Tips For Choosing Funeral Memorial 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.

Use a quality picture of the deceased. Go through any of their recent photos and find one that has been professionally taken. Ideally, find a photo which was taken while they were on their own and not in a group. This will remove the need to crop the photo.

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.

When writing funeral programs, always remember to proofread it before you print. Check for any grammar errors and design mistakes. If possible, have one or two more people proofread it too. Then print the program on high quality paper. Make enough copies, depending on the number of people who will attend.
