FUNERAL PRINT SERVICE Things to consider for the Funeral Stationery At this difficult time there are many things to consider… and things can feel quite overwhelming. When compiling the funeral stationary Order of Service, here are a few pointers as to what is included: Front Cover This needs to keep your loved one looking at their best as this is probably one of the last services you will carry out, the image you choose is very important and we advise to use a current photo of the deceased. Usually the name, birth and final dates are on the cover. The address of the service can be added to the front along with the date and time of the funeral. Inside Pages Depending on your content you may choose between 4 and16 pages these could include. The order of the service The order of what will happen at the memorial, including hymns, tributes, poems. Photos, some families choose to have photos showing the deceased life in pictures. This can be in double page spread or scattered around the order of service. You have 7 photos that are included in the price and then additional photos are charged at only £15.00 per photo. Hymns & Prayers The hymns that you would like included in the service, these words would appear in the order of service for guests to join in. Eulogy A eulogy is a speech about your loved one. This speech is usually given during the memorial or funeral ceremony. While it is often given by a close friend or relative of the deceased, it can also be given by a religious leader. giving a Eulogy is a simple conversation about the person who has died.
