Understanding Our Services
Memorial Printing vs General Printing
Farris Media does both — and we do them differently. Here's what sets each service apart, and how to know which one you need.
Same Quality. Different Purpose. Different Process.
Both service lines come from the same shop, the same standards, and the same commitment to quality. But memorial printing and general business printing are fundamentally different experiences — and we treat them that way.
Memorial Printing
Obituary programs, keepsakes, apparel, banners, and tribute products for families honoring a loved one. This is our specialty — and the heart of everything we do.
"You Created The Moment, We Will Help Tell The Story…"
General Business Printing
Business cards, flyers, church bulletins, event programs, banners, postcards, and graphic design for businesses, churches, and organizations across Memphis and the Mid-South.
Professional quality. Fast turnaround. Local Memphis print shop.
How the Two Services Differ
The same printer. A completely different experience depending on what you need.
The Conversation
We ask about the person — their life, personality, legacy, and the story their family wants told. This conversation shapes every design decision.
We ask about your brand, your audience, and your goal. Fast, focused, professional.
The Timeline
Coordinated around your service date. We understand the deadline is immovable and treat it as sacred. Rush options available.
Production timing is based on order details and the current production schedule. Rush available. We work around your event or campaign schedule.
The Design Approach
Every element — layout, typography, photo placement, wording — is chosen to honor the tone of a life. No generic templates.
Clean, professional design that represents your brand. Consistent with your existing identity or built from scratch.
Who We're Serving
Grieving families navigating one of the hardest moments of their lives. We bring patience, compassion, and guidance — not just print services.
Churches, organizations, small businesses, and event planners who need quality print work done right.
The End Product
A keepsake families hold onto for generations. Something that captures a person, not just a document about them.
A professional printed piece that represents your organization clearly and effectively.

Why Families Choose Farris Media for Memorial Printing
Most print shops treat an obituary program like any other job. Mrs. Dee Farris — The Obituary Queen™ — treats it like what it is: the last printed record of a person's life. She listens to the story, asks the right questions, and creates a tribute that feels like the person — not just a document about them.
"From the initial consultation to the final product, professionalism, courtesy, and innovation consistently exceeded expectations." — Shelanda Simmons
