The news of a family member’s death is certainly
heartbreaking. Creating a funeral programme might be very hard if you are in
the process of mourning the death of a member of your family. But thanks to the
Internet, there are now lots of resources that can help you with the process of
creating the programme. There are free templates available for you to use. Here
are some tips on creating the programme.

| Funeral Programme for the Deceased |
Brainstorm
Brainstorming is the first step to creating any type of
funeral programmes. So gather friends and family members and ask everyone to
write down their fond memories of the deceased and have them include messages
for the deceased person.
The process might be emotional but sharing your feelings to
everyone in the family can somehow help to ease the pain. There should be
someone who will be tasked to collate all the messages which will soon be
included on the programme.
Design
The next step is to think of a theme for the overall design
of the funeral programme. This could be something that is related to the
deceased or some of his or her interests. For instance, if the deceased person
loved to play basketball, then you can make use of the basketball theme as the
overall design of the programme.
You can also attach a photo of him while playing the game or
perhaps an image of his jersey. The color should be something that was the
favorite of the deceased. So if he loved the shade of blue then make use of
that as the color of the text, the border, etc. Basically, the key here is to
come up with a programme with a design that can relate to the deceased person.
Template
To make the task easier, refer to the templates of funeral
programmes in the World Wide Web. These templates are so easy to use and some
sites will provide instructions and video demonstrations that can serve as your
guide. All you need to do is to edit them and then print them on a special type
of paper.
What’s even better is that most of these templates are free
to use so you will not spend anything except for the paper that you will use
and the ink for printing. The templates come in different designs and you can
choose whatever type of layout you want for the funeral programme¸ whether it
is bi-fold, tri-fold, or quad fold.
In this day and age of the Internet, preparing for the
memorial service of a deceased family member is no longer as hard as it was
before. All you basically need to do is to search for templates that you can
use. This is great for those who can’t seem to find time in creating the
programme from scratch. As you know, getting over from the loss of a dear
family member is not that easy and it might be a bit hard to create funeral
programmes for the upcoming memorial service.
Thank you for the advice on how to create a funeral program for a family member. The last time we had a family member pass was several years ago and I remember it being very difficult, partly because we just did not know how to honor them. I hope we have a long time before our next funeral, but my grandmother is getting pretty old and we want to be ready so we can honor her memory and help each other through the loss by choosing the right funeral home and making the correct burial arrangements. http://www.bowraodea.com.au
