Funeral Order Of Service Examples Programs

Memorial events are commonly filled with a lot of emotion as people say farewell to a dear friend. It can be difficult for attendees to understand the proceedings without some type of guide. Having a funeral order of service program printed and ready to hand out to guests can make everything much simpler.

There are multiple purposes for this item, the foremost being as a way to let everyone know what to expect. It is a step by step listing of what is scheduled to occur during the event. This item also provides information about the songs, poems, passages and speakers used during the proceedings.

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.

Creating a funeral order of service program is a thoughtful way of allowing all guests to follow along with the proceedings. This is especially useful for attendees who may not be familiar with what to expect. It also serves as a token that each mourner can take away as a memorial keepsake of someone they have lost.
