Irish Memorial Card Traditions: What You Should Know

In Ireland, memorial or funeral cards have been a cherished tradition for generations. These small, laminated, folded cards are a powerful way to remember a loved one and share their memory with family and friends.

Key Irish Traditions Include:

Mass Cards: Often feature a sacred image and a prayer, such as the “Hail Mary” or “Eternal Rest”.

Use of Irish Language: Some families opt for bilingual cards (English and Irish), especially in Gaeltacht areas.

Scenic Designs: Irish landscapes and Celtic symbols are popular, representing home and heritage. We have even started personalising them to soccer, GAA teams & popular cultural themes. Any thing that makes them more personal for you and your family we are happy to help create.

Distributed after funerals or anniversaries: Many are handed out during Month’s Mind Masses or on anniversaries of a loved one’s passing.

Lamination: Gloss lamination is usually used to protect the cards and allows the to last much longer with the normal wear and tear. Ask us by email about matte lamination or no lamination if you prefer. We wnat you to be 100% happy iwith these cards as we hope they will be with you forever so please dont hestitate to ask us about any requirements or likes you may have.
