Custom Funeral and Memorial Service Program

What a good one includes

• A high-quality cover photo of your loved one, accompanied by their full legal name, dates of birth and passing, and the location of the service.
• A clear, chronological order of service that outlines each part of the ceremony, including musical preludes, prayers, eulogies, and benedictions.
• A brief, warmly written obituary or biographical sketch highlighting their passions, achievements, and surviving family members.
• The exact text of selected poems, scripture passages, or song lyrics that hold special meaning to the deceased and their family.
• A heartfelt thank-you note from the family to express gratitude for the community's emotional and physical support during this difficult time.
• A dedicated section listing the names of pallbearers, honorary attendants, and officiating clergy to recognize their role in the service.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using low-resolution or heavily cropped social media photos for the cover, which will print out blurry or pixelated.
• Failing to double-check the spelling of names for pallbearers, speakers, and close family members, which can cause unintended hurt feelings.
• Overcrowding the pages with too much text or too many photos, making the font size too small for older guests to read in dim chapel lighting.
• Designing the program without consulting the local printer first regarding standard paper sizes and folding capabilities.
