How the Free Design Service Works
Send Your Content
Complete the form, upload your wording and photographs, and tell us the funeral date and any design preferences.
Review Your Proof
Typically within 3 hours, we email your full digital proof as a shareable online flipbook. Send the link to family members, ministers or anyone else helping you review the booklet.
Request Changes
Ask for as many changes and revisions as needed. We keep updating the design until you are completely happy, and nothing is printed before you approve it.
Free design service — no payment needed to get started.
What to Send Us
Your wording does not need to be finished, perfectly written or laid out. A Word document, PDF, service outline or clearly written notes are all fine. We can start designing with what you have, then add more wording, photographs or details as they become available, turning everything into a professionally designed booklet.
The main information to get started
- Your loved one’s name and dates
- The funeral date, time and venue
- A main photograph for the cover
- The running order or service outline (if you have it)
- Any hymns, readings, poems or tributes (if you have them)
Optional details you can also include
- Extra photographs for the inside pages
- A preferred colour, flower, theme or template
- Donation information or a charity message
- Wake details and directions
- A thank-you message for the back page
Not sure about the page count?
Leave that to us. Once we see your content, we can recommend whether a 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20-page booklet will work best.

Common Questions
Is the design service really free?
Yes. We design your funeral order of service free when you use our printing service. You only pay for the printed booklets and any delivery option you select.
How quickly will I receive my first proof?
Typically within 3 hours, we will email you a full digital proof presented as an online flipbook.
Can I share the proof with other people?
Yes. The online flipbook has a shareable link, so family members, ministers and anyone else helping with the funeral can review the design before you approve it for printing.
Do you offer free design for other funeral stationery?
Yes. If you need free design help for other funeral stationery or memorial products, visit our free funeral design service page.
Do I need to have all the wording ready?
No. Send what you have. The guides above will help you prepare, and we can organise the information and advise you if anything important appears to be missing.
What if I do not know how many pages I need?
You do not need to decide before completing the form. We will recommend a page count after reviewing the amount of wording and the number of photographs.
Can I request a particular design style?
Yes. You can describe the colours, flowers, theme or style you would like, or choose a design from our template collection as a starting point.
Will you print anything before I approve it?
No. We send you a digital proof first and do not print until you have checked and approved the final design.
I already have finished artwork. What should I do?
You do not need this design service. You can upload your completed artwork directly on our printing page.
