The quick answer

Agree the family’s cloth colour and wording, prepare a clear memorial label, and approve a fabric proof before a full print run. Ask the printer to specify material, usable width, quantity, artwork requirements and delivery. No current market prices are asserted here.

Agree what the family wants the cloth to say

Ask whether the family wants a shared printed cloth, a separate memorial label or another form of acknowledgement. Confirm the intended colour, portrait, name, dates and message. Do not assume every family uses the same fabric or the same meaning for a colour.

Prepare an approved label

  1. Choose the portrait with the family and keep an original copy.
  2. Confirm the public name, title, dates and short memorial wording.
  3. Prepare the label in the Aseda tool, keeping text readable and leaving room for the printer’s layout requirements.
  4. Ask a second relative to proofread the names and dates.
  5. Send the artwork to the printer for a material-specific proof before production.

Questions for a fabric printer

  • What fabric and usable width will be supplied?
  • What repeat size and spacing will the artwork have?
  • What file format, dimensions and resolution are required?
  • Can a sample show the portrait detail, lettering and actual colours?
  • What quantity or minimum order applies to this job?
  • What is the itemised price, delivery date and policy for defects or late artwork changes?

Approve the material, not just a screen preview

A screen proof helps catch wording errors, but it cannot demonstrate the feel of the fabric or exactly how colour and detail will appear on it. Ask what physical sample or production proof is available. Keep the approved artwork and quote together so the supplier does not use an earlier version.

Budget from current quotes

This guide does not assert a current per-yard price or a universal minimum order. Obtain written quotes for the same fabric, quantity and finish. Ask whether artwork preparation, delivery and any extra production work are included. FuneralPress label preparation and the fabric supplier’s production charges are separate.

Common questions

Will one label fit every fabric layout?

No. The printer needs to confirm the repeat size, printable area and artwork resolution for the chosen material.

Can I choose the cloth colour from an online guide?

Confirm it with the family and event organisers. The preferred colours may differ between the burial, thanksgiving and other gatherings.
