Memorial Cards: Timeless Keepsakes of Love and Remembrance

Memorial cards are small yet powerful mementos created in loving memory of someone who has passed away. These cherished cards are often handed out during funeral or memorial services and serve as a tangible reminder of the person’s life and legacy. Traditionally printed on cardstock and measuring about the size of a prayer card or business card, they typically include the loved one’s name, photo, birth and death dates, and a personal message, prayer, or poem.

Over time, memorial cards have become a meaningful way for families to express love, share memories, and create a personal connection that guests can take with them. Whether tucked into a Bible, framed in a shadow box, or carried in a wallet, they offer comfort long after the service is over. Today’s digital tools now make it easier than ever to design professional-quality memorial cards with templates that can be customized to fit any theme, faith, or personal tribute.
