A prayer card is typically used as a carrying memento carried in a purse or wallet. Memorial cards provide a photo of the deceased on the front along with their name and date of birth through date of death. The photo can be optional so it is not a necessity and does not have to be included at all. The purpose of a prayer is to carry it with you and be able to pray for the person on the prayer card. It is typically a way of remembrance or praying for the deceased and surviving family members, hence the name.

Prayer cards are distributed at a religious or faith based funeral or memorial service. It is not necessary but certain denominations such as Catholics, do include them in a funeral mass. Back in the day, prayer cards needed to only be created and printed professionally but today, our technology provides us a do-it-yourself method that saves time and money.

You will also need to cut them to separate if you use your own 8.5” x 11” paper. Alternatively, you can use our  perforated prayer card paper that you can run through your home laser or inkjet printer which aligns perfectly with any of our prayer card templates.

The pouches are individual ones that you can place each card into and then run it through a laminator to seal the card and preserve it for a long, lasting keepsake item.
