Selecting a Funeral Program Template or Memorial Service Template Design

These few questions will help you to select a memorial or funeral program template that fits your loved ones personality.  The right design teamed with the perfect funeral poem, prayer or scritpture can be the perfect memorial keepsake.

1. What best matches your loved one’s personality?  Simple, straight-forward, conservative (subtle shades of softer colors, such as pink and lavender) or wild and adventurous (splashes of red, purple, and orange).
 
2. Is there a particular funeral poem, funeral reading, or religious text that offers consolation to you or meant a great deal to your loved one?  Often, personalized letters and notes are included in the funeral program.

3. If you wish to include a picture, do you want a recent photo of your loved one, or perhaps an older photograph such as a photo from a wedding, from high school, or the military?

4.  Would you like to include family photos (such as photo collages) in the funeral program?

4. Did your loved one participate in a special hobby or hold a unique position of which he or she was particularly proud, and do you feel it may be appropriate to include such a theme in the funeral program template?

5. Do you wish to have a listing of special life events (e.g. graduations, marriages, military service/awards, jobs, volunteer service, and retirement) included in the funeral program?

6. Do you wish to have a listing of family members, both living and pre-deceased, included in the funeral program?  Will you publish the obituary in your funeral program?
