Personalised star map

Memorial star map

A quiet way to remember someone: the stars above a day that belonged to them, with their name and the years of their life.

Real star positions for any place, date and time. Design for free; downloading the print files needs an Etsy order.

Watercolour star map poster titled Forever in the Stars, Robert Miller 1958 to 2025, Boston, 11 April 1958, night blue fading to soft lavender
Boston, 11 April 1958, the day of birth: night blue fading to lavender, details in the corners.

Choosing the day

The day they were born

A gentle choice that celebrates a life rather than its end, as in the example.

A day you shared

A wedding, a holiday, the last birthday together: the sky of a memory that is yours.

The day they passed

Some families prefer it, often with the words “Forever in the stars” or “Until we meet again”.

Words for your poster

Title, subtitle and message: three ideas to start from, all editable in the studio.

Forever in the Stars

Robert Miller 1958 – 2025

Always with us, always above us

In Loving Memory

Grandma Rose

Under the same stars, forever

Until We Meet Again

Dad · 1949 – 2024

As a sympathy gift

If you're making it for a grieving friend, ask a family member for the date and place, or use a date that is already public, such as the birth date in the notice.

The files download as soon as the order is placed, so a print can be ready for a memorial service even at short notice.
