Before booking, we kindly ask families to consider the following important points.
These help ensure a smooth, gentle, and respectful process during an emotionally delicate moment:
PERMISSIONS AND ACCESS
Confirm that the hospital, hospice, morgue, or funeral home allows lifecasting services on-site.
Written permission may be required, and some facilities have specific time windows or policies.
COORDINATION WITH STAFF
Please notify the attending nurse, hospice team, funeral director, or facility coordinator in advance.
Their cooperation is essential to ensure privacy, timing, and a peaceful environment.
CONDITION OF THE BODY
For post-passing lifecasts, the condition of the hands or other areas to be cast can be affected by medical treatments, swelling, or natural changes after death.
The sooner the service can be performed, the better the quality and detail of the final impression.
TIMING AND AVAILABILITY
Lifecasting is time-sensitive. Advance notice helps us prepare and ensures that an artist is available promptly.
For casts done shortly after passing, coordinating within the first hours is ideal.
FAMILY PRESENCE AND WISHES
Families may choose to be present, or they may prefer privacy. Please let us know your preference so we can honour it respectfully.
CULTURAL, RELIGIOUS, OR PERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Some traditions have guidelines surrounding the handling of the body. If applicable, please inform us so we can work respectfully within those boundaries.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
If you would like to cast joined hands, incorporate personal items, or create a specific pose, this should be discussed beforehand to ensure feasibility and dignity.
Every lifecast is a tribute; an intimate, lasting expression of love and remembrance.
We are here to guide you gently through each step, ensuring the process is handled with care, compassion, and deep respect for your loved one’s memory.
