What is a memorial tribute standee?
A memorial tribute standee (also called a photo memorial board or tribute display) is a large-format printed panel featuring a portrait photo, the person's name and life dates, and a short tribute. It is placed on an easel or display stand at the funeral, memorial service, or reception. The printed display creates a dignified visual focal point for the gathering and becomes a keepsake for the family after the service.
Choosing the right photo for a memorial display
Choose a high-resolution portrait — a clear, recent photo where the person is recognizable and well-lit. For a large-format print (18×24 in or larger), the photo should ideally be at least 300 dpi at the intended print size. A photo taken from a phone in good lighting often works well. The template frames the portrait automatically — you can also reposition and resize it within the frame.
