It’s always sad when a loved one passes away, and it is natural to feel comforted by being able to keep something of them close to us. It doesn’t matter whether it is an elderly grandparent or a sleeping baby (or anyone in between), I can help you create a beautiful keepsake to remember them by.
If you have lost someone recently, time is of the essence to get the prints collected. You can purchase the print kit on its own and there is no obligation to order jewellery, you can decide that later.
Prints can be taken in different ways, if you like the moulded style handmade jewellery, you will need to collect the prints using our two part moulding compound. We have tried many of these over the years and the brand we use is a Japanese brand that we find the absolute best for collecting small details.
We also have a low mess, ink strip fingerprint kit. These use a special dry ink that doesn't create a mess and doesn't overload the print as wet inks can do. These dry ink kits give far better prints than wet ink kits in our experience. If you are not sure which to get, you can add the dry ink kit to the moulded print kit at a reduced price.
Usually the funeral directors will be happy to collect the prints for you, my kits are very simple to use and come with full step by step instructions, but if you would like me to speak to the person looking after your loved one then I would be happy to do so, just get them to drop me an email.
For an adult or older child, you can choose whether you would like to have fingerprints or a full hand or foot print. For young children and babies, I recommend a full hand or foot print as they often do not have detailed fingerprints.
If you already have prints that were taken in the hospital or at home, I can use these to make a special charm for you. They can be scanned or photographed and emailed to me or you can send me a black and white photocopy through the post, I would never ask you to send me the originals. Choose any charm from the hand and footprints range for your special keepsake.
