Observing ABC's Of Funeral Obituary Programs
When organizing for a funeral, it is important to have a program which will act as a guide during the burial day. This will help in proper time management, as well as pass across crucial information to the attendees. When designing funeral programs, it is important that you go about it in the right way, so as to maximize its use.
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.
Come up with a layout for the leaflet. The layout should present the information in the most appealing way and not look overcrowded. You don't have to choose a complex design, something simple made using free software will work just fine.
Include a quality photo of the deceased. Try and find a quality photo that was taken by a professional. So as to avoid having to crop the photo, find one in which the deceased is alone in the picture. You can retouch the photo using a photo editing software to enhance it.
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.
