How a funeral program is laid out

These are the main places for your material in a folded program. Keep the layout simple enough for guests to follow and read.

Cover

The name, dates, and a photo introduce the person being remembered. A short heading identifies the type of gathering.

Obituary

An inside page holds the life story and family remembrance. Longer stories may need the 8-page booklet.

Order of service

An inside page lists the service sequence and participants. For detailed planning, use the order of service examples.

Back cover

The sample closes with a short remembrance from Eleanor’s children and the family’s thanks. Use the content checklist to gather your own details.

Funeral program template FAQ

Can I use these templates for a memorial service?

Yes. You can use a memorial service program template with the same guided builder. Change the heading, service details, wording, and photos to reflect the gathering, then check every page in the proof.

Can I make a celebration of life program?

Yes. Choose a design that suits the person, use celebration of life wording, and enter the order agreed with the person leading the gathering. Review names, dates, and the full program before printing.

Is the funeral program template free?

You can build and review a free watermarked preview. A print-ready PDF costs $19.99 for a 4-page folded program or trifold, or $39.99 for an 8-page booklet. Physical printing is separate.

Can I export the program as a Word document?

No. This builder exports a print-ready PDF, not an editable Word document. If you need a .docx file, choose a Word template instead.

Can I see a complete sample funeral program?

Yes. The four Sample images show a complete fictional program for Eleanor Margaret Hayes, generated with the Gallery Grid template. They show the cover, obituary, order of service, and back cover so you can review the whole printed piece.
