Memorial cards are small printed keepsakes given to family and friends after someone has passed away. They usually include a photo, full name, dates, and a short poem, prayer, verse, quote or personal message.
Funeral memorial cards are often handed out at funerals, wakes, memorial services and celebrations of life. They can also be posted to relatives and friends who could not attend the service. Many people keep them in a wallet, purse, Bible, prayer book, photo album or memory box.
They are also known as funeral cards, remembrance cards, memorial keepsake cards, prayer cards, memorial wallet cards or in loving memory cards.
Different families use memorial cards in different ways. Some want a small wallet keepsake, some want a larger A6 card, and others prefer a folded card with more space for poems, prayers and extra photos.
Wallet memorial cards are 85 x 55mm, making them easy to keep in a wallet, purse, Bible, prayer book, photo album or memory box.
A6 memorial cards are 148 x 105mm and give more space for a larger photo, poem, prayer, quote or family message.
Folded or 4-sided memorial cards give you extra room for a front cover, inside poem or prayer, family message and additional photo.
Simple guide: choose wallet cards if you want something small and easy to carry. Choose A6 or folded memorial cards if you want more room for wording, poems, prayers or multiple photos.

Laminated memorial cards are a good choice if you want the cards to feel more durable and keepsake-like.
Our memorial cards are printed on premium 350gsm card, with optional lamination finishes including smooth matt, gloss and velvet. Lamination can help protect the printed card and gives it a more finished, professional feel.
A smooth, understated finish that feels soft and respectful. Good for modern and traditional memorial card designs.
A shinier finish that can make photos and colours look brighter. Good for photo-led memorial cards.
A soft-touch premium finish for families who want a more luxury keepsake feel.
Our personalised memorial cards can be printed with a favourite photo of your loved one, their name, dates and your chosen wording. You can keep the design simple and traditional, or choose a floral, religious, modern or nature-inspired style.
Add a favourite photograph to make the card feel personal and meaningful.
Include the person’s full name, birth and passing dates, and a short tribute message.
Add a memorial card poem, religious prayer, Bible verse, quote or family message.
A thoughtful printed keepsake: personalised memorial cards are more meaningful than plain generic cards because they include the person’s photo, wording and design style. They can also match the rest of your funeral stationery.
A memorial card usually includes the person’s name, photo, birth and passing dates, and a short poem, prayer, verse, quote or personal message.
In Loving Memory of [Name]
[Date of Birth] – [Date of Passing]
Forever loved, always remembered and held close in our hearts.
Keep it readable: for wallet-size memorial cards, short wording is usually best. If you want a longer poem or prayer, choose A6 size or a folded 4-sided card so the design does not feel cramped.
Many families choose to include a poem, prayer, religious verse or short quote on a memorial card. The best wording is usually something that feels true to the person being remembered.
Your life was a blessing,
your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words,
and missed beyond measure.
We hold you close within our hearts,
and there you shall remain.
To walk with us throughout our lives,
until we meet again.
May the Lord hold you in His care,
and may His light shine upon you.
Rest in peace, forever loved
and remembered in our prayers.

A simple guide is to order enough memorial cards for funeral guests, close family, friends who could not attend, and a few spare keepsake copies.
