Order Of Funeral Service Programs

A lot of planning goes into making the final arrangements when someone passes away. Creating a memorable gathering which allows friends and family to pay their respects and say their goodbyes is an important task. Things will flow more smoothly when an order of service funeral booklet is given to all in attendance.

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.

Begin by selecting a photo of the deceased to be used on the cover. This should be a fairly recent picture that flatters the individual as well as shows their personality. Though black and white is perfectly acceptable, color has a tendency to show up better and adds a more ethereal look to the document, which helps to soothe mourners.

Decisions about who will officiate the proceedings as well as which oral recitations and musical selections are being performed. For each piece that will be used, it should also be determined who is going to be responsible for their delivery. The final step is placing them in the most appropriate ordering.

A popular item often included in these programs is the honoree's obituary. Even though people are free to read this tribute in the local papers, it is a special touch to provide each guest with their own keepsake copy. A lot of people collect the printouts as keepsake tokens and the addition of the final tribute is extra thoughtful.

Arranging an order of service funeral program is one of the many tasks necessary when someone passes away. It is a lovely way to pay tribute to the one who has passed on. It also helps keep everyone informed as to what is scheduled to occur during the memorial gathering.
