Life Casting
Each hand crafted life cast is created with the most incredible products to ensure your treasures last for decades. So your children can show their children. They are captured on the day with you and from there, they start their journey to a forever keepsake, plus we can make extra copies for Grandparents and family!
When they arrive back to you (which takes about 6-8 weeks) they will be perfected, protected and ready for either a free standing
display, or to be hung on the wall.
The frames are a custom made wooden frame, made by a Manawatu Framer. They include conservation clear UV glass, to ensure protection from harmful rays and in turn, longevity of the pieces.
This glass also provides a greatly reduced reflective surface so keepsakes look crystal clear.
Personalised Plaques, acrylic names and frame enlargements for photos can also be added upon request for an additional charge.
You have a choice of colours for your keepsake; Flat White, Metallic Silver, Antique Silver, Metallic Gold, Antique Gold or Rose Gold.
You will be able to view samples of the frames, colours and plaque options at your appointment.

There are a number of options available for memorial and/or end of life castings. These can either be done while your family member is still here with us, but they can also be done if they have taken their final breath and are resting at peace. I will work in with your Funeral Director to ensure a smooth and peaceful process. You can be there with us, or I can spend the time with them myself.
Please reach out, or ask your Funeral Director to reach out if you need more information.
​From $300.00

Stone Mounts
These are a great option for when your life casting is too large for a frame, or you prefer not to have it framed. They can be a square or round mount, made from the same casting stone as the life casts so are durable and long lasting. They can be painted in black, or one of the signature colours and can either be matching or different to the life casting.
From $25.00
Personalised Metal Plaque
Can be added to either framed or mounted life cast with various colour and font styles available
