Learning The Basics Of Funeral Memorial 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
