Order For Memorial Service Listings

Quite a lot of detail and planning is required when setting up final arrangements for one who has passed on. Part of this task is coming up with a memorial event that is fitting. Having an order of service funeral program available for all will help make this occasion go more smoothly.

This is a printed handout that is given to each guest in attendance at the memorial event. It contains a complete listing of what will happen, who will be speaking, and each type of tribute to be paid. Creating this piece begins by making a series of choices and decisions.

A nice photo should be selected to grace the program's cover. It is best to use something that was taken in the last few years and shows the deceased in a most flattering way. Some prefer black and white photography, though color is recommended because of how it accentuate the picture and tends to soothe those who are grieving.

Decisions such as who will be officiating and what musical selections or verbal readings are to be included in the proceedings are key. It will also be necessary to determine who will deliver each oral piece or perform each song. Once all of this has been settled on, the next step is determining at what point they will be used.

The obituary is another item commonly used as part of this type of document. Even though it is normally placed in the public newspaper, including it as part of the program ensures that each attendee has an opportunity to read it. Some people consider these handouts as memorial tokens that help them deal with their loss and consider this extra step quite thoughtful.

There is quite a bit that goes into creating an order of service funeral program for one who has passed away. It pays tribute to one who will be missed and provides a special keepsake for the bereaved. This is a great way to let all guests know what to expect at the memorial event.
