Bio : Written by Esmee G, Founder & Lead Designer at Order of Service for Funeral.
Esmee G has many years of experience in funeral order of service design and printing, specialising in creating bespoke funeral stationery that honours loved ones with dignity and care. Having helped over 5,000 families across the UK craft meaningful tributes during their most difficult times, Esmee understands the profound importance of compassionate design in funeral services.
As the founder of Order of Service for Funeral, Esmee started her journey after personally designing a funeral order of service booklet for a family member. What began as a heartfelt personal project quickly grew into a dedicated business, driven by the realisation that high-quality, custom funeral stationery can provide comfort and closure. Today, Esmee leads a team of specialists, overseeing everything from template creation to final proofs, ensuring every booklet reflects the unique story of the deceased.
Her expertise lies in blending emotional sensitivity with professional printing techniques, offering services like free design consultations, next-day UK delivery, and a wide range of templates (religious, modern, floral, and more). Esmee’s empathetic customer focussed approach guides families through appropriate wording, photo selection, and layout choices, making the process as stress-free as possible.
Whether it’s a simple 4-page order of service or a comprehensive 20-page funeral booklet, Esmee’s work has earned hundreds of 5-star reviews for its thoughtfulness and reliability.
Funeral directors and celebrants often asks for Esmee’s expertise for layout, design, and funeral printing recommendations, ensuring each booklet is professionally presented and printed to a high standard. She believes that every funeral order of service should not only clearly guide the ceremony but also serve as a lasting keepsake for family and friends.
