Funeral programs can help make your funeral or memorial service very personalized and special. A funeral program, also called memorial service bulletin, or an order of service booklet, is a printed document that tells the events of the funeral or memorial service, and celebrates the important milestones in the life of the deceased. Funeral programs can have a variety of designs, styles and layouts. These programs often serve as a treasured keepsake for friends and loved ones.

The style, design and layout of the program usually reflects you loved one’s personality. Consider choosing a favorite color, flower or theme that your loved one may have preferred. Also, a hobby, such as hiking, golf or sailing, or a favorite memory of beach or mountain scenery may be used. Religious themes are very commonly used as cover designs, with designs ranging from crosses, bible an other religious symbols.

Other information in the program can include funeral poems and quotes, written tributes, song lyrics and bible scriptures. Additional photos and photo collages can be included to give the program even more personalization.

The back cover of the funeral program usually contains information about the pall bearers and flower bearers, if used, and may have special thank you notes and acknowledgments. You may also choose to include information about donations, or receptions or repast information.
