Storage for Sentimental Items

To protect your sentimental items, organising your storage is paramount. We always recommend carefully wrapping fragile items. Storing large furniture items vertically helps to maximise space. Packing heavy items at the bottom of boxes helps to prevent damage to any fragile items. Here are some ways you might categorise your loved one’s belongings:

• Clothing: everyday wear, formal wear, seasonal clothing
• Sentimental Items: photographs, letters and cards, keepsakes and mementoes
• Kitchenware: cookware, utensils, dishware
• Furniture: large pieces (tables, chairs, etc.), small furniture items
• Decor and Artwork: paintings, decorative items, sculptures
• Bedding and Linens: bed sheets, towels, blankets and comforters
• Sports and Outdoor Equipment: sporting gear, camping equipment, outdoor furniture
• Personal Items: toiletries, jewellery, personal accessories
• Children’s Items: toys, baby gear, children’s clothing
• Tools and Equipment: hand tools, power tools, garden equipment
• Collectables: hobby-related items, collectable items
• Medical and Health Items: medications, medical equipment, health-related documents
• Vehicles and Accessories: car-related items, biking equipment, outdoor gear
• Miscellaneous: items that don’t fit into specific categories, odds and ends

By addressing the practical aspects of self storage after death, we aim to provide a secure space for belongings and peace of mind during this period.
