They provide comfort during warm services while also serving as personalized memorial items. When laminated, these fans gain durability and a professional finish that elevates their keepsake value.

For more than 20 years, The Funeral Program Site has been the industry leader in funeral stationery and keepsakes, offering laminated fans as part of its extensive product line. Families can explore options at The Funeral Program Site, where expertise and compassion ensure every detail reflects dignity and love.

What Are Laminated Funeral Fans?

Laminated funeral fans are hand-held memorial items constructed with:

• A personalized printed panel (featuring photos, names, life dates, and messages).

• A sturdy wooden handle for easy use.

• A protective laminate finish that shields the design from damage.

The lamination process:

• Enhances durability by protecting against moisture, creases, and fading.

• Improves appearance with glossy or matte finishes.

• Preserves keepsake quality so fans last well beyond the day of the service.

These features make laminated fans both functional and meaningful.

Why Families Choose Laminated Fans

Families often select laminated funeral fans because they:

• Provide practical comfort during services held outdoors or in warm environments.

• Become lasting keepsakes, protected by lamination from everyday wear.

• Offer a premium look, with enhanced colors and polished finishes.

• Can be coordinated with programs, bookmarks, and other stationery.

• Are affordable memorials that guests can take home and preserve.

This combination of practicality and sentiment makes them one of the most popular additions to funeral services.
