Benefits To Having Funeral Service Program

Most people view a memorial service as their last opportunity to bid farewell to a friend, associate or family member. There are a number of cultural, regional and personal influences that can affect these types of proceedings. Providing a funeral program is one way to let all in attendance understand the order of actions.

Some choose to use a single panel design, while others find it best to print booklets. Either way, the handout should clearly present the deceased's complete given name as well as the days on which they were born and died. The place and time the services are to be held, and the honoree's photo are also placed on the front cover.

The inside should contain a complete ordered listing, start to close, of how the service will proceed. For each passage, poem or song that is used as a tribute, the title, author and person who is performing it needs to be listed. It would also be a thoughtful gesture to have the obituary included as part of the publication.

This printed order helps whoever is officiating over the services to keep things flowing and to make sure nothing is left out. Fellow mourners are also able to follow along much easier when they have a guide in hand. It is helpful to know how things will proceed and to also be able to revisit any tributes that one finds touching.

Aside from letting everyone know what to expect, these handouts often provide mourners with a sense of comfort and closure. It gives them a physical reminder of a very personal occasion. There is no wrong or right way to grieve, and for some, these mementos are key coping mechanisms.

Creating a funeral program serves multiple purposes for many people. They provide pertinent information about the deceased and present a listing of how the memorial proceedings will flow. This document is also a keepsake of sorts for those who desire to take some physical reminder for memory's sake.
