Cast With Dignity & Respect
I work closely with families, hospices, hospitals, and funeral directors, travelling to where your loved one is to take their hand cast with care, compassion, and the utmost respect for their dignity.
Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult time, but creating a lasting memory through hand casting is still possible. If it feels easier, I’m more than happy to coordinate directly with funeral directors or midwives on your behalf, allowing you space while ensuring everything is handled gently and professionally.
Separate Casts, Coming Together Forever
You may wish to have a hand casting made with your loved one after they have passed, but don’t feel able to attend the chapel of rest—and that’s completely okay.
In this case, I can take a cast of your loved one’s hand first, then, when you feel ready, we’ll arrange a second appointment where I’ll gently mould your hand holding theirs.
The final piece will be a deeply meaningful keepsake:
your hands joined together, forever.
What to Expect
When you're ready, I will guide you through the process with care and understanding:
- Initial Contact – You can reach out directly, or I can coordinate with your chosen funeral director, hospice, hospital, or midwife if that feels easier.
- Travelling to You – I will travel to your loved one’s location to take the mould. The process is done quietly and respectfully, preserving their dignity at all times.
- Creating Your Keepsake – Once the cast is taken, I will begin crafting your memorial piece with great care.
- Timeframe – Your finished cast will be ready in approximately 12 weeks, though this may vary depending on size and complexity.
If you're considering a memorial cast or just want to talk through your options, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
I’m here when you’re ready — and will always meet you with compassion, patience, and care.
Memorial jewellery
Losing a loved one is overwhelming, and it’s often hard to consider all the options in the moment. That’s why, whenever I take a hand casting, I also take a fingerprint as part of the process — at no extra pressure or commitment.
This gives you the option to create personalised memorial jewellery using your loved one’s fingerprint, whenever the time feels right.
Please see Jewellery Options for more details.
Pet Memorial Cast
This service is also available for beloved pets, whether at the end of life or those who have already passed. These casts offer a beautiful way to honour the unconditional love they gave and preserve their memory forever.
For all Memorial and End-of-Life Castings, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’m here to help guide you through the process with care and compassion.
