Order For Funeral Service Listings

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.

The first decision is generally which, if any, photograph of the deceased is to be placed upon the cover. The photo should be a recent likeness that is both flattering and shows personality. The use of black and white is fine though color gives the program a brighter, more uplifting feel which many mourners find more comforting.

A very important part of the planning is deciding who will be the officiant and which types of tributes are going to used in these proceedings. The next step is figuring out the people who are going to deliver or perform each of those pieces. The final touch is lining everything up in the correct succession.

The obituary is another item commonly used as part of this type of document. Even though it is normally placed in the public newspaper, including it as part of the program ensures that each attendee has an opportunity to read it. Some people consider these handouts as memorial tokens that help them deal with their loss and consider this extra step quite thoughtful.

There is quite a bit that goes into creating an order of service funeral program for one who has passed away. It pays tribute to one who will be missed and provides a special keepsake for the bereaved. This is a great way to let all guests know what to expect at the memorial event.
