A funeral order of service is a printed document that serves as a guide to the ceremony. It typically contains information about the deceased person, often accompanied by photographs, and outlines the sequence of events during the service to assist attendees in participating.
These booklets are usually A5 in size and can have up to 20 pages or more, distributed to all those present at the funeral.
However, customization options allow you to choose the size, length, content, and layout, allowing you to create a unique or traditional order of service based on your preferences.
