What size is a memorial bookmark?
Memorial bookmarks are typically 2.75 inches wide by 7 inches tall — a slim, portrait-format card that fits in a Bible, book, or wallet. This size exports as a PDF that prints two bookmarks per Letter-size sheet, which you cut apart after printing. Some designs are slightly shorter (2.5×6.5 in) but all fall within this general range.
Choosing remembrance text for a memorial bookmark
The text on a memorial bookmark should be brief — one to four lines that capture something meaningful about the person. Common choices include a favorite verse, a short phrase about remembrance, or a line about the person's spirit and values. We do not pre-fill any text — what you type is entirely your own. Keep the text readable at the small bookmark scale.
