What You Should Expect When Making Funeral Program

Burial rites can vary quite a bit from one person to another so having a printed guide of the proceedings is beneficial. Not only does it let everyone know what to do, it assists those who may be unfamiliar with the process feel more comfortable. Creating the funeral service program does not take much time at all.

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.

As each event is different, the inside should be customized to fit the individual being honored. Additional photographs, favored poems and verses as well as the order of actions can all be included as desired. Many people find having the obituary printed on one of the pages to be an especially touching sentiment.

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.

Verses and passages should be identified by the works in which they are found and their authors, and musical pieces are also to have their artists or composers credited. The officiant, all speakers and participants need to be noted by name in the printout. This is respectful and lets mourners access the information again at a less stressful time.

Printing out a funeral service program to hand out to all who attend the memorial helps things run more smoothly. It serves as a way to let everyone know what is going to happen and the order in which things will occur. This is also a way to provide each mourner with a keepsake to remember and honor a lost friend, associate or family member.
