Funeral Service Schedule Programs

Making final arrangements for a loved one entails a lot of planning and attention to details. One such duty included in this task is setting up a proper memorial event. Creating an order of service funeral program is quite helpful in keeping things in line.

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.

Begin by selecting a photo of the deceased to be used on the cover. This should be a fairly recent picture that flatters the individual as well as shows their personality. Though black and white is perfectly acceptable, color has a tendency to show up better and adds a more ethereal look to the document, which helps to soothe mourners.

Decisions such as who will be officiating and what musical selections or verbal readings are to be included in the proceedings are key. It will also be necessary to determine who will deliver each oral piece or perform each song. Once all of this has been settled on, the next step is determining at what point they will be used.

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.

Arranging an order of service funeral program is one of the many tasks necessary when someone passes away. It is a lovely way to pay tribute to the one who has passed on. It also helps keep everyone informed as to what is scheduled to occur during the memorial gathering.
