Funeral – Funeral programmes
A folded funeral programme guides the service quietly and gracefully – it shows the hymns, readings, speeches and memorial words in a clear order. A well-made programme makes the service easier to follow for both the organisers and the guests.
aDigi's range includes two folded funeral programme sizes and a memorial card for guests as a keepsake:
- Funeral programme 105×210 mm – narrow folded – our most ordered size, a slim and elegant format that suits a quiet atmosphere and fits between hymn book pages
- Funeral programme A5 – classic folded – a traditional, more spacious format with plenty of room for hymns, poems and photographs
- Funeral card – memorial card for guests – a small, unfolded keepsake that the organiser hands out at the memorial table or attaches to floral arrangements
We print funeral programmes and memorial cards carefully in our own production facility in Helsinki using plant-based eco-friendly inks on FSC/PEFC-certified card stock. Ordering is straightforward – choose a product and size, submit a print-ready PDF or raw materials, and receive the items in time for the service.
Order from our online store – local printing in Helsinki and fast delivery throughout Finland.
Funeral programme 105×210 mm – narrow folded
A slim and elegant programme for memorial services
Our most ordered funeral programme size – the discreet narrow format suits a quiet atmosphere and feels comfortable to hold throughout the service.
Funeral Programme A5 – classic folded
A classic programme for memorial services
An A5 four-page folded funeral programme – the spacious inner spread leaves plenty of room for hymns, poems, memorial words and photographs.
Funeral card – memorial card for guests
A coordinated keepsake for guests at a memorial service
Funeral cards to hand out at the memorial table or attach to floral arrangements – a dignified keepsake of the deceased. Ordered as a coordinated batch of 30–300 pieces.
Which product suits the service?
A funeral programme and a funeral card serve different purposes, even though they belong to the same service. Many organisers order both – the programme sets out the order of service, while the card stays with guests as a keepsake.
Funeral programme – a guide to the service
- Sets out the order of service – hymns, speeches, memorial words
- Used during the service – helps guests follow along
- A folded four-page programme – A5 classic or 105×210 mm narrow
- Ordered to match the guest count – typically 50–200 copies
Funeral card – a keepsake for guests
- Handed out to guests at the memorial table
- Contains a photograph and memorial verse – not the order of service
- An unfolded card – A6, A5 or 105×210 mm
- Ordered as a batch – 30–300 pieces based on the expected guest count
Order with editing – we'll compile the artwork for you
The timeline for funerals is often tight, and there may not be time to prepare a polished print-ready file. You can order the funeral programme or cards without a ready-made PDF – we'll compile a dignified, considered whole for you from your raw materials.
What can you send us?
- The deceased's details – name, dates of birth and death
- The order of service – often provided by the officiant or funeral home
- A photograph – jpg, png or heic; phone photos work too
- Hymns, poems and memorial verse – numbers and titles
- Eulogy or biography – Word, email or photographed handwritten notes
Materials – three discreet options
The same material suits both funeral programmes and memorial cards – a consistent material rounds out a considered overall design.
A classic, clean white tone. The firm, even surface reproduces text and photographs crisply – a neutral choice that suits almost any visual style.
A smooth textured surface that gently resembles linen fabric. A dignified, traditional feel – particularly suited to a classic look.
A warm, natural-white tone with a slightly textured surface. An environmentally friendly choice that brings a calm, earthy feel.
FSC and PEFC certified paper: all the card stocks we use are certified with either FSC or PEFC – they are made from responsibly managed forests.

Frequently asked questions
Which programme size should I choose?
105×210 mm is the most ordered choice – a slim and elegant format that suits an understated look and fits between hymn book pages. A5 is the traditional choice for services where the programme will include more text, multiple photographs or a longer biography.
How does a funeral card differ from a funeral programme?
A funeral card is a small, unfolded keepsake that the organiser hands out to guests at the memorial service – the card contains a photograph, name and memorial verse. A funeral programme, by contrast, is a folded leaflet that sets out the order of service and hymns. Many organisers order both with the same look.
Can you edit the artwork for me?
Yes. We can refine or finalise your artwork if needed – send the unfinished file, photographs and texts in good time, and we'll handle the finished result for the service. This is a common service for funeral products.
How quickly will the products be ready?
Standard delivery time is 2–3 working days from artwork arrival. In urgent cases please contact us – we'll work out the fastest possible timeline together.
Can I order small quantities?
Yes. As a digital printer we can produce small quantities cost-effectively – just the amount needed for the service.
Is the printing environmentally friendly?
Yes. We print funeral products using energy-efficient, plant-based inks – they melt at a lower temperature than conventional inks, which saves energy. All card stocks are FSC or PEFC certified, and we also offer 100% recycled card as an option.
How will the products be delivered?
Delivery throughout Finland. By courier in the Helsinki metropolitan area, by Posti Express elsewhere. Pickup from Helsinki Hakaniemi is also possible if you'd prefer to collect the items in person.
