A funeral pamphlet is more than a schedule — it’s a printed tribute.
Whether you're planning a memorial service or celebration of life, this checklist will help you create a thoughtful, meaningful program your loved ones will treasure.
✅ 1. Full Name, Birth & Death Dates
Start with the basics. Include the person’s full name, and their birth and death dates. You can also add a short line like “In Loving Memory” or “Forever in Our Hearts.”
✅ 2. Cover Photo
Choose a high-quality, smiling photo of your loved one. Center it on the cover and keep it simple — this image sets the emotional tone.
✅ 3. Order of Service
Outline the ceremony step by step. Common elements:
-
Opening music
-
Welcome message
-
Prayers or scripture
-
Eulogy
-
Special tributes
-
Closing
✅ 4. Obituary or Life Story
Write a brief overview of your loved one’s life. Share important milestones, passions, and what made them unique.
✅ 5. Family & Acknowledgments
List close family members and thank anyone who helped organize the service — clergy, friends, caregivers, etc.
✅ 6. Quotes, Poems, or Bible Verses
A few words can provide comfort. Choose a favorite verse, line from a poem, or meaningful quote.
✅ 7. Closing Photo or Back Cover
Use a different photo — often one from earlier in life — with a soft farewell message such as:
“Until we meet again…”
“Forever loved, never forgotten.”
