Memorial Star Map
A quiet way to remember.
A memorial star map shows the night sky as it was on a day that mattered — above a place that held meaning, at a moment worth keeping. Personalised with a name, a date, and a short message that belongs only to you.
It's not loud, and it's not sentimental for its own sake. It's a small, accurate piece of the sky from a night you don't want to forget — printed once, kept somewhere you'll see.
Why a star map for remembrance
The Sky On A Day That Mattered
Astronomically accurate to the date and place — the actual stars from a moment worth remembering.
Quiet Personalisation
Their name, the date, the place, and a short message — kept simple, the way memorial pieces should be.
Made With Care
Museum-grade photo paper, pigment inks, and ready-to-hang frames — chosen to be looked at for many years.
Discreet Delivery
Always ships in plain, unbranded packaging, so nothing arrives unexpected.
Memorial Star Map — your questions answered
Which date should I choose?
Whichever feels most theirs. The most chosen are the day they were born, the day you met them, or a moment you shared that meant something. There's no wrong answer — only the one that feels right when you look at the map.
Can I include a quote, a line of poetry, or their nickname?
Yes. The personal message field accepts up to four lines — a poem, a line they were known for saying, their full name and a date, or just a few words. Keep it as private and as quiet as you want.
Is this an appropriate sympathy or bereavement gift?
For many families, yes — it offers something specific to look at, rather than a generic card. We'd recommend asking what would feel right for the person receiving it, especially if the loss is recent. Some prefer a quiet personal piece; others prefer waiting until later.
Can I order this for myself, in remembrance?
Of course. Many of our memorial star maps are ordered by people for themselves — a parent for a child, a partner for a partner, a sibling for a sibling. There's no need to explain.
How discreet is the delivery?
All our prints arrive in plain protective packaging — no large branded labels, no marketing inserts. If you want anything specific (e.g. delivered to a different address, or held for a specific date), drop us a note in the order.
The same stars, kept exactly that way.
The night they were here, the day they were born, the moment that mattered — printed from the actual sky, framed for as long as you want to look at it.
