Order Of Funeral Service Purposes
A lot of emotions are typically present on occasions where people gather to bid a final farewell to someone they knew. With so many variations in styles, it may be difficult for guests to know what to expect from the proceedings. This is one reason printing a funeral order of service program is so important.
Letting guests know what is happening is the primary purpose for this handout. It provides a complete guide to what action follows another and a brief description of each. This is also the forum for listing each tribute that will be paid, whether it be a speaker, a song, a reading or musical piece.
The cover is usually graced with a photograph of the one being honored. The front is also typically titled with a sentimental phrase such as "In Loving Memory Of" or "Rest In Peace". Also included on this page is the location and time of the memorial and the deceased's information, including full name, birthday and date of passing.
Inside the program is a carefully organized list of events as they are scheduled to happen, starting with the opening remarks and ending with closing prayers or comments. Having things clearly listed in this fashion is especially helpful to those who may not be familiar with how these proceedings go since there are a lot of variations. It also assists the officiant with keeping control.
Religious script, quotes, literary passages, hymns, songs, instrumentals and poetry are a few things often used to pay tribute at memorials. With the handout in place, all in attendance are aware of which are set to be delivered. The program should include all titles, sources, authors, composers and performers of each piece.
Creating a funeral order of service program is a thoughtful way of allowing all guests to follow along with the proceedings. This is especially useful for attendees who may not be familiar with what to expect. It also serves as a token that each mourner can take away as a memorial keepsake of someone they have lost.
