A Personalised Funeral Order of Service

Author: Alison Lowe

Coping with the death of a loved one can be an extremely difficult time. In fact, it can be one of the most traumatic and emotional experiences you will ever go through. Whilst you and everyone around you are trying to deal with your grief, you have the added pressure of trying to arrange a funeral service that reflects and respects the wishes of the deceased. Therefore arranging the funeral service can add to your anxiety.

Personalising a funeral service requires time and thought. If the funeral was pre-planned, arranging it can be slightly more manageable. If it wasn’t, the planning will have to include the theme, flowers, stationery, and catering. A personalised order of service for a funeral is a touching way to remember your loved one and therefore can be a very important part of the funeral service.

A personalised order of service can help families, in such difficult times, to commemorate the life of their loved one. Though it outlines what the friends and family members of the deceased can expect at the funeral, tailor-made order of service sheets can also serve as a lasting keepsake. Personalising funeral service sheets can help give your loved one that special send off.

Preparing a bespoke funeral order of service can be a very emotional experience. It is important for the funeral stationery designers to work closely with the family to create a unique order of service that serves as a true reflection of the person’s life. It can provide a summary of their life and include their interests, hobbies or any special events/moments. It can also include photographs, poems, songs, prayers and hymns or anything else you feel would be fitting.

The designers should liaise with the family members to help choose the appropriate theme, colour scheme, photo collages, background images, poems, hymns, fold style, and personal tributes. It is better to work with design firms that have experienced copywriters who can write your stories for you should you require them to. If you would prefer to have a traditional or religious style for your Funeral Order of Service, you can select from various themes including simple cross themes, Jesus and Mary, to candle themes. Experienced funeral stationery designers can also advise on any bible verses, hymns and readings you may wish to include.
