Exploring ABC's Of Funeral Obituary Programs

Funeral directors or homes may charge you quite a bit of money if you want them to assist you to write funeral programs. If you are on a tight budget and don't have the money to spend, you can write your own program. This will allow you to even add any personal touches you want. Knowing how to go about it will help you through the process.

Decide what kind of information you want to include in the leaflet. Only include the most essential information, so as to keep the program simple and short. The information that is included should help people know more about the deceased, as well as provide guidance on how time will be used during the memorial and burial services.

Come up with a layout of the leaflet. The layout should be able to incorporate all the information and still look presentable. You can design your own using any design software you have or you can download ready made templates from the Internet.

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.

Get input from other family members about what they would want included in the program. If possible, be willing to accommodate their wishes. Try and match the theme of the program with the rest of the theme of the event.

Go through the program and make sure that everything is in order before you print it. Have someone else go through it and provide you with feedback on what they think about the program and if it has any errors. Once you are satisfied with it, you can make many copies so that there are enough funeral programs for the people who will attend the memorial service.
