Here is a sample Simple Funeral Program (sometimes called a Memorial Service Bulletin or Obituary Program), which is a printed brochure that may include the cover photograph, the Order of Service, photo collage, information about the funeral or memorial service, the Obituary, poems, and acknowledgments, as well as the Pallbearer Information.

Once you collect the personal information, photos of your loved one, and an Order of Service from your celebrant, you can start writing a funeral service program. Not only does the memorial service program outline what is going to take place at a funeral or memorial service, but a funeral service program can pay tribute to your loved one and help attendees and mourners remember them fondly. If the family members are creating the memorial service program, they should be aware of the person’s life, be given access to photos and an obituary, and be able to reach out to the location where the funeral service is being held.
