Funeral Program Printing Service
Funeral Program Printing
Welcome to Dave the Printer. We are a local family owned business that has been around for over 50 years. Years ago, we lost Dave’s wife Janie unexpectedly. So we understand the loss of family members and friends. We also understand you need professional looking funeral programs printed quickly as receiving your funeral programs late is the last issue you need to be dealing with. You can trust us. We are here to create and print a funeral program ON TIME that helps celebrate the life of your loved one.
Who should I consult with to gather information for a funeral program?
You will likely need to consult the officiant and/or funeral director to ensure you have an accurate understanding of what will happen during the funeral service. Feel free to consult loved ones for anecdotes or preferences of the deceased. And while the funeral home might have templates and vendors, at Dave the Printer we can create a CUSTOM funeral program quickly.
The list below shows an order of service that would usually outline the funeral proceedings.
- Introduction/Welcoming Words.
- Prayers or Opening Readings.
- Music Selection/Hymns.
- Formal Readings including the Obituary.
- Moment of Silence.
- Eulogy or Life Tribute.
- Informal Tributes.
- Thank you and Acknowledgements.
There are no hard and fast rules for funeral programs but they should reflect your loved ones style and personality. Our funeral programs are all custom – design and create what you want the program to reflect of your loved one.
