Papilio Lifecastings & Personalised Memories

Life-, or bodycasting, is a life size replica of any bodypart. It creates a long lasting memory of your loved ones and will remain a visible and touchable memory of times past.

It is done in three steps. Firstly the mould is being created. This is usually done with a thick gel-like liquid called alginate. It dries off quickly within minutes and turns into a rubbery substance, which creates the mould. In some cases the mould needs to be supported by a plaster jacket to ensure it doesn't loose its form when released from the body part and filled with plaster. Finally the cured casting is getting removed from the mould and is left to dry.

We offer lifecastings in the comfort of your own home, in hospital or any other place of your convenience. Please get in touch for further information, and ensure that the hospital staff is involved from the very beginning.
