ABC's Of Funeral Obituary 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.

Come up with a layout for the leaflet. The layout should present the information in the most appealing way and not look overcrowded. You don't have to choose a complex design, something simple made using free software will work just fine.

Include a quality photo of the deceased. Try and find a quality photo that was taken by a professional. So as to avoid having to crop the photo, find one in which the deceased is alone in the picture. You can retouch the photo using a photo editing software to enhance it.

Talk to close family members of the deceased and get their views about the program. Ask them if they had anything in specific in mind. You may have to add or remove information from the program, depending on what their wishes are.

Take time to go through the program once you are done writing and laying it out. Check if there are any errors or inconsistency on the information provided and the layout. Have another person also go through the program to cross check if it is okay. Once you are sure everything is fine, print the funeral programs on high quality paper.
