Order Of Service Funeral Wording Purposes

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.

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.

A photograph of the deceased is normally used to adorn the program's cover. Above the likeness is generally placed a sentimental caption. Below the picture is where the honoree's complete name, the days on which they were born and passed away, as well as the information regarding where and when the event takes place is printed.

The inside is where all the details of the event, from start to stop, are listed. This is a welcome assist for anyone who may be unfamiliar with how such proceedings usually progress, especially if a brief description of each step is given. Having everything written down also helps to keep the events flowing smoothly.

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 printout is a helpful tool for guests who want to know the program's details. This is great for those who wish more information on a particular tribute or who are unfamiliar with what to expect on this occasion. Handouts also make a touching keepsake for any mourners who like to put such tokens in scrapbooks or memory boxes.
