Values Of Having Funeral Program

Most people view a memorial service as their last opportunity to bid farewell to a friend, associate or family member. There are a number of cultural, regional and personal influences that can affect these types of proceedings. Providing a funeral program is one way to let all in attendance understand the order of actions.

This handout may be a couple of pages long or it may simply be a single sheet. It should always contain at least the most basic information about the honoree, such as their complete name, dates of both birth and death, as well as the location and time of the service. Most people also opt to include a favorite picture of the deceased on the cover.

The inside should contain a complete ordered listing, start to close, of how the service will proceed. For each passage, poem or song that is used as a tribute, the title, author and person who is performing it needs to be listed. It would also be a thoughtful gesture to have the obituary included as part of the publication.

This printed order helps whoever is officiating over the services to keep things flowing and to make sure nothing is left out. Fellow mourners are also able to follow along much easier when they have a guide in hand. It is helpful to know how things will proceed and to also be able to revisit any tributes that one finds touching.

A feeling of closure is something a lot of mourners get from these handouts. Some just need some physical token of the occasion to help them understand its finality. There are many ways to grieve and for many, that entails using mementos as a way to cope with their loss.

There are multiple reasons why having an available funeral program available at the services is important. It not only pays homage to the deceased, but it helps those in attendance follow the proceedings. For many individuals, these handouts are keepsakes that assist them in coping with their own sense of loss.
