, and moments.
We are privileged to help you tell that story with the care and reverence it deserves. Our commitment to celebrating life’s journey has been at the centre of our service from the very beginning. As we introduce you to our history, we invite you to understand the foundations of our dedication to your memorials.
The Highest Quality Printing with Heritage: Our History
Thirty-five years ago, the cornerstone of our funeral stationery printing business was laid within the walls of Alec’s North Wales home. Here, amidst the rhythmic chug of old print presses and the dedicated craftsmanship of our early team, a tradition of excellence began. Fast forward to today, and while the charm of the old presses is a cherished memory, we’ve embraced the future with cutting-edge, high-specification machinery. Yet, some things remain as they were — the unwavering dedication of our team. Their skilled hands operate the latest technology and meticulously hand-finish each funeral order of service, ensuring every tribute we craft not only honours your loved ones but also upholds the artistry and personal touch that are the hallmarks of our longstanding heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many copies of an order of service do you need for a funeral?
The number of copies you’ll need can vary depending on the size of the service. A good rule of thumb is to print enough copies for about 10-15% more attendees than you expect. This ensures that each guest receives one, and you’ll have extra copies to send to those who couldn’t attend or to keep as keepsakes.
How to print a funeral service program?
To print a funeral service program, begin by compiling the content, such as photographs, tributes, and the sequence of the service. Select a printing service that provides a range of templates or bespoke designs to suit your needs. After designing your program, review it meticulously before it goes to print to ensure everything is perfect. We take special care helping you to proof your content too.
What photos do you put on an order of service for a funeral?
The photos you choose for an order of service should intimately reflect the life of the departed. A portrait or a collage of life moments is fitting for the cover, while the interior can feature candid shots of the deceased with family, friends, and cherished pets. Select images that honour their memory and resonate with loved ones.
How long does it take to get an order of service printed?
While printing times can vary, we specialise in rapid service. Most orders can be turned around within 2-3 days following the final proof approval. For those who need it sooner, we offer same-day printing with complimentary next-day delivery to ensure you have the programs in time for the service, providing you with one less thing to worry about during this challenging time.
