Most memorial stationery is made of roses and doves. Vale was made for the other kind of life — the shed, the paddock, the boots by the back door, sixty years of early mornings.
Wheat and native grasses against deep slate hold space for his photo and his story, with hand-drawn illustrations of a working life through the pages. It's an order of service that looks like him — because a life built outdoors and with two hands deserves better than clipart.
Everything is sized for Australia — A5 booklet and card, A4 and square announcements — easy to finish on your computer or phone, and ready for any Officeworks to print the next day. Like everything at The Farewell Studio, Vale began as a bespoke design for a real family, and carries that same care.
What's included:
Order of Service booklet — 8 pages, A5, in two complete versions: celebrant-led and religious service
Order of Service card — double-sided A5, for smaller or graveside services
Announcement templates — square for sharing online, A4 for newspaper notices
The Farewell Studio Wording Guide — announcement wording ready to use as written, a plain guide to what goes in an order of service, gentle prompts for telling his story, and suggested readings and music
Step-by-step instructions, written kindly, including how to edit everything on your phone
The details: Instant digital download — nothing is posted. Templates open in free Canva (no paid account needed) and work on phone, tablet or computer. All text, fonts and colours are editable, and the design holds together even with sections removed. Print at home or with any local printer; recommended paper stocks and print settings are included. For your family's personal use.
Do I need design skills? — None at all. If you can write a message on your phone, you can finish this. Click any text and type over it; add photos with a tap.
Will it print properly in Australia? — Yes. Everything is A5 and A4, print-ready for Officeworks, Kwik Kopy, Snap or any local printer, usually same-day or next-day.
How quickly will I have it? — The download arrives the moment payment clears. Most families finish the booklet the same evening.
What if I get stuck? — Email me. I'm a small, one-person studio so I can't always reply in the moment, but I check often, and families preparing for a service always come first.
