"Always Our Soft Place to Fall" - that’s what we always said about Dad. And now he is "Forever in our Hearts".

"Doing the personalisation of Dad’s coffin just fell into place so easily. And just seeing and reading those words during the Service helped me cope immensely". Sharon, daughter.

Simple steps and choices to personalise your coffin on the coffin lid or side panels

Name
Perhaps you would use the fullname (Deborah Louise Smith), or the first name (Deborah), initials (DLS or DS), or nickname (Deb, Debbie or Possum). You might even use a phrase (My darling Deborah).

Life Dates
We all wish to remember life times in varying ways, either as Life dates, Date of Birth or Date of Death. It can be any date that holds remembrance and significance. 

Please use the following examples as a guide for your choice in selecting a date and style.. 1951 *** 2004 (Life dates) 1951 – 2004 (Life dates) 22-09-51 or 22nd September 1951 (date of birth) 22-09-2005 or 22nd September 2005 (date of death)

Choice of favourite word(s), a saying or expression of love or wishes
Our designs have the capacity for up to 10 to 15 words, on the coffin lid, and up to 12 words on the side panels depending on the chosen design.

It is helpful to reflect on particular ways and mannerisms, things said or sung, words that create a treasured memory. It could be words from their favourite song, poem or story. Simple words or phrases your loved one liked to say.

You may select those personal words that reflect your feelings (always loved), your wishes or desires for your loved one (in God’s care) or perhaps choose words that reflect the nature or spirit of your beloved (love of my life) (the heart of our family) (a beautiful soul) (my special angel)
