Funeral Program Design Provides Several Benefits
The memorial services are the perfect opportunity for the deceased's loved ones to comfort each other and to bid farewell to their friend, relative or associate who has passed on. These events can take many forms as influenced by regional, religious, or even personal traditions and wishes. Presenting each attendee with a funeral program will make sure they know what to expect.
This handout may be a couple of pages long or it may simply be a single sheet. It should always contain at least the most basic information about the honoree, such as their complete name, dates of both birth and death, as well as the location and time of the service. Most people also opt to include a favorite picture of the deceased on the cover.
On the inside, the handout will have the order of service from opening to closing. This information should include the titles of all poems, songs or passages to be used as well as the author and the name of who will be reciting, playing or performing each. Some people also like to incorporate a copy of the obituary.
Having a printed order of service helps the officiant to keep the proceedings flowing smoothly and in a timely fashion. It also provides an opportunity for those in attendance to follow along. Everyone will know what to expect as well as the details of any tributes performed during the event.
A feeling of closure is something a lot of mourners get from these handouts. Some just need some physical token of the occasion to help them understand its finality. There are many ways to grieve and for many, that entails using mementos as a way to cope with their loss.
There are plenty of reasons for having a funeral program available for guests. Each person will have access to the flow of proceedings as well as the personal details of the deceased. It may also serve as a keepsake to the memory of a loved one lost.
