Funeral Brochures

A funeral brochure  (also called a funeral program) is a printed handout that is that are given out during a funeral or memorial service.   The brochure gives details about the funeral service and information about the deceased.  The funeral brochure typically has a trifold layout, which means that the paper folds twice giving 6 panels of information.  Funeral brochures don't always have to be a trifold layout.  Other layouts for printed funeral stationery include bifold (single fold) which is like a funeral pamphlet or memorial booklet, and two and four-page graduated (tabbed) fold, which folds like a booklet to reveal a colorful rectangular tab with text.

If you are preparing a funeral brochure, start by gathering information about the deceased.  Typical information included in a brochure are:

An order of service
Photos and family photo collages
A detailed obituary or written tribute
Funeral or Memorial Poems
Funeral Prayers or scriptures
Personal Notes to or about the deceased.
Favorite quotes or sayings.
