Memorial & tribute design
When time is short, we carry the details.
Most families reach us in the days right before a service. You don’t need to have it figured out send the photos, dates, the order of service and anything that sounds like them, and we’ll shape it into something your family is proud to hand out.
We honor every faith and family tradition. You proof directly with the designer, we prepare files for your printer or funeral home, and we keep everything on file for reprints and anniversaries.
- Funeral programs & orders of service
- Tribute & legacy books
- Prayer & memorial cards
- Easel posters & banners
- Photo restoration for print
- Thank-you & acknowledgment cards

Questions
Good to know before you start.
Don’t see yours? Send a message or call you’ll hear from a real person.
Do I need to have everything figured out first?
Not at all. Most people start with a few photos, some dates and a feeling for how they want it to look. We’ll help shape the wording, layout and direction from there.
Can you work to a tight funeral timeline?
Yes add your service date in the form and we’ll tell you right away what’s possible. Short timelines are common for memorial work and we plan around them.
Can you design for our culture, faith or language?
Yes. Tell us about the traditions, scriptures, prayers, colors or languages that matter to your family, and we’ll design around them respectfully.
What will I actually receive?
High-resolution, print-ready PDF files set up with the correct bleed and margins for your printer or funeral home, plus digital versions sized for sharing by text, email or social media.
How do revisions work?
After the first design, we refine it with you in focused rounds until it feels right. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included, so there are no surprises.
Do you only work with clients in Dayton?
No. We’re based in Dayton, Ohio and work with families and businesses across the country. Everything can be handled by phone, email and online proofs.
Is there a less expensive option than custom?
Yes — our Etsy template shop has editable designs you can personalize yourself and download instantly.
