Template For Funeral Order Of Service Programs

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.

Though it serves several purposes, the primary task of this printout is to provide guests with useful information. Each step of the proceedings is listed so that everyone is aware of what is happening next. This will also allow them to know the names of any sung or spoken tributes delivered.

The front of the program is where a favorite photo of the deceased is placed. Below the picture should be printed the honoree's full name, their dates of birth and death, followed by the place and the time the event will take place. The top of the page typically has a memorial caption.

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.

Some commonly used elements for memorial events are songs or hymns and literary passages or verses that were special to the deceased. Having them listed in the program lets all the guests know what the tribute pieces are. One should always take care to ensure that every piece is properly titled and that credit is given to the composer, author and presenter of each.

Creating a funeral order of service program is a thoughtful way of allowing all guests to follow along with the proceedings. This is especially useful for attendees who may not be familiar with what to expect. It also serves as a token that each mourner can take away as a memorial keepsake of someone they have lost.
