Custom Photo Caskets: Made to Order Designs
These custom casket lids are made to order and created individually for each family. You can choose photos, a collage layout, or one of our themed designs, and we prepare the artwork specifically for your loved one.
You can choose from:
- A 4-photo Signature Lid
- Or a 20-photo Collage Lid
- Scenic or themed designs (see gallery below) – can be personalised with a name or quote
Signature Photo Lid
(4 images)
A simple, clean design using up to four high-quality photos. Ideal for families who prefer a more minimal look. Choose the images for the lid along with a solid background colour for the sides and ends.
Photo Collage Lid
(20 images)
Tell their story with up to twenty meaningful photos of the people, places, hobbies or moments that mattered most. These images are arranged across twenty zones on the lid, with a solid background colour choice for the sides and ends.
How Are These Custom Caskets Different From Our In-Stock Range?
Custom Casket Designs
Each custom lid is a one-off print, created specifically for your loved one.
These are printed on a white base, which gives a crisp, clear finish and allows for full personalisation, names, dates, quotes, or photos that hold special meaning.
Every custom lid is printed individually, making it a unique piece.
Printing takes three working days from final artwork sign-off, and the custom design service is not available on public holidays.
Your funeral director will guide you with timing and next steps.

How it works
- Choose your design style (Signature, Collage, or Themed).
- Speak to your funeral director about your preferred design.
- They'll send the photos or details through on your behalf.
- We create the artwork and a 3D digital proof showing all angles of the casket, and send this to your funeral director.
- Once the proof is approved, the lid is printed (three working days) and becomes part of the completed casket supplied to your funeral director.
All custom orders and approvals are coordinated through your funeral director.

Can we print the entire casket?
We only print the lid. The casket base is natural kraft cardboard and stays as it is. The lid is printed before it’s assembled, and this gives the best result. Printing the lid only also suits the shape and style of the casket.
