What You Should Learn When Planning Program For Funeral Service
Because not all burial processes are the same, it helps to have a something that can help guide those in attendance through each step. For those unfamiliar with what to expect, this assistance can make an already emotional situation just a little more comfortable. Creating a funeral service program can be done rather quickly once key decisions have been made.
Many people choose to keep these handouts as sentimental tokens of memorial services, so the cover should announce the occasion. The name of the deceased, along with the dates they lived and their photograph, usually grace the document's front. Some may opt to include a title or caption along the lines of "In Loving Memory Of.." as well.
The inside is fully customizable and may contain one, or multiple pages of information. The order of events are always included and other things such as poems and photos may also be added. Because they are often used as keepsakes, printing the obituary in the pamphlet would be most considerate.
At least one page should be set aside to feature the order of events. The list begins with the entrance procession, introductions and opening remarks, followed by the songs, hymns, passages and poems as they are to be performed. The last things are usually the personal tributes, the eulogy, closing committals, blessings or prayers and the recessional.
Any written works or musical pieces are to be identified in print, by their author, location or composer. All participants, including the officiant, pall bearers, speakers and performers should also be noted. This gives credit but also helps mourners remember who did what and how to locate items they liked at a later date.
A funeral service program is useful in conducting a smoother memorial. It provides everyone with useful information and the order of events that are scheduled. This item has the added benefit of acting as a sentimental keepsake for those who are dealing with the loss of someone close.
