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

Memorial

We ask about the person — their life, personality, legacy, and the story their family wants told. This conversation shapes every design decision.

General

We ask about your brand, your audience, and your goal. Fast, focused, professional.

The Timeline

Memorial

Coordinated around your service date. We understand the deadline is immovable and treat it as sacred. Rush options available.

General

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

Memorial

Every element — layout, typography, photo placement, wording — is chosen to honor the tone of a life. No generic templates.

General

Clean, professional design that represents your brand. Consistent with your existing identity or built from scratch.

Who We're Serving

Memorial

Grieving families navigating one of the hardest moments of their lives. We bring patience, compassion, and guidance — not just print services.

General

Churches, organizations, small businesses, and event planners who need quality print work done right.

The End Product

Memorial

A keepsake families hold onto for generations. Something that captures a person, not just a document about them.

General

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
