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.
