Memorial Service Brochure

A lot of planning goes into making the final arrangements when someone passes away. Creating a memorable gathering which allows friends and family to pay their respects and say their goodbyes is an important task. Things will flow more smoothly when an order of service funeral booklet is given to all in attendance.

This is a printed handout that is given to each guest in attendance at the memorial event. It contains a complete listing of what will happen, who will be speaking, and each type of tribute to be paid. Creating this piece begins by making a series of choices and decisions.

A nice photo should be selected to grace the program's cover. It is best to use something that was taken in the last few years and shows the deceased in a most flattering way. Some prefer black and white photography, though color is recommended because of how it accentuate the picture and tends to soothe those who are grieving.

Decisions about who will officiate the proceedings as well as which oral recitations and musical selections are being performed. For each piece that will be used, it should also be determined who is going to be responsible for their delivery. The final step is placing them in the most appropriate ordering.

The obituary is another item commonly used as part of this type of document. Even though it is normally placed in the public newspaper, including it as part of the program ensures that each attendee has an opportunity to read it. Some people consider these handouts as memorial tokens that help them deal with their loss and consider this extra step quite thoughtful.

Providing an order of service funeral printout is a part of making final arrangements for a lost loved one. It is a fine method of paying tribute to someone who has passed on. This also keeps a memorial gathering flowing per schedule since everyone is aware of what to expect.
