Basics To Learn When Planning Funeral Program
Burial rites can vary quite a bit from one person to another so having a printed guide of the proceedings is beneficial. Not only does it let everyone know what to do, it assists those who may be unfamiliar with the process feel more comfortable. Creating the funeral service program does not take much time at all.
Attention should be given to the cover since many people use these bulletins as entries in memory books. The front usually contains a complementary photo of the deceased with their name and dates of birth and death. It it both acceptable and appropriate to include a title sentiment that indicates the purpose of the ceremony.
The inside is fully customizable and may contain one, or multiple pages of information. The order of events are always included and other things such as poems and photos may also be added. Because they are often used as keepsakes, printing the obituary in the pamphlet would be most considerate.
The page containing the order of events needs to contain nothing else. It begins by noting the entry procession, who will be introduced and welcome remarks followed by the scriptures, readings and musical numbers that will make up the memorial. The last few items are special speakers and tributes, the eulogy, any closing sentiments or prayers and ending with the recessional.
Any written works or musical pieces are to be identified in print, by their author, location or composer. All participants, including the officiant, pall bearers, speakers and performers should also be noted. This gives credit but also helps mourners remember who did what and how to locate items they liked at a later date.
A funeral service program is useful in conducting a smoother memorial. It provides everyone with useful information and the order of events that are scheduled. This item has the added benefit of acting as a sentimental keepsake for those who are dealing with the loss of someone close.
