At DisciplePress, we care deeply about your experience. We provide not just high-quality printing services but also a supportive environment where you can create a fitting tribute to your loved one.

Understanding the Memorial Bookmark

A memorial bookmark is a small, printed keepsake that is handed out at funerals, memorial services, or celebration of life events. It’s often designed with a picture of the deceased, a favorite quote, a poem, or a prayer. But the design is entirely up to you.

Creating a meaningful tribute for your loved one is an important part of the healing process. We offer Memorial Bookmarks, Prayer Cards and Saint Prayer Cards to help you create meaningful tributes.

Memorial bookmarks are a tangible reminder of the person who passed away. They can be placed in a book, a wallet, or framed as a keepsake. They serve as a constant reminder of the person’s life and the memories shared.

The size of our memorial bookmarks is 2.5″x8.5″, a perfect size to keep close. They are printed on sturdy Matte or Glossy Card Stock of 130lb Cover Weight. Or you can also choose to have them laminated for added durability.

We offer the option to add a hole and a tassel, with both gold and silver tassels available. And with pricing as low as $0.57 each, they are an affordable way to share memories of your loved one with friends and family.

With our same-day printing service, orders placed before 12pm CST Monday-Friday print and ship on the same day. And orders over $50 qualify for free FedEx 2-day shipping.

Choosing the Right Design

Designing a memorial bookmark involves making several decisions. The first one being whether you want to design it yourself or let our team do it for you. If you choose to design it yourself, you can use our online customization tool to replace stock photos with your photos and placeholder text with your text.

If you prefer us to customize it for you, you can simply submit your text and photos after checkout. We will set up your design and email you a proof, usually within a few hours. You can request as many changes as needed until you are fully satisfied with the design.

When choosing a design, consider what would best represent your loved one. This could be a favorite color, a beloved hobby, or a cherished photo. Our design gallery offers a range of themes to choose from, including angel-themed, nature-themed, and faith-based designs.

Remember, this is a personal tribute to your loved one. So take your time and choose a design that feels right. And if you need help at any stage, feel free to reach out. We are here to assist you.

Completing the Design with Text

Once you have chosen the visual design for your bookmark, you will need to add text. This can include the name of the deceased, dates of birth and death, a short obituary, a favorite quote, a poem, or a prayer.

We’re committed to supporting you through this difficult time with meaningful memorial resources. We offer Saint Prayer Cards, Folded Memorial Cards and Large Memorial Cards to help you create meaningful tributes.

When choosing what to write, think about what would best reflect the person’s life and the impact they had on others. You may want to include a personal message that speaks to your relationship with them.

Our collection of funeral poems and memorial quotes can be a helpful resource if you are struggling to find the right words. And remember, there are no right or wrong choices. This is a deeply personal process, and the most important thing is that the bookmark feels true to your loved one’s memory.

If you need help with the text, our custom design services team is ready to assist. They can help you craft the perfect tribute to your loved one.

Choosing the Paper Type

The next step is to choose the type of paper for your bookmark. We offer Matte Card Stock and Glossy Card Stock, both of 130lb Cover Weight. Or you can choose to have them laminated for added durability.

Matte Card Stock has a smooth, non-glare surface, and is a great choice for bookmarks with text-heavy design. Glossy Card Stock has a shiny finish, which can make colors pop and images appear sharper.

Consider the design and the use of the bookmark when choosing the paper type. If you are not sure which one to choose, our paper types guide can help you make the decision.

Adding the Finishing Touches

Once you have chosen the design, text, and paper type, you can add finishing touches to your bookmark. You can choose to add a hole and a tassel, with both gold and silver tassels available. This can add a touch of elegance and make the bookmark even more special.

Remember, this is a tribute to your loved one’s unique life. So feel free to add personal touches that reflect their individuality. Whether it’s a special symbol, a meaningful quote, or a cherished photo, these small details can make a big difference.
