Funeral Order Of Service Program Purposes
Memorial events are commonly filled with a lot of emotion as people say farewell to a dear friend. It can be difficult for attendees to understand the proceedings without some type of guide. Having a funeral order of service program printed and ready to hand out to guests can make everything much simpler.
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.
The cover is usually graced with a photograph of the one being honored. The front is also typically titled with a sentimental phrase such as "In Loving Memory Of" or "Rest In Peace". Also included on this page is the location and time of the memorial and the deceased's information, including full name, birthday and date of passing.
The inside is used as a forum to provide a complete listing of each step of the program from the welcome to the dismissal. This is a great way to make sure all guests, especially those who may not have a familiarity with such events, know what is planned to happen. Because emotions sometimes run high, it also serves to keep things flowing on schedule.
Religious script, quotes, literary passages, hymns, songs, instrumentals and poetry are a few things often used to pay tribute at memorials. With the handout in place, all in attendance are aware of which are set to be delivered. The program should include all titles, sources, authors, composers and performers of each piece.
The funeral order of service is a useful way to make everyone aware of what will be happening during the memorial event. It makes even those who are not well versed in the subject feel included. Those who choose to keep tokens for memory boxes or scrapbooks often find these items to be perfect for such a purpose.
