How to Design a Funeral Order of Service
At Fisk Printers, we understand that creating an order of service for a funeral is a deeply personal task. There is no right or wrong way to put one together—each is unique and reflects the individual being remembered. This is a guide to help you get started, but remember, we are always here to help you with the design if you need us.

The Cover Page
Many people choose to include the following elements on the cover of their order of service:
- Venue: The location of the service.
- Photograph: A cherished photograph of your loved one.
- Dates: The date of birth and date of passing along with the date of the ceremony.
You can also opt to add some additional design work or images to help set the tone for the remembrance and celebration.

The Inside Pages for the Running Order of the Service
The inside pages usually outline the sequence of the service. These are some common elements you might put in:
- Welcome Message: A brief greeting or message from the family or officiant.
- Hymns/Songs: Titles and lyrics of hymns or songs that will be sung during the service.
- Readings: Any readings, poems, or scripture passages that will be shared.
- Eulogy: Space for the eulogy, which is often delivered by a family member or close friend.
- Additional Tributes: Any other tributes, such as a slideshow or special music performances.

Personalise It and Make It Your Own
Remember there are no right or wrong answer, this is your opportunity to create a heartfelt tribute. Feel free to include personal touches such as:
- Favorite Quotes: A quote that reflects your loved one’s personality or beliefs.
- Photographs: Additional photographs that capture special moments and memories.
- Thank You Message: A note of thanks to those who have supported you during this time.
- Donations: Details of any charities there may be collections for on the day.
- Funeral Reception or Wake: Locations and address for people to meet after.
