Services

Programs, stationery & keepsakes

The order of service, the thank-you notes, and what people carry home.

Printers and stationers produce the service program, memorial cards, guest books, and the acknowledgment (thank-you) cards that follow. Keepsake makers work longer timelines: memorial jewelry holding a small portion of ashes, glass art, quilts from a closet of shirts, portrait commissions. None of it is urgent except the program — and the program is one of the things people keep for decades, so it's worth a careful proofread of names and dates.

When you’ll need them

Programs need 24–72 hours before the service. Thank-you cards go out in the weeks after. Keepsakes have no deadline at all — some are better a year later.

What it typically costs

Printed programs typically $100–$400 for a standard run; memorial cards similar. Cremation jewelry from about $50 to several hundred; commissioned keepsakes vary widely.

Typical U.S. ranges, for orientation only — prices vary widely by region and provider. Always ask for an itemized price list.

Questions worth asking

  • What's your real turnaround, and can we proof before printing?
  • For ash keepsakes: how much is needed, and how is it handled and returned?
  • Can you match the program to photos and readings we already have?
