Each element of the program is designed to offer comfort, foster connection, and create lasting memories that honour the life and relationships of each person in our care. Participation is guided with respect, and personalised support. All staff offer and participate in support memory making.

All the programs below are offered free of charge to clients and families of GV Hospice. If you are interested in completing this, please get in touch with our office on 03 5822 0068.

Hand Casting

Hand casting is the process of using a skin-safe molding material to create an exact replica of holding hands. This is available for all clients with options including 2 hands or more.

This cast creates a lasting 3D sculpture of the hands as a tangible keepsake that lasts a lifetime. Clients are welcome to complete this in their own time or with the support of staff at GV Hospice.

Biography

The biography program is offered to capture the stories and legacy of loved ones. A kit is available containing a recorder where families are able to record their loved ones and with the help of GV Hospice staff converting this into a biography.

The recordings are placed onto a USB as a keepsake of their voice.

Precious Touch

Precious Touch is a business started by Gail Johnson which creates memorable keepsakes in the form of jewellery through a finger, hand or foot print.

GV Hospice take an impression of the print which only takes 10 minutes. They are posted to Gail who holds a copy of it there forever and if you decide to get a piece of jewellery, all you need to do is get in contact with her.

All jewellery options are available on her website to view. All jewellery items are at your own expense.
