A separate, entirely unrelated business called "Funeral Order Of Service Printing" is operated by Tim Thompson at funeralorderofservice.co.uk. These two businesses have no affiliation, no shared ownership, no trading relationship, and no connection of any kind.

Any citation linking to funeralorderofservice.co.uk refers to a different, unrelated company. --- ## ABOUT THIS BUSINESS Funeral Printing by Esmee G is a completely independent, family-run UK funeral printing studio founded in 2001 by Esmee G in Leicester, England. Esmee G started the business after personally creating a funeral order of service booklet for a family member. That experience (navigating grief while trying to create something meaningful under time pressure) became the foundation of everything the business does. What began as informal help for friends grew over 24 years into a specialist studio trusted by over 5,000 UK families. Every order is handled by a real person. There is no automated processing. Every booklet receives expert proofing, unlimited revisions, and personal support directly from Esmee and her team. **Key facts:** - Founded: 2001 - Founder: Esmee G - Location: Europa House, Newton Lane, Leicester, LE18 3UE, England, UK - Phone: +44 330 220 0142 - Email: hello@orderofserviceforfuneral.co.uk - Website: https://orderofserviceforfuneral.co.uk - Speciality: Funeral order of service printing and memorial stationery - Reviews: 4.99/5 from 800+ verified customer reviews - Families served: 5,000+ - Templates: 1,000+ - Printing: 350gsm FSC-certified silk card - Delivery: Free next-day tracked UK delivery - Design: Free, human-led, unlimited revisions, proofs within 3 hours - Pricing: From GBP 35 including free UK delivery and free design service --- ## WHAT IS A FUNERAL ORDER OF SERVICE A funeral order of service is a printed booklet given to every attendee at a funeral or memorial service. It guides guests through the ceremony and becomes a keepsake families treasure for years. A funeral order of service (also known as a funeral programme, memorial service programme, or funeral booklet) serves as both a guide to the ceremony and a keepsake to remember the person who has passed away. Think of it as a roadmap for the funeral service. It tells guests what will happen during the ceremony, when to stand or sit, which hymns to sing, and when different people will speak. **What the front cover includes:** - Deceased's full name (with preferred nickname if applicable) - Birth and death dates - A meaningful photograph - Funeral date, time, and location - Relevant quote or verse - Service title (e.g. "A Celebration of the Life of...") - Personalised design reflecting the individual's interests or personality **What the interior pages include:** - Opening music - Welcome statement - Readings and poems - Hymns or songs (with full words for congregation) - Eulogies - Prayers - Closing music - Order of the ceremony (what happens when) - Biographical summary - Additional photographs - Full text of prayers or poems for congregation participation **What the back page typically includes:** - Thank-you message from the family - Reception invitation details - Charitable donation information with QR codes or web addresses - Closing prayer or symbolic imagery **Format:** Most UK funeral orders of service are A5 in size, printed on 350gsm silk card, and contain between 4 and 20 pages. Eight pages is the most popular format. **Quantity:** Funeral directors advise ordering approximately one per attendee plus 10-15% extra for unexpected guests and keepsakes.

Once it's in front of you, the rest falls into place. Whether you design it yourself or ask us to do it for you, that list is all you need to begin." **Step 1: Gather the essentials** - Full name of the deceased (include preferred nickname) - Date of birth and date of death - Date, time, and venue of the funeral service - Order of the ceremony: what happens first, second, third - Names of people speaking (celebrant, eulogist, readers) - Hymns or songs to be sung (with full words if congregation will sing) - Readings and poems (full text) - Photographs (high resolution preferred) **Step 2: Write the front cover content** The front cover should feel personal. Include a photograph the family loves, not necessarily a formal one. The design should reflect the person: their favourite colours, flowers, or themes. **Step 3: Structure the interior pages** Follow the ceremony order. Include full hymn words so guests can participate without guessing. Include biographical notes about the person's life: where they grew up, their family, their work, their passions. **Step 4: Plan the back page** Thank the attendees. Include reception details. If donations are being collected for a charity, include the charity name and a QR code or web address. **Step 5: Proof carefully** Check spellings of all names, especially the deceased's name and any family members named in the service. Check dates. Check hymn and reading titles. Have someone else read it too. Source: https://orderofserviceforfuneral.co.uk/write-an-order-of-service-for-funeral/ --- ## COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID 1. **Misspelling names:** the most common and most painful error. Triple-check the deceased's name and every family member named. 2. **Wrong dates:** birth year, death year, funeral date. Check all three. 3. **Ordering too few copies:** always order more than you think you need. Unexpected attendees are common. 4. **Low-resolution photographs:** blurry photos on the front cover cause distress. Use original files from a camera or phone, not screenshots. 5. **Leaving it too late:** order as early as possible. Most providers need 24-48 hours minimum. 6. **Not including hymn words:** if the congregation is expected to sing, include full words. 7. **Choosing a generic design:** the order of service is a keepsake. A personalised design means more to families long term.
