Facts To Know When Building Funeral Program
Burial rites can vary quite a bit from one person to another so having a printed guide of the proceedings is beneficial. Not only does it let everyone know what to do, it assists those who may be unfamiliar with the process feel more comfortable. Creating the funeral service program does not take much time at all.
The cover should serve as an announcement for the occasion as many people use the pamphlets as keepsakes. The front page normally has a nice photograph of the honoree, along with their full name and dates of birth and passing. Some families like to add a caption that expresses an appropriate sentiment.
The inside of this bulletin is customizable since services may be personalized to the individual. It contains the order of proceedings as well as any extras like poems and additional photos. As these are often saved in scrapbooks, it may also be prudent to include a copy of the obituary.
One page inside the pamphlet should be dedicated to the timeline of events. This normally starts with procession or entrance, followed by introductions and opening remarks, continuing with any hymns, prayers, songs or passages to be used as part of the memorial. It ends with the eulogy and additional tributes, closing prayers, blessings or committals and lastly, the recessional.
Any written works or musical pieces are to be identified in print, by their author, location or composer. All participants, including the officiant, pall bearers, speakers and performers should also be noted. This gives credit but also helps mourners remember who did what and how to locate items they liked at a later date.
Having a printed funeral service program available for guest can make things much more comfortable. It gives everyone all the information they need to follow along with ease. The bulletin is also a great way to provide each person a special memorial keepsake.
