About paying

Price questions

When do we pay?

After we've talked and confirmed by email what's included and the price. You pay when you decide to go ahead, before we start writing.

Can relatives order their own copies?

Yes. Extra copies are £35 each (£55 for the Heirloom book), and anyone in the family can order them, now or years from now.

Do you deliver outside the UK?

We're starting with UK delivery. If family abroad would like a copy, ask us and we'll quote the postage.

Which edition should we choose?

The Family pack is the best value if several households would like a copy. If you have a funeral coming up, start with the memory booklet; its price comes off the full book later. Not sure? Choose "Not sure yet" when you start, and we'll help.
