Planning a service is hard enough without designing a program from scratch, and these templates take that task off your plate. This collection of 38 funeral program layouts helps grieving families and funeral homes assemble the order of service, the obituary, photos, and a poem or scripture into a dignified keepsake for those who attend. Having a ready structure lets you focus on remembering the person rather than wrestling with formatting.
The designs are editable in Word so you can add names, dates, and a life story, and they export as print-ready PDFs for a bi-fold or tri-fold booklet. Print them at home on quality paper or send the file to a local print shop for a finished look. Choose a style that reflects your loved one and create a gentle tribute to hand out at the service.

What is included in a funeral program?
A funeral program usually includes the order of service, the name and dates of the deceased, a photo, the obituary or life summary, and any readings, hymns, or poems. It may also list family members, pallbearers, and details for a reception, giving attendees a guide to the service.
What is the typical order of service in a funeral program?
A common order opens with a prelude or processional, followed by an opening prayer, readings or scripture, hymns or musical selections, the eulogy, remarks from family or friends, a closing prayer, and the recessional. The exact sequence varies by faith, tradition, and the family's wishes.
Who prepares a funeral program and how far in advance?
Family members often prepare the funeral program, sometimes with help from the funeral home or a faith leader. Because services are usually held within days, the program is typically assembled quickly. Gathering the photo, obituary, and order of service early makes the process less stressful during a difficult time.
