A memorial service is a gift for the living as much as a remembrance for the loved one now gone. With Paperless Postā€™s online funeral service invitations and our straightforward tools that simplify the process, itā€™s easy to put together a beautifully-designed tribute to the life youā€™re commemorating.

Memorial service invitation templates

As you put together the details of your event, rest assured that you can find an online memorial service invitation from Paperless Post that suits the unique needs of the ceremony youā€™re hosting. Our templates for funeral service invitations balance traditional and modern elements, bringing tasteful motifs and timeless imagery to our thoughtful design. Youā€™ll find elegant bouquets, contemplative scenes of nature, and understated patterns that pair appropriately with traditional memorial wording.

With Paperless Post, you have options for extending a gracious request for guests to join you and pay tribute. In addition to our memorial service invitations, our sympathy cards offer well-crafted and sincere designs that can be customized into an invitation. You can also upload your own design and add a special photo of the deceased in remembrance. While browsing our memorial service templates, our filters let you search by design, color, and price so you can find a funeral invitation thatā€™s the right fit for your needs.

How do you make a funeral invitation?

Our online design tools let you edit the text and visuals of your memorial service invitation. That includes choosing a matching online envelope, liner, stamp, and backdrop for your invitation.

To get in touch with invitees, use the online address book to look through past contacts, or sync it to your address book. Our RSVP tracker makes it easy to see whoā€™s confirmed, as well as whoā€™s yet to open your invitation. They might be in need of a little reminder, which you can easily send from your computer or through our mobile app. The invitation page is the perfect place to communicate all the important details to your guests. Youā€™ll be able to include maps, directions, important notes, or a link to a charity for donations in lieu of flowers if you wish.

How do you word a memorial service invitation?

Keeping the wording for your funeral invitation clear and concise is a straightforward way to provide event information, but adding a sentimental phrase or affectionate message offers a personalized element that guests will appreciate. A simple note about connecting with loved ones while sharing memories is a welcoming way to invite guests to pay their respects with you. An example invitation could read something like ā€œThe [name] family invites you to honor the life of [name of the deceased] on [date] at [location]. Weā€™ll be sharing memories and stories of a life well-lived. Please join us for a reception immediately following at [location].ā€

If you have been invited to a memorial service and cannot attend, sending the host a sympathy card is a thoughtful gesture. Our heartfelt suggestions for sympathy card wording give you plenty of inspiration for finding the right words.
