Funeral Order Of Service Sample Contents
Attending a memorial for a friend or family member who has passed away can bring forth a lot of emotion. Due to personal requests, cultural and religious traditions, some attendees may feel a little lost at such events. When a funeral order of service handout is provided, everyone will be more aware and comfortable.
Letting guests know what is happening is the primary purpose for this handout. It provides a complete guide to what action follows another and a brief description of each. This is also the forum for listing each tribute that will be paid, whether it be a speaker, a song, a reading or musical piece.
A photograph of the deceased is normally used to adorn the program's cover. Above the likeness is generally placed a sentimental caption. Below the picture is where the honoree's complete name, the days on which they were born and passed away, as well as the information regarding where and when the event takes place is printed.
Inside the program is a carefully organized list of events as they are scheduled to happen, starting with the opening remarks and ending with closing prayers or comments. Having things clearly listed in this fashion is especially helpful to those who may not be familiar with how these proceedings go since there are a lot of variations. It also assists the officiant with keeping control.
Poetry, music, religious verses and literary passages are very common elements used at these events. The printout makes it possible to let each guests know when one of these are going to be presented. It is important that the authors or composers be identified, as well as anyone who may be delivering the tributes.
The funeral order of service printout is a helpful tool for guests who want to know the program's details. This is great for those who wish more information on a particular tribute or who are unfamiliar with what to expect on this occasion. Handouts also make a touching keepsake for any mourners who like to put such tokens in scrapbooks or memory boxes.
