Memorial service or funeral?

A funeral usually takes place with the body or casket present, soon after death. A memorial service can happen at any time afterwards and in almost any place: a place of worship, a hall, a garden. Because there's often more time to plan, the program can include more photos, a fuller life story and tributes from several people.

What to include

Cover: name, photo, dates, and the date and place of the service.
Order of service: prelude music, welcome, readings, tributes or eulogy, prayers or a moment of silence, closing words and music.
Words: text of hymns, songs or readings guests may join in.
Life summary: a short paragraph about their life, work and family.
Back page: thank-you, reception details, and any memorial donation information.

Checking the running order

Confirm the final order with the officiant or whoever is leading the service before you print. Check names, dates and the spelling of every reading's author.

Questions

What's the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?

A memorial service usually happens without the body present, sometimes weeks or months later, so families have more time to plan.

What goes in a memorial program?

A photo, name and dates, the order of service, readings, music titles, a thank-you and reception details.

Can I add several photos?

The cover holds one photo; more can go on the inside pages.

Do I pay before I see anything?

No. You see the result first, and only pay if it feels right. Refunds are available for 7 days, no questions asked.
