Order Of Service Funeral Wording Programs

Attending a memorial for a friend or family member who has passed away can bring forth a lot of emotion. Due to personal requests, cultural and religious traditions, some attendees may feel a little lost at such events. When a funeral order of service handout is provided, everyone will be more aware and comfortable.

There are multiple purposes for this item, the foremost being as a way to let everyone know what to expect. It is a step by step listing of what is scheduled to occur during the event. This item also provides information about the songs, poems, passages and speakers used during the proceedings.

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.

The inside is used as a forum to provide a complete listing of each step of the program from the welcome to the dismissal. This is a great way to make sure all guests, especially those who may not have a familiarity with such events, know what is planned to happen. Because emotions sometimes run high, it also serves to keep things flowing on schedule.

Some commonly used elements for memorial events are songs or hymns and literary passages or verses that were special to the deceased. Having them listed in the program lets all the guests know what the tribute pieces are. One should always take care to ensure that every piece is properly titled and that credit is given to the composer, author and presenter of each.

The funeral order of service is a useful way to make everyone aware of what will be happening during the memorial event. It makes even those who are not well versed in the subject feel included. Those who choose to keep tokens for memory boxes or scrapbooks often find these items to be perfect for such a purpose.
