Verse Library
It is common to choose a special verse to print on the programs that are handed out at a funeral or memorial service, or on the memorial prayer cards. Families often choose a verse that was meaningful to their loved one or captures the family’s feelings about them.
Memorial Folders
Memorial folders, also known as prayer cards, are a time-honored keepsake for many families. They will normally include a photo of your loved one and a special verse or the obituary. After the service, a prayer card can be kept in a Bible, scrapbook or journal as a remembrance.
Programs
A service program can be a lovely keepsake for you and the guests that attend your loved one’s service. Typically you will see the order of service printed on the program, along with the verse and the text of the obituary. Some families also choose to recognize pallbearers, musicians and others who are assisting with the service.
