Here’s a detailed guide to print your funeral order of service:

Paper Type and Finish Recommendations:

Uncoated – Recycled Paper

  • Best for: Eco-conscious families who want a natural, understated look while supporting sustainability.
  • Why Choose It:
    • Recycled, uncoated paper gives a rustic, earthy feel. It has a rougher texture and natural look, making it a great choice for funerals with an eco-friendly focus or a simpler, more personal tone.
    • The uncoated texture may absorb ink slightly more than glossy options, resulting in a more matte and traditional appearance.

Silk Paper (Standard)

  • Best for: Contemporary, clean designs with a bit of elegance.
  • Why Choose It:
    • The silk finish provides a smooth, sleek texture with a slight shine. It gives the booklet a polished and refined look, but without being overly glossy.
    • It’s ideal for those looking for a modern, professional feel without too much glossiness.

Ivory / Cream Paper

  • Best for: Soft, respectful, and timeless designs.
  • Why Choose It:
    • The cream or ivory colour provides a softer alternative to stark white, creating a warm and inviting feel for the booklet.
    • This colour can be particularly fitting for more traditional or conservative funeral services, and pairs well with floral or classic designs.

Finish Options for the Outside Front and Back Cover:

No Lamination

  • Best for: A natural, simple finish.
  • Why Choose It:
    • This gives the booklet a matte, unrefined appearance, which works well for rustic, vintage, or more intimate funeral services.

Smooth Matt Lamination

  • Best for: A refined yet understated finish.
  • Why Choose It:
    • Matt lamination provides a soft, velvety finish that prevents fingerprints and adds a slightly textured feel. It’s a good option for those who want a more subdued, elegant look.
    • The matte finish gives a subtle, non-reflective appearance, making it ideal for more personal, low-key services.

Glossy Lamination

  • Best for: Bright, vibrant, and polished finishes.
  • Why Choose It:
    • Glossy lamination provides a shiny, smooth surface that enhances colours and makes photographs pop. It’s perfect for families who want a sleek, modern look with a more vibrant finish.
    • It’s often used for memorial services where family photos or bright colours are a focal point.

Velvet Lamination

  • Best for: A luxurious, high-end look.
  • Why Choose It:
    • Velvet lamination adds a soft, plush texture to the cover, offering a truly premium feel. This finish is excellent for a more formal or high-end funeral order of service, creating a tactile experience that stands out.
    • It’s ideal for premium designs or those who want a really distinctive, opulent booklet.

Best size for funeral order of service:

When planning a funeral, every detail is important, including the funeral order of service that guests will hold during the service. It’s more than just a program; it’s a keepsake that honours a life and helps guide loved ones through the ceremony.

The most common and recommended size is A5. This format is popular for good reason: it’s easy to handle, affordable to print, and has enough room to include everything most families need.

A5 Size:

- Comfortable to hold and read
- Economical in terms of printing
- Ideal for most services, it can accommodate up to 20 pages of content.

A4 might be a better choice if you wish to include lengthy photo collage, additional readings, or in-depth tributes. It provides you with more room to share the story of your loved one in a larger format.

- Gives additional room for customization
- Ideal for ceremonies with additional visual elements or content

Ideal number of pages for funeral order of service booklets:

Choosing how many pages to include in a funeral program booklet can feel like a small detail, but it’s really about creating space to honour someone’s life in the way that feels right to you.

Most funeral booklets are printed in multiples of 4 pages. You’ll often see options like 4, 8, 12, 16, or 20 pages.


The best choice depends on how much you’d like to share. Sometimes a few simple pages are enough. Other times, families want to include more memories, readings, or photos.

In our experience, the most common options for funeral order of service, is four or eight pages. These are perfect for capturing the essentials like the order of service, a photo, a few words, and perhaps a favourite hymn or poem.

Common page options:

4 pages: a simple and elegant tribute with the basics

8 pages: allows for a little more, like a poem, hymn, or short reading

12, 16 or 20 pages – ideal if you’d like to include more photos, tributes, or special memories

It’s quite normal to occasionally find yourself with a blank page at the end. Many families either utilize to add photos, personal quotes and poems or keep it empty.

There is no right or wrong decision—only what you and your family find significant. We’re here to assist you in making something that genuinely pays tribute to the life and memories of your loved one.

It is common for a funeral order of service to include a picture of the deceased. This can be a recent photograph, or a more nostalgic one from earlier in their life. The choice of photograph is personal and can be determined by the family and loved ones of the deceased.
