Personalized funeral prayer cards
Prayer cards with their photo on the front and a prayer or verse on the back, in the same design as the program. Part of the Cards ($15) and the Complete set ($39).
Choose a front: photo, cross or dove
The front shows the cover photo and the name. Without a photo, the design’s art stands alone. All 18 designs have a prayer card. Samples use invented people and placeholder photos.
