Order For Memorial Service Leaflet

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.

Begin by selecting a photo of the deceased to be used on the cover. This should be a fairly recent picture that flatters the individual as well as shows their personality. Though black and white is perfectly acceptable, color has a tendency to show up better and adds a more ethereal look to the document, which helps to soothe mourners.

Decisions such as who will be officiating and what musical selections or verbal readings are to be included in the proceedings are key. It will also be necessary to determine who will deliver each oral piece or perform each song. Once all of this has been settled on, the next step is determining at what point they will be used.

Another thing commonly included in this publication is a copy of the obituary. Though generally printed in the local newspaper, including it in the printed program ensures that each guest has access to this piece of tribute. Those who keep these memorial handouts as tokens, or as a way to deal with the grief of loss, appreciate this extra bit of thoughtfulness.

Providing an order of service funeral printout is a part of making final arrangements for a lost loved one. It is a fine method of paying tribute to someone who has passed on. This also keeps a memorial gathering flowing per schedule since everyone is aware of what to expect.
