What Is a Funeral Program?

A funeral program is a printed or digital booklet distributed at a memorial or funeral service. It includes details such as the order of service, obituary, photos, and personal tributes. These programs serve both as a guide for the ceremony and a keepsake for family and friends.

Why Are Funeral Programs Important?

Funeral programs help attendees follow the service and reflect on the life of the deceased. They can be personalized with colors, photos, scriptures, and poems to create a lasting tribute.
