Obituary Booklet Printing

An obituary booklet is like a scrapbook of someone’s life. It is a wonderful way to show the highlights of their history. Use it to include those little details that made up the tapestry of their life, including ticket stubs, favorite restaurant menus, heartfelt photos, notes, letters and more. With plenty of pages, you’ll have room to reminisce. Choose double-sided pages in any standard page size, and add a cover for an elegant finishing touch.
