Observing Details Of Funeral Home 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.
Consider the information that you want to include in the program. There are different kinds of information you may choose to include. This includes the deceased's biography, photos, poems, songs, order of service and scripture messages. Try to keep the program short and simple.
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.
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.
Consider asking for suggestions about the program, especially from the family of the deceased. This will help you come up with a program that matches with the rest of the event theme and personality of the deceased. Ask them if there is anything else they would want you to include in the program.
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.
