When ordering a memorial poster, choosing the right material is just as important as the design itself. Each option looks and feels different, and the best choice depends on how and where the memorial will be displayed.
Poster Print
Our poster prints use premium matte paper with a smooth, non-reflective finish. Colors are rich and details are crisp.
Best for:
- Framing for long-term home display
- Memory tables at services
- When you want the most affordable option without sacrificing quality
Good to know: Poster prints are lightweight and easy to transport. For long-term display, we recommend framing with UV-protective glass to preserve the colors.
Canvas Print
Our canvas prints are gallery-wrapped on 1.5" stretcher bars, ready to hang with no frame needed. The canvas texture adds warmth and a fine-art quality.
Best for:
- Permanent home display (living room, hallway, bedroom)
- When you want a gallery-quality presentation
- Gifts for family members
Good to know: Canvas prints have a slight texture that softens the image slightly, giving it an artistic, painterly quality that many families prefer for home display.
Foam Board Sign
Our foam board signs are printed on rigid, lightweight board that stands on its own. They're the go-to choice for funeral services and celebrations of life.
Best for:
- Funeral home easel displays
- Celebration of life entrance displays
- Any setting where the poster needs to stand upright without framing
Good to know: Foam board is rigid enough to stand on an easel without bowing. It's lightweight enough to transport easily and can be saved afterward as a keepsake.
Which Size Should I Choose?
| Size | Best For |
|---|---|
| 16"×20" | Memory tables, mantels, smaller rooms |
| 18"×24" | Easel displays, medium-sized venues |
| 24"×36" | Large venues, churches, funeral home chapels |
Our Recommendation
If you're ordering for a funeral service or celebration of life, a foam board sign in 18"×24" or 24"×36" is the most popular choice. If you're creating a lasting keepsake for the home, a canvas print creates a beautiful permanent display.
