Bespoke Designs
Bespoke cards are cards that we design for you from scratch with the details and pictures you provide us. With these designs there is no standard design work prior so it will be totally unique.
If you are looking to order memory cards made from scratch, all you have to do is contact us via phone or email and we can help you with the process from there. Our phone number is 051 334 926 and our email is info@swift-memorials.ie
The prices are the same between the design form cards and the bespoke cards, and so the price can be calculated from the unit price breakdown under pricing at the top of the website. Alternatively you can contact us with the products you’d like and their respective quantities and we will email you a quote.
Once you have confirmed that you are happy with the price and would like to go ahead all you have to do is supply us with the following:
Details of Passing: This may include the former address, the date of birth and date of passing of the loved one.
Send us all the pictures and verses you would like to use on the card.
Send us a breakdown of the card layout i.e. where you would like the pictures and verses located as well as what text you would like on the front or back etc.
