Memorial Books
A memorial book is one of the most treasured keepsakes a family can hold onto after a funeral service. It is a place where guests can sign their names, leave a personal message, and offer their love in writing, giving the family something tangible and lasting to return to long after the day itself has passed. Our memorial books are designed to be as beautiful as they are meaningful, with scenic and elegant covers that can be selected from our collection or customised to reflect your loved one.
These beautiful, scenic memorial books provide an elegant way to collect names and special memories from those attending the funeral service. You can select from one of our collection or ask your Funeral Director about customising the cover to suit your loved one.
Memorial Book Pricing & Guidance
We understand that every family’s needs and budgets are unique, and we are committed to providing transparent guidance to help you make an informed decision.
The cost of a memorial book is influenced by several factors, including the cover design chosen, the level of personalisation, and whether additional copies are required for family members. Some of our packages include a memorial book as standard, and our team can talk you through what is included and what can be added.
If you have questions about pricing or would like to discuss the options that best fit your budget, please reach out to our compassionate team. We are here to listen, support, and provide the clarity you need during this time.
Our Memorial Book Options
Our memorial books are available in a range of beautiful cover designs, from scenic landscapes to botanicals, so families can find something that feels true to their loved one’s spirit. Each book is crafted with care and provides an elegant way to gather the names and memories of those who attend the service.
You can select from our collection or speak with your funeral director about customising the cover to better reflect your loved one. Our team can also incorporate photographs from the day, signatures from those who attended, messages of condolence, and photos of flowers and special tributes, creating a complete record of a day that often passes more quickly than anyone expects.
How to Choose the Right Memorial Book
Choosing a memorial book is a gentle decision, and there is no single right answer. The most important thing is that it feels like the person being remembered and like something the family will genuinely treasure.
A few things worth thinking through as you decide:
- Think about who they were. Did your loved one have a connection to the coast, the bush, or the garden? Was their style classic and understated, or warm and botanical? The cover of the memorial book does not need to be literal, but it can carry something of them in its feeling.
- Think about who will keep it. The memorial book will most likely sit with the immediate family for years to come. Choosing something that feels beautiful and well-made matters, because it will be opened again and again in the months and years that follow.
- Consider whether multiple family members might want a copy. It is common for siblings or close relatives to each want their own memorial book once they see the finished product. Additional copies can be ordered at any time, including after the service.
- Don’t feel you need to decide alone. Our team is here to guide you through the options at whatever pace suits your family. We can show you examples, talk through what is possible, and help you find something that feels right without adding pressure to an already full time.
If you would like to discuss options before making any decisions, please reach out to our team. We are here to listen and to help.
A memorial book is an elegant keepsake placed at the funeral service for guests to sign and leave a personal message. It gives family members a lasting record of who attended and what was shared on the day, and becomes something deeply meaningful to return to in the weeks, months, and years that follow.

That is completely fine. Our team can show you examples from the collection and help you find something that feels right. You do not need to arrive with a clear idea. You just need to reach out, and we will take it from there.
We recommend discussing the memorial book as early as possible during the arrangement process so there is enough time to prepare it well. That said, we understand circumstances vary and will always do our best to accommodate your timeline.
The memorial book is typically placed at the entrance of the service for guests to sign as they arrive or depart. It can also be set up during a viewing or wake.
Yes. Additional copies can be ordered at any time, including well after the service has taken place. It is very common for family members who see the finished book to want their own copy, and we are always happy to arrange that.
Depending on the option you choose, a memorial book can be expanded to include photographs taken on the day, signatures from those who attended, the order of service booklet, messages of condolence received online or in writing, and photos of flowers and special tributes. Families often describe it as a beautiful record of a day that passed too quickly to fully absorb.
