About Farris Media & Marketing Management — Memphis, TN
Memorial printing for families. Commercial printing for businesses. One company. One standard of excellence.
Who We Are
Farris Media & Marketing Management is a full-service specialty print and marketing company based in Memphis, Tennessee. We serve two distinct but equally important audiences — families who need compassionate memorial printing during their time of loss, and businesses, churches, and organizations that need professional commercial print and marketing materials to grow and communicate.
Our team of dedicated professionals brings focused expertise to every client interaction. Whether we are designing a heartfelt obituary program or producing branded business materials, our approach is rooted in authentic relationships, active listening, and a commitment to quality that never wavers.
At the core of our philosophy lies the belief in fostering a nurturing environment where every client — grieving family or growing business — can express their needs and receive results that truly reflect who they are.
Our Services Include
We offer a full range of memorial services — from crafting heartfelt obituaries to designing personalized tribute programs and curating a unique selection of memorial keepsakes including printed or digital items, blankets, pillows, t-shirts, jewelry, plaques, and urns. As a partner with many funeral homes in the Mid-South, we offer customized services commonly used by families before, during, and after the funeral of their loved one.
On the commercial side, we serve businesses, churches, nonprofits, and community organizations throughout Memphis and the Mid-South with professional print and marketing materials — including business cards, flyers, banners, event programs, church bulletins, signage, and branded promotional items. If it can be printed or designed, we can produce it.
To help you honor the memory of your loved one, Farris Media & Marketing also offers a wide range of portrait and tribute options — including casket inserts, custom-designed portraits placed inside during the funeral service or visitation, and custom paintings created from family-provided photographs and restructured by local artists.
Print & Digital Tributes
We take digital and printed photos to reproduce framed prints of high-quality photographs, flyers, posters, and banners that can be displayed at funeral homes or other memorial events. Our advanced expert services include obituary writing, obituary tribute programs, a diverse array of print and digital services, and memorial keepsakes — including memorial jewelry, plaques, urns, flowers, and much more.
Proactive Planning & Support
Because of our experience in the death care industry, we acknowledge the significance of proactive planning — empowering individuals and families to make well-informed decisions regarding end-of-life care and easing the emotional burden during grief. We are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Business & Commercial Printing
Beyond memorial services, we are a trusted print partner for businesses, churches, nonprofits, and community organizations. From business cards and branded flyers to event programs, church bulletins, banners, and signage — we bring the same attention to detail and commitment to quality to every commercial project we take on.
What we do
Two Areas of Service. One Commitment to Excellence.

"Farris Media & Marketing Management did an amazing job within a one week turnaround on obituaries for me. I explained to Mrs. Dee exactly how I wanted the obituaries designed. She went above and beyond to fulfill my needs. Mrs. Dee is very talented, honest, caring, and she takes pride in her work. The obituaries I ordered were so beautiful and went above my expectations. I would highly recommend this company."
