All portraits are funded by our generous donors. We believe that every parent should have a beautiful picture to remember their child by. We also believe that parents should not have to shoulder the financial burden of memorialisation on top of suffering a loss, which is why our service is free for all bereaved parents in Australia.

Possum Portraits' resident artists draw all of our portraits by hand, on the basis of reference photographs supplied by bereaved parents. Each portrait is co-designed by parents and their artist, to make sure it fulfils parents' commemorative wishes. All portraits come with a white, museum grade mat board, ready to be framed and hung.

Bereaved parents supply the photographic reference pictures for their Possum Portrait. In close collaboration with our artists, parents decide on the best way of adapting their chosen picture(s) into a drawing. Once the drawing is complete, it is posted out to parents free of charge in the mail.
