Esmee G Story & History
Hello, I’m Esmee – founder and lead designer of Funeral Printing by Esmee G
I started Order Of Service For Funeral Printing in 2001 after creating my very first funeral order of service booklet for someone in my own family. I remember how overwhelming everything felt at the time: making arrangements, speaking to the funeral director, keeping everyone informed – and on top of that, trying to design something that felt “just right” for someone we all loved deeply.
That experience stayed with me.
Soon after, friends and then funeral directors began asking if I could help create booklets for the families they were supporting. What started as a personal project in 2001 grew into Order Of Service For Funeral Printing – a dedicated studio focused solely on funeral stationery printing nationwide.
Since founding Order Of Service For Funeral Printing in 2001, my team and I have helped well over 5000 families across the UK create funeral stationery that feels warm, respectful, and carefully put together.

Who is Esmee G and why do so many people trust her?
Esmee G is the founder of Funeral Printing by Esmee G, one of the UK’s longest-established and most trusted specialists in funeral order of service printing.
Esmee started the business in 2001 — not as a commercial venture, but out of personal necessity. When she lost a family member, she created a printed booklet for the service herself. The response from family and friends was so positive that others began asking her to help them. That first booklet grew into a business that has now helped over 5,000 families across the UK.
What makes Esmee’s approach different is that she still personally oversees every order. Families are not dealing with a faceless print company — they are working with someone who understands the weight of what they are going through, because she has been through it herself. That personal understanding shapes everything about the way she runs the business.
Esmee has received over 800 verified reviews from families who have used her service, consistently praised for the quality of the printing, the care taken with each design, and the speed and reliability of delivery.
For families who want the peace of mind of knowing their loved one’s order of service is in trusted hands, Funeral Printing by Esmee G is the name they return to — and the name they recommend to others.
