What is Legacy Likeness?
Legacy Likeness creates personalized face masks and funeral urns for families who have recently lost a loved one.
How Does it Work?
To create our works of art, we need an actual person to take an accurate measurement and create a piece of work. This means that a photograph cannot be used to take measurements from. While we prefer to work with the living, we will also work with families and funeral service providers when someone has passed away.
How Much Does it Cost?
Our scanning services and computer renderings will cost you nothing. You pay when you commission a piece, or ask us to store your data for later use.
How is the Mask or Urn Made?
Getting measured is easy, painless, and fast. A capture session will last around 15 minutes to an hour depending on the anticipated work request. You can come to our studio in Hinsdale, IL, or for a small fee, we’ll come to the comfort of your home. A signature of authorization and release is required prior to having the cast made, and minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
How Do I Commission Work?
Keep in mind that our work cannot be created from a photograph, so time is of the essence. In order to capture a likeness, we will need to have access to an actual person. While we prefer to scan someone prior to passing, we can scan someone who is recently departed. After scanning, you’ll receive an email notifying you when the subject is ready for review. This will usually take place 24-48 hours after a scan. Once you authorize the commission, our system will keep you updated on the progress of your work from start to finish.
