Funeral Program or Memorial Card for a Short Service

InMemoryStudio ·

Choose by the amount of information guests need during the gathering. A long service sequence and biography may need a booklet, while a brief tribute can fit a card.

A workable approach

Use a program for sequence plus life story. Use a card for a portrait plus one short message. Both can be keepsakes.

Make it fit your situation

Do not select a smaller format merely to save space if it makes essential information unreadable.

A service with several readings may need space that a keepsake card cannot offer. Conversely, a short gathering does not require a booklet simply because that is the familiar format.

Before you finish

Make the decision before editing the final design, then record it where the family can find it. A clear owner and a saved final version reduce last-minute confusion. Keep the working notes separate from the tribute guests will read.

Next step
