Our Books of Remembrance provide a simple and lasting memorial that you can see displayed in glass cabinets in the Book of Remembrance building.
The hand-made books are bound in black Morocco leather with pages of goatskin parchment. The inscriptional work is done by lettering craftsmen. Each volume has a page for each day of the year, and the pages are turned daily.

Adding an entry to a book
You can decide which date the entry is to appear, whether it’s your loved ones birthday, anniversary or their date of death, whatever date is special for you. To ensure that the entry appears for the first anniversary, please order within six months of the date of death.
You can have two lines of text, or a longer entry, with optional floral and non-floral emblems or coats of arms.
