Tips For Selecting Funeral Programs

Funeral directors or homes may charge you quite a bit of money if you want them to assist you to write funeral programs. If you are on a tight budget and don't have the money to spend, you can write your own program. This will allow you to even add any personal touches you want. Knowing how to go about it will help you through the process.

Carefully select the kind of information to include in the program. Only include important details that will provide overall guidance on how the event should run. Some essential information to include in the leaflet are the biography details of the deceased, order of service and any special songs or verses to be recited on that day.

Choose a template design. This will give you a layout of the information you want to include. You can either design your own program or download a ready made template from the Internet. Choose the colors to use and a suitable font size that is legible.

Have at least one photo of the deceased person in the leaflet. Choose a quality photograph where the person was alone. Avoid group photographs which you may have to crop. You can edit the photo if necessary, if it is not in good condition.

Get input from other family members about what they would want included in the program. If possible, be willing to accommodate their wishes. Try and match the theme of the program with the rest of the theme of the event.

Go through the program and make sure that everything is in order before you print it. Have someone else go through it and provide you with feedback on what they think about the program and if it has any errors. Once you are satisfied with it, you can make many copies so that there are enough funeral programs for the people who will attend the memorial service.
