How to Choose the Best Funeral Program Option for Your Loved One
When you’re organizing a funeral for a loved one, the number of choices can be overwhelming. From what music to play down to the funeral stationery, it seems like there are so many decisions to make.
The item that will most reflect your loved one is the funeral program, so you will be mindful of getting it just right.

A beautifully designed and printed funeral program will serve not only as a guide to the funeral but also as a precious memento of the deceased.
Let’s look at the options for funeral programs and compare the cost, demand on your time, and personalization to help identify the best fit for you.
Option #1: Do It Yourself
If you are creative, you can design a funeral program template yourself.
To achieve a professional-looking result, you’ll need to use design software like InDesign or Photoshop. You will also have to put in the hours to produce a funeral program design that is worthy of your loved one.
Once you’re happy with your design, you should source good quality paper to print your design onto and use a high-tech printer to produce the finished result.
While this option is likely the least costly, it will certainly be the most time-consuming when you will already be juggling many different tasks.
Option #2: Use a Print Company
At the other end of the spectrum, you can enlist the help of a company that specializes in funeral program printing and design.
The result should be an attractive funeral program that reflects the funeral service and the unique personality of your loved one.
This can be a great option if you don’t have the time or skills to design your own template. Knowing that your funeral program is in the hands of professionals can be a comfort at a busy time.
If you don’t mind handing over creative control and are prepared to pay toward the top end of the range for your funeral stationery, this is an appropriate option.

Option #3: Combine Your Own Creativity with Professional Services
If you’re wondering whether to combine the first two funeral program ideas, then our third option is perfect for you.
Our “create your own” design portal lets you choose a template that best reflects the deceased and personalize it with details of the funeral service and your loved one’s life, a photograph, and finishing touches such as a well-loved quote or poem.
The portal allows several family members to access the design wherever they are. Then, once everyone has agreed on the funeral program, it can be printed on high-quality paper and shipped to you without delay.
It’s an affordable option that gives you the flexibility you need to create the perfect funeral program for your loved one. In fact, it’s exactly what we offer here at Funeral Prints!
