Editable Funeral Program Templates — Print Memorial Pamphlets

Memorial cards are a touching way to honor a loved one’s life—but they don’t have to be expensive. With printable templates and smart choices, you can create meaningful, professional-looking cards without overspending.

1. Use a Printable Template Instead of a Designer

Custom-designed memorial cards often cost $100–$300 or more. Instead, you can purchase a printable card template and customize it yourself using Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

Instant download
Full creative control
Reuse for other family members

Estimated Savings: $150+

2. Use Our Customization Service (Optional)

If you’re not comfortable editing files, we offer a quick and affordable customization service. You send us the name, dates, photo, and a few details—we handle the rest and return a formatted PDF, ready to print or share.

Fast turnaround
No design knowledge needed
Less than half the cost of custom design agencies

3. Avoid Funeral Home Printing Fees

Funeral homes often mark up printed materials significantly. Instead, use our files at Staples, FedEx, Office Depot, or even a quality home printer. Our templates are optimized for:

8.5″ × 11″ paper
Borderless print layout
Clean folds and alignment

Pro Tip: Use 28 lb or heavier matte cardstock for a premium look.

4. Combine Memorial Cards with Funeral Programs

Save even more by using a bi-fold program that includes all the memorial card content, plus the service details, order of events, and photo collage.

This eliminates the need for two separate handouts—and often looks more professional.

5. Offer a Digital Version Instead

Many families now offer a digital memorial card by:

Emailing a PDF to loved ones
Uploading it to a memorial website or obituary
Displaying it on a screen at the service

This option avoids all printing costs while still honoring your loved one.

Final Thought: Elegance Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive

Our goal is to help families create beautiful, affordable funeral materials without the stress or high price tags.
