Understanding Basic Details Of Funeral 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.
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.
Have at least one photo of the deceased person in the leaflet. Choose a quality photograph where the person was alone. Avoid group photographs which you may have to crop. You can edit the photo if necessary, if it is not in good condition.
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.
