It’s nine at night and
you need forty more.
Program.Memorial makes print-ready service folders, prayer cards, bookmarks and large-type podium copies — on plain paper, from the printer down the hall, in the ten minutes you actually have. No stock to order. No vendor to call. No license to renew.
The part everyone else gets wrong
It prints at true size
A two-minute printer setup — print a ruler, measure it, done — and every folder after that folds down the middle exactly where it should.
It works on your paper
Plain letter paper from the supply closet. Nothing to order, nothing pre-printed, nothing that runs out at the worst moment. Use your good stock when you have it.
It changes in ten seconds
The family adds two pallbearers on the morning of the service. Type the names, print forty more, walk them to the chapel.
Everything for the service, from one set of facts
Bifold folder
8.5 × 11 folded to 5.5 × 8.5 · 1 sheet, printed both sides
Single sheet
8.5 × 11, front and back · 1 sheet, printed both sides
Prayer cards
2.5 × 4.25, eight per sheet · 1 sheet per 8 cards, both sides
Bookmarks
2 × 7, four per sheet · 1 sheet per 4 bookmarks, both sides
Podium copy
8.5 × 11, 18pt type · As many as it takes — single-sided
Easel sign
8.5 × 11 portrait · 1 sheet, single-sided
The podium copy is the piece nobody asks for. Eighteen-point type, one sentence per line, no sentence split across a page, and a place to write how the names are pronounced.
Two hundred people hold it
for a solid hour.
The service folder is the only thing at a funeral that every single person touches, and a good share of them keep it — in a Bible, in a drawer, in a box in the closet — for twenty years. It should look like your funeral home cared about it. It shouldn’t cost you a subscription, and it shouldn’t depend on a program that stopped being sold.
Microsoft retires Publisher in October 2026. If your service folders live in a .pub file, they need somewhere to go.
Why is it free?
Program.Memorial is built by the team behind Funeral AI — the same family as Guestbook.Memorial, ObitWriter.Memorial and Slideshow.Memorial. The free tools are our introduction: use them on every case, forever, at no charge. If you love them, we’d be honored to show you what else we’re building.
Questions funeral directors ask
Do I have to buy special paper?
No. Everything is designed for plain letter paper, and it looks right on it. If you have good stock or pre-printed folders you like, use them — the layout leaves the margins alone.
Will it line up on my printer?
That is the whole point of the two-minute printer setup: you print a ruler, measure it, and we adjust. There is also a fold test that tells you which two-sided setting your printer needs.
Can I use hymn lyrics or a poem?
The built-in verses are all public domain, so they are always safe to print. Anything still in copyright you can type in yourself — that permission is the funeral home’s to obtain, the same as it is today.
What about the obituary — do I retype it?
No. Paste the link from ObitWriter.Memorial and the name, dates, obituary and service details come across. Or type it here; it’s your call.
What is the QR code on the back panel?
One code for the family, not four. It opens whichever of the free tools you turned on for that service — the guestbook, the obituary page, the tribute video — and quietly leaves out the ones you didn’t.
Really free?
Unlimited programs, no card, no contract, no per-case fee. Here’s why.
Print one before you print two hundred.
Then print two hundred.
