Memorial service graphics
A memorial graphic is a name, a time, and a place, using words the family has approved. Do not invent a verse, a nickname, or “celebrate the life” if they did not ask for that phrase. The design should be quiet enough to print in the lobby without looking like an event ad.

Facts families are asked twice
- Full name, as they want it printed.
- Service time and place. Livestream only if there is one, with the real link kept off the art and put in the caption or the program.
- Whether a reception follows, and where.

Questions
Should we use their photograph?
Only with the family’s consent, and only if the file is a portrait they recognize. A generated face is not acceptable here.
