Funeral Order Of Service Samples Programs
Attending a memorial for a friend or family member who has passed away can bring forth a lot of emotion. Due to personal requests, cultural and religious traditions, some attendees may feel a little lost at such events. When a funeral order of service handout is provided, everyone will be more aware and comfortable.
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.
A photograph of the deceased is normally used to adorn the program's cover. Above the likeness is generally placed a sentimental caption. Below the picture is where the honoree's complete name, the days on which they were born and passed away, as well as the information regarding where and when the event takes place is printed.
The inside is where all the details of the event, from start to stop, are listed. This is a welcome assist for anyone who may be unfamiliar with how such proceedings usually progress, especially if a brief description of each step is given. Having everything written down also helps to keep the events flowing smoothly.
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.
