I did exacly this, on iPhone you can have a separate background for the startup/passwd screen and the normal screen with all the icons. So I get to have my cute nephew normally, and contact details on the locked screen.
I think went quick and dirty and wrote the details on paper and took a pic with the iPhone to just get the picture on the phone fast. It is just for me or for emergency, so doesn't have to be some pretty font.
