- 1
Print page one for the pastor
Hand the readings sheet to the officiating pastor or family member who is choosing scriptures for the service.

Print page two and write the name, dates, and service details by hand — or open the PDF in a free editor and type before printing.

Print on cardstock for keepsakes
65–110 lb white or ivory cardstock makes the cards feel substantial. Cut along the dotted lines.

Slip a memorial card into each funeral program for guests to take home.

Mail one to the family afterward
A handwritten card with a printed memorial insert remains one of the most treasured forms of Christian condolence.
