What are funeral programs?

Funeral programs are printed booklets that outline the order of events during a funeral or memorial service. They serve as a guide for attendees, providing details on the sequence of service elements such as readings, musical selections, prayers, eulogies, and any other specific rituals to be observed. Beyond their practical use during the service, funeral programs also often include a tribute to the deceased, featuring photographs, a biography, special memories, and acknowledgments from the family. These programs are typically printed on high-quality paper and are kept by attendees as keepsakes to remember the loved one who has passed away. Our funeral programs are designed with care, printed on 100# text stock, and sized at 11×8.5 inches before folding to a convenient 5.5×8.5 inch size, making them both a valuable guide for the service and a cherished memento.

What content will be added to funeral programs?

Funeral programs can include a variety of content that reflects the life of the deceased and the flow of the service. Here’s a comprehensive list of what content is commonly added to funeral programs:

1. Cover Page:
   • The name of the deceased, along with their birth and death dates.
   • A recent or favorite photograph of the deceased.
   • The date and location of the funeral service.
2. Inside Pages:
   • Order of Service: A detailed schedule of the service, including musical selections, readings, prayers, eulogies, and any specific rituals or ceremonies.
   • Officiants and Participants: Names of individuals officiating the service, speakers, performers, pallbearers, and any other participants.
   • Readings and Texts: Full texts or excerpts of readings, scriptures, poems, or songs included in the service.
3. Tributes and Biography:
   • A short biography or obituary of the deceased, highlighting significant events, accomplishments, and personal traits.
   • Personal tributes or memories shared by family and friends.
4. Photographs:
   • Additional photographs of the deceased at different stages of life or showing their interests, hobbies, and memorable moments.
5. Acknowledgments:
   • A section to thank those who have provided support, care, or contributions to the deceased’s family, including mentions of any charitable organizations to which donations can be made in memory of the deceased.
6. Back Cover:
   • Optional closing message, poem, scripture, or a thank you note from the family.
   • Contact information for the family or the funeral home for attendees who may wish to reach out after the service.

The content of a funeral program can be customized to fit the tone of the service, whether it is formal, religious, celebratory, or reflective, and to honor the unique life of the deceased. The goal is to create a meaningful and personal tribute that attendees can cherish and reflect upon.

What sizes are available for funeral programs?

Funeral programs are available in various sizes to accommodate different amounts of content and preferences.

The standard size is 11×8.5 inches, folding down to 5.5×8.5 inches for a compact and traditional format. For those requiring more space, jumbo funeral programs are offered at 17×11 inches, folding to 8.5×11 inches, providing ample room for additional information and images. Other options include the 11×8.5-inch tri-fold format, among others, for a unique presentation.

How many pages should a funeral program have?

The number of pages in a funeral program can vary based on the amount of content you wish to include. Typically, a program might consist of 4 pages for a concise outline or 8 pages for a more detailed tribute. If you have an abundance of content, such as additional photographs, memories, or an extensive biography, you may opt for a longer program. Ultimately, the length of your funeral program depends on the quantity of content you have to share.

Can I Design Funeral Prints Myself?

Yes, many services offer templates that you can customize yourself. This allows for a personal touch, enabling you to choose specific photos, designs, and text that best honor the memory of your loved one. Our editor supports basic and advanced mode editing based on your requirements.

What Are the Best Practices for Choosing Photos for Funeral Prints?

Choose clear, high-quality photos that represent significant aspects of the deceased’s life. Consider using a mix of recent and older photos to showcase a full life lived.

How Many Funeral Prints Should I Order?

Estimate the number of attendees and consider ordering extra copies. Extras can be sent to those who couldn’t attend or kept as keepsakes for the family.

Can I send then digital?

No, FuneralPrintsToday.com specializes in providing printed prayer cards for distribution at funeral services. We believe that the tangible nature of printed cards holds more sentimental value for attendees than digital formats might. However, we can supply PDF files of the prayer cards for you to have them printed at a local print shop if preferred.
