What To Expect When Planning Funeral Program

Because not all burial processes are the same, it helps to have a something that can help guide those in attendance through each step. For those unfamiliar with what to expect, this assistance can make an already emotional situation just a little more comfortable. Creating a funeral service program can be done rather quickly once key decisions have been made.

Many people choose to keep these handouts as sentimental tokens of memorial services, so the cover should announce the occasion. The name of the deceased, along with the dates they lived and their photograph, usually grace the document's front. Some may opt to include a title or caption along the lines of "In Loving Memory Of.." as well.

As each event is different, the inside should be customized to fit the individual being honored. Additional photographs, favored poems and verses as well as the order of actions can all be included as desired. Many people find having the obituary printed on one of the pages to be an especially touching sentiment.

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.
