Creating a Memorial
Service Flyer
Just follow the steps below to create personalized funeral
cards on your own.
- Get All the Info and Files
You Need
Before you start creating the
custom memorial cards, be sure to gather all the information that you will need
to put into them. The full name, date and place of birth, profession, interests
and accomplishments are some of the main things that can be put in a memorial
card.
You should also get a number of
photos of the deceased and also a number of various photos that you want to
include on the cards such as flowers, ribbons and angels.
- Sketch the Template Design
Make a rough sketch of the design
of the template that you are going to use to create the personalized funeral
cards. This will enable you to easily determine where the texts, images and
photos should be put, making your job easier.
- Get the GIMP Software
Download the GIMP program from
GIMP.org.This will enable you to create and edit your template faster.
- Start Making the Funeral
Cards
After successfully installing the
program, start creating your personalized funeral cards by creating a new document.
Click on ‘File’ then hit ‘New’. Choose a background for your card. White is
often recommended for these.
You should also provide the
dimensions or size of your card and the paper that you’re using.
- Insert Images and Texts
When inserting the images, go to
‘File’>’Open’, select the images then press ‘Copy’ before clicking ‘Paste’
to insert the documents. To put texts, you should create a new layer on the
document. This will enable you to edit and move individual layers, which will
avoid ruining the other images and texts when you try to edit one element only.
Use the ‘Text’ tool to insert
texts. Make sure that you use formal fonts only like Times New Roman. If you want to add a little style, choose fonts like
Monotype Corsiva or Edwardian Script for the name of the deceased
but do not use fonts like Joker or Bradly Hand. Use the ‘Move’ tool to
place the text where you want them to be. This also goes for other elements
like images.
- Save then Print
After you are done making the custom
memorial cards, you can save them and print them on your own printer or on a
shop. Get rid of the excess paper by trimming the cards on the sides that were
not printed on then send them to relatives and friends.

I think it's important that flyers get made for events. You never know who is going to be interested in the thing you're throwing. When I was in the Philippines, I organized and taught an English class. I wish I would have made flyers so that we would have gotten more people to come. https://www.nextdayprintingservices.com/category/next-day-flyers
