A memorial star map, explained
A memorial star map shows the night sky exactly as it stood over a place that mattered — the town they were born in, the home you shared, the hospital window — at a moment you choose. It is quieter than a portrait and more personal than a verse: a scientifically real artifact of their time under the sky. Families display them at celebrations of life, print them into service programs, or frame them beside photographs at home.
In time for the service
Because the files arrive within minutes and print at any local print shop the same day, a memorial map is one of the few meaningful memorial pieces that can be ready inside funeral timelines. The vector PDF prints crisp at any size — easel display, program insert, or framed keepsake — and every standard frame size is included.
Choosing the moment
There is no wrong choice. Some families choose the night they were born — "first light." Some choose a wedding night, the night a child arrived, or a night everyone remembers being together. Some choose the night they passed, and find comfort that the sky kept a record. Edits are free forever, so the inscription and even the moment can change as the family decides.
Common questions
The service is this week — will it arrive in time?
Yes. Files arrive within minutes of ordering, and any FedEx Office or print shop can print them the same day — in time for a celebration of life, easel display, or program insert.
Which date should we choose?
Families choose differently: the night they were born, a wedding night, or the night they passed. Some print two — "first light" and "last light." Edits are free if you change your mind.
Is the map astronomically accurate?
Yes — every map is computed from the HYG star catalog (8,920 stars to magnitude 6.5), with the moon phase and naked-eye planets placed for your exact minute and coordinates. You can verify it against any planetarium app; see our accuracy page.
What exactly do I get?
Instant digital downloads: a vector PDF that prints crisp at any size, plus 300 DPI PNGs in every standard frame size (11×14″, 16×20″, 18×24″, 50×70 cm). All sizes are included with every purchase.
What if I make a typo or want to change the style later?
Edits are free, forever. Your order page lets you change any detail and re-render all files at no charge.
How do I print it?
Any print shop, photo lab, or poster site accepts these files as-is — FedEx Office can print one within the hour. Our print guide walks you through the options.
