To make their journey of life more memorable, a well-written funeral program has to make.

Many people prefer the church or funeral homes to easily arrange this important document that will play a major key factor for their loved one’s Funeral Service.

In many cases, funeral homes or funeral directors start editing a pre-formatted funeral program that does not match with the person passed away.

To make easy money or to provide these documents in short, they simply edit dates, puts photos and writes a simple obituary.

This practice creates absolutely funeral programs ready to distribute, but think about it, “Do these prepared funeral programs really reflect the story of the life of your loved one?”

Here we will suggest 5 Important things to keep in mind for creating funeral programs for your loved-ones:

This is a very important factor while designing the funeral programs for funeral service.

This sounds easy or not-important that color or simple background image can play an important role in funeral program appearance.

But this is true, this really matters to choose the correct one. Let’s take an example for best describing this point.

In a case, suppose the loved-one was a Male, servicing for US Army in Air Force.

And he loved to play basketball and fishing in the free time with his family. Then, the funeral program background should match with the US Air Force theme.

Somewhere in the program, probably to the next page, an image with backdrop effect can be added to re-present the importance of Basketball and Fishing (a photo with the family will really make it look great).

Writing an Obituary is main part of funeral program creation. Many people or organizations simply put the information in pre-designed Obituary Template like filling-in-the-blanks.

But this not make the obituary focusing on important life highlights of love-one life.

Every person is different, different by culture, different by nature and choices but united by family.

So, when writing an obituary text, make sure to start with like you are lighting a candle “from the beginning”, yes from birth. Write the dates and locations of a person’s birth.  

Put the importance of the birth city for him, after then move to education and some memorable life events in mean.

Don’t directly put marriage dates to close the matter.

This is really important to present these details to the public when you are celebrating his life with your relatives and friends.

Describe what he loved with his family while playing, or something similar like catching fishes, or playing a baseball competition with his cousins or even with his father.

After putting this information, come to the point of love. Yes, without describing the love event of the person, the obituary section will remain in-complete.

Describe the event when they meet up when they got married and if possible describe the importance of each other in their life.

After this section, you can add a family tree describing children’s details and their family information (if they have).
