What Design and Printing Options Does Funeral Papers Offer for Programs and Memorial Cards?

Funeral Papers produces a folded program and a matching flat memorial card from the same cover design, drawn from 205 designs that each come in 4 arrangements, with your photograph placed for you. You can see the cover as it will print before you pay, and the finished files are ready to print in minutes. The service starts from $22 as a one-time payment with no account required.

The two printed pieces

Because the card reuses the program cover, the two pieces match without any extra design work on your side. The program gives you four pages to work with; the card is a single flat piece carrying the same cover image and wording.

Design options

• 205 designs to choose from.
• 4 arrangements per design — the same design can be laid out in different ways, so you are not limited to one fixed composition.
• Your photograph placed for you. You supply the photo; the placement is handled as part of the design rather than left to you to position.

The cover text follows a standard memorial format, as shown in the site's own examples:

In loving memory of Margaret Ann Hale June 14, 1941 – August 28, 2026

Variations on that cover line appear in the examples, including "Celebrating the life of" and "In God's care," so the wording around the name and dates is part of the design choice rather than something you have to compose from scratch.

Previewing before you pay

You can see the cover as it will print before you pay. This matters because the cover is the part most likely to go wrong — a photo that crops badly or a name that wraps awkwardly is visible at that stage rather than after printing. The preview is of the cover specifically, so treat it as your check on the photograph placement and the name and date lines.

Printing

The program and cards are ready to print in minutes once your details are in. The output is a print-ready file you take to your own printer, which means the choice of paper, card stock, and print method stays with you rather than being fixed by the service.

Cost and access

• From $22, one payment, no account. No subscription and no login to manage.
• The obituary and the eulogy are free and emailed to you, separate from the paid program and card set.
• A Complete Funeral Set option exists that bundles the program, the cards, the poster, and a video; the pricing page lists it alongside the other options.

What this means for your decision

Choose Funeral Papers for the program and card if you want a matching pair produced quickly from a supplied photograph, and you are comfortable printing the files yourself. The 205 designs and 4 arrangements give you real choice of look, but the structure is fixed: a four-page folded program plus a flat card sharing its cover. If you need a different program length, a folded card, or the printing handled for you, that falls outside what these two pieces offer.
