Order of Service (Program)

Mangano Family Funeral Homes • January 23, 2023

The day of a funeral can be a stressful time for the family of the deceased as well as for the people who are there in attendance. Everyone wants to make sure that the family is feeling as best as they can, while also trying to keep their feelings in line. This makes things very difficult. One thing that can help cause the anxiety and stress of the moment is to make sure that everyone is aware of what is happening that day. One way of doing this is making sure that the program that is handed out has all of the day's happenings on it. This will ensure that everyone knows what is going on and can help to create some sort of calm at the funeral. If you and your family are looking for a way to create programs for a funeral, you can contact cremation services in Deer Park, NY. They would love to help you with all that you need.

Programs


A funeral program is a piece of paper that has the layout of the funeral on it. This will help to tell the people who have come to the funeral what is going to happen on the day.

What Does a Program Look Like?


There isn’t one way for the program to look. And if you are working with a funeral home to produce the program, then they will give you options of what you can have. Below are some examples of what they can look like, and the different things that are often added to them.

  • One Sheet of Paper – While there are numerous ways for the program to look, many people will opt for the option that is just one sheet of paper. Oftentimes, it can be laminated, or it is made of thick paper so that it does not rip easily.
  • Folded/Trifold – maybe the most popular option is trifold. This makes the program into a pamphlet of sorts. There is the cover, the inside, and then the back cover. How you want to design each page of the program is up to you as the family of the deceased. You should include what you feel is most important.
  • Bookmarks – There is also the option for bookmarks. These are usually taller and much bigger than the regular bookmark, but they will contain the program and flow of service on the front of them. This is another great option for those who want to have a funeral program.

What Should Be Included?

  • Name – Somewhere on the front of the program, the name of the deceased should be clear to see. Many families will even want to add a nickname that the deceased was called.
  • Dates of Birth and Death – You will want to make sure that the correct dates of their birth and date are added as well.
  • Order of Events – On the inside, a rundown of how the event will proceed is very important. It should include what is happening, and who will be performing each part
  • Obituary – One page is often meant to hold the obituary which has been written by the family.
  • Information About Burial/Cemetery – You will want to add information about the funeral home or cemetery that you have used. This way people will know where to visit if they do not follow the procession after the event.


Creating a program is a great way to help the guests at the funeral keep up with what is going on. If you need to know more about programs, you can contact cremation services in Deer Park, NY.
