Service Of Funeral Keepsakes

Making final arrangements for a loved one entails a lot of planning and attention to details. One such duty included in this task is setting up a proper memorial event. Creating an order of service funeral program is quite helpful in keeping things in line.

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.

A very important part of the planning is deciding who will be the officiant and which types of tributes are going to used in these proceedings. The next step is figuring out the people who are going to deliver or perform each of those pieces. The final touch is lining everything up in the correct succession.

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.

Arranging an order of service funeral program is one of the many tasks necessary when someone passes away. It is a lovely way to pay tribute to the one who has passed on. It also helps keep everyone informed as to what is scheduled to occur during the memorial gathering.
