What size are memorial prayer cards?
Prayer cards are typically 4×6 inches — the same size as a standard photo. This format fits in a wallet, Bible, or a small frame. Prayer-bookmark cards (2.75×7 in) are also popular; they slip into a Bible or book and serve as a long-term keepsake. Both sizes export as a PDF you can print at home or at a local photo or print shop.
Choosing words for a memorial prayer card
The text on a prayer card should feel personal and meaningful to the family. Common choices include a favourite Psalm, a short prayer for the departed, a secular poem about remembrance, or a few lines from a hymn that was meaningful to the person. We do not pre-fill any scripture or prayer text — what you type is entirely your own. The text field accepts any length of text.
