Funeral Order Of Service Examples Purposes

A lot of emotions are typically present on occasions where people gather to bid a final farewell to someone they knew. With so many variations in styles, it may be difficult for guests to know what to expect from the proceedings. This is one reason printing a funeral order of service program is so important.

Letting guests know what is happening is the primary purpose for this handout. It provides a complete guide to what action follows another and a brief description of each. This is also the forum for listing each tribute that will be paid, whether it be a speaker, a song, a reading or musical piece.

The front of the program is where a favorite photo of the deceased is placed. Below the picture should be printed the honoree's full name, their dates of birth and death, followed by the place and the time the event will take place. The top of the page typically has a memorial caption.

Inside the program is a carefully organized list of events as they are scheduled to happen, starting with the opening remarks and ending with closing prayers or comments. Having things clearly listed in this fashion is especially helpful to those who may not be familiar with how these proceedings go since there are a lot of variations. It also assists the officiant with keeping control.

Some commonly used elements for memorial events are songs or hymns and literary passages or verses that were special to the deceased. Having them listed in the program lets all the guests know what the tribute pieces are. One should always take care to ensure that every piece is properly titled and that credit is given to the composer, author and presenter of each.

The funeral order of service is a useful way to make everyone aware of what will be happening during the memorial event. It makes even those who are not well versed in the subject feel included. Those who choose to keep tokens for memory boxes or scrapbooks often find these items to be perfect for such a purpose.
