A prayer to carry beyond the service
A funeral prayer card pairs a remembrance of your loved one with words people can return to in prayer. Its compact 2.5 × 4.25 inch size can be tucked into a prayer book or kept with other family mementos.
Begin with the prayer that matters to your family. Eternal Rest is included as a traditional prayer, alongside Scripture selections and original prayers for comfort. The editor identifies the source of each suggestion and lets you adjust the wording before printing.
Choosing the details and the prayer
- Use the name and dates from the funeral program so the details stay consistent.
- Choose a portrait, reuse a photo from your library, or use the collection’s artwork.
- Keep the prayer short enough to read at this size. Scripture references can stay with the text; longer readings belong in the program.

Prayer card wording examples
These are examples from the editor. Traditional prayers are labeled separately from Scripture. Biblical selections use the Douay–Rheims translation, with the reference shown on the card.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.
Luke 23:46 (excerpt) · Douay–Rheims · Read the passage
God of tenderness, hold our loved one in your peace. Comfort those who grieve, and help us carry love into the days ahead. Amen.
Every suggestion is editable. Check the final preview after changing the words, especially on smaller cards.

Which Catholic prayers can I put on a funeral prayer card?
The editor includes Eternal Rest, the words “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit” from Luke 23:46, selections from the Psalms, and an original prayer for peace. You can edit a suggestion or enter your own prayer.
Is Eternal Rest a Bible verse?
Eternal Rest is presented as a traditional Catholic prayer, not as a Bible quotation. Scripture suggestions in the editor have their own biblical references and translation labels.
Are these double-sided or laminated prayer cards?
The download produces flat, single-sided cards with blank backs. Weeve does not print or laminate them. Ask your printer about lamination or any additional finishing; a two-sided design would require a separate file setup.
Is the prayer card template free?
You can build and preview it free, including your photo and wording. Preview PDFs carry a PREVIEW mark. A one-time $10 unlock covers all four stationery formats for this memorial, with a matching funeral program included if you need one. Printing and delivery are separate.
Can I upload a photo or choose one from my library?
Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP photo up to 10 MB, use your program image, or choose collection artwork. Signed-in users can choose photos from their saved programs and stationery. Save your stationery or program to make a new upload available in your library.
How do I print the finished design?
Choose Letter or A4 in the editor and download the unlocked print sheet. Print single-sided at 100% / Actual size, one PDF page per sheet, and trim at the external guides. The PDF already contains multiple copies. You can print at home on supported cardstock or ask a print shop to print and cut it.
