Selecting Funeral Programs

When making burial arrangements, it is important to be well organized. This is because there are so many things which will need to be done and so many people to co ordinate. One of the ways to ensure that everything runs smoothly, especially on the day of the burial is to provide funeral programs to the attendees. This will help everyone know what is supposed to happen at what time.

Carefully select the kind of information to include in the program. Only include important details that will provide overall guidance on how the event should run. Some essential information to include in the leaflet are the biography details of the deceased, order of service and any special songs or verses to be recited on that day.

Choose a template design. This will give you a layout of the information you want to include. You can either design your own program or download a ready made template from the Internet. Choose the colors to use and a suitable font size that is legible.

Use a quality picture of the deceased. Go through any of their recent photos and find one that has been professionally taken. Ideally, find a photo which was taken while they were on their own and not in a group. This will remove the need to crop the photo.

Talk to close family members of the deceased and get their views about the program. Ask them if they had anything in specific in mind. You may have to add or remove information from the program, depending on what their wishes are.

When writing funeral programs, always remember to proofread it before you print. Check for any grammar errors and design mistakes. If possible, have one or two more people proofread it too. Then print the program on high quality paper. Make enough copies, depending on the number of people who will attend.
