What To Notice When Planning Funeral Service 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.
The cover should serve as an announcement for the occasion as many people use the pamphlets as keepsakes. The front page normally has a nice photograph of the honoree, along with their full name and dates of birth and passing. Some families like to add a caption that expresses an appropriate sentiment.
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.
At least one page should be set aside to feature the order of events. The list begins with the entrance procession, introductions and opening remarks, followed by the songs, hymns, passages and poems as they are to be performed. The last things are usually the personal tributes, the eulogy, closing committals, blessings or prayers and the recessional.
Verses and passages should be identified by the works in which they are found and their authors, and musical pieces are also to have their artists or composers credited. The officiant, all speakers and participants need to be noted by name in the printout. This is respectful and lets mourners access the information again at a less stressful time.
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.
