In the realm of life, loss is an inevitable reality that many must face. For Helen, the mother of 19-year-old Andrina, this loss was both tragic and profound. Andrina’s life was cut short due to a motorbike accident, leaving her family and friends in heartbreak. However, amidst this sorrow, Helen’s determination to honour her daughter’s memory is a story of love, resilience, and the power of personal tributes. In this article, we recount the process of creating a custom funeral order of service, photo boards, and other stationery that encapsulated Andrina’s vibrant spirit and passions.
Remembering Andrina: A Life of Passion
Andrina was not just a young woman; she was a free spirit who adored life. Her love for fast bikes, the film The Fast and the Furious, and the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms reflected her personality. These elements became vital in shaping the design of her funeral order of service.
The Design Process
When Helen approached us to create the funeral stationery, we understood the importance of infusing Andrina’s personality into the designs. The custom-designed order of service for her funeral was a collaborative effort that celebrated her interests and passions. We incorporated:
• The Fast and the Furious Font: To reflect Andrina’s love for the film and its exhilarating themes.
• Cherry Blossoms: Symbolising the beauty and fragility of life, these flowers represented Andrina’s gentle spirit.
• Purple Accents: A colour that Andrina cherished, adding a personal touch to the overall design.
This careful selection of design elements resulted in a beautifully crafted order of service for funerals that resonated with Andrina’s memory.
The Funeral Service
On the day of the funeral, the custom order of service booklet, along with memory boards featuring photos of Andrina, were displayed prominently. Family and friends gathered to pay their respects, and each element of the stationery contributed to a meaningful tribute that celebrated Andrina’s life.
Creating Printed Signs and Memory Boards
In addition to the order of service, we produced large photo boards that showcased Andrina’s life through images. These boards served not only as memorials but as a canvas of memories that told her story. The printed signs became a focal point at the service, allowing guests to reminisce and share in the joy that Andrina brought to their lives.
A New Chapter: Graduation Day
Months after Andrina’s passing, Helen decided to continue her studies in honour of her daughter. Despite the heart-wrenching circumstances, she pursued her degree with the determination to create a legacy for Andrina. This journey culminated in her graduation day, a milestone that Andrina would have been proud to witness.
A Special Request for a Graduation Board
In preparation for her graduation, Helen returned to us with a heartfelt request. She wanted to create a new memory board that echoed the design we had used for Andrina’s funeral. This time, she requested the board in A3 size, making it more suitable for her graduation ceremony.
We replicated the original design, including:
• The Fast and the Furious Fonts
• Cherry Blossoms
• Andrina’s Picture
On graduation day, Helen placed the board on an empty seat next to her during the ceremony. When it was time to collect her diploma, she held the board close, proudly displaying it to the audience. This act of remembrance turned a day of celebration into a poignant tribute to her beloved daughter.
The Impact of Personal Tributes
Helen’s decision to carry the memory board during her graduation exemplifies the profound impact of personalised tributes. It served as a reminder that Andrina was with her in spirit, and that their bond transcended even the greatest challenges.
A Lasting Relationship with Our Clients
At Orchid Memories, we believe in creating meaningful connections with our clients, especially during their most challenging times.

Custom Funeral Order of Service: No Design is Off the Table
One of the most rewarding aspects of our printing service is the ability to create truly custom designs. We understand that every individual is unique, and their memorial should reflect their life, passions, and personality. Whether it’s a specific colour scheme, theme, or personal artwork, we work closely with families to ensure their vision comes to life.
Options for Personalisation
When designing an order of service for funerals, we offer a range of options, including:
• Incorporating Personal Artwork: As seen with Andrina’s story, using personal images adds a significant touch to the service.
• Custom Fonts and Layouts: We can match the fonts and styles that resonate with the deceased’s personality.
• Unique Colour Schemes: Families can choose colours that reflect their loved one’s preferences or character.
The Importance of Commemoration
Creating an order of service for funerals is not merely a task; it is an essential part of the grieving process. Personalised stationery helps families honour their loved ones in a way that is deeply meaningful. It creates a space for reflection and celebration, allowing guests to share in the memory of the deceased.
