What is the difference between a memorial card and a bookmark?

A folding memorial card opens like a small card and holds a photograph, the name and dates, and a full verse or prayer. A memorial bookmark is a single slim laminated strip, 55mm by 175mm, meant to be kept in a prayer book or a novel. Many families order both from the one design.

Do I need wallet cards as well as memorial cards?

You do not need both, but a lot of families order a small number of wallet cards for the people who want to carry one every day. They are credit card size and laminated, so they stand up to being in a wallet or purse for years.

Are acknowledgement cards the same as thank you cards?

They are two names for the same thing — the card the family sends after the funeral to thank the people who offered sympathy, sent flowers or Mass cards, or helped in the days around the death. We print them to match your memorial card.

Can all four be printed from the one design?

Yes. Once your photograph and wording are set for one card we can carry the same artwork across the folding card, bookmark, wallet card and acknowledgement card, so everything the family hands out matches.
