What is a funeral program?
A funeral program is a printed document given to attendees at a memorial service. It outlines the order of events, provides a brief biography of the person being remembered, includes photographs, and serves as a lasting keepsake for the family.
In the United States, funeral programs are also known as memorial programs, celebration of life programs, funeral bulletins, or funeral service programs. The standard format is a single US Letter sheet (8.5″ × 11″) folded in half to create a four-page booklet. Larger services may use an 8-page or 12-page booklet format.
A professional funeral program typically takes 2–3 days to receive from a print shop and costs $50–$150 for a minimum print run. Our instant download templates give you the same professional result in under an hour, for $22.

What to include in a funeral program
A complete funeral program includes the full name and dates of the deceased, a photograph, a brief biography, the order of service, and a closing poem or message from the family.
- Name and dates The full name of the deceased — first, middle, and last — their date of birth, and date of passing. Some families include a nickname or the name they were known by at church or in the community.
- Photograph A favourite portrait or a recent photograph printed large on the cover. Our templates include a dedicated photo placeholder sized and positioned for a clear, high-quality print.
- Order of service The sequence of events: welcome, opening prayer or reading, musical selections, eulogy, committal, and recessional. This section helps attendees follow along during the service.
- Closing message A final note from the family, a meaningful quote, or a poem that captures the spirit of the person being remembered.

What families say about our templates
While we'd tried doing our own funeral program in Word, it just didn't work well. The template we purchased and used here was easier to use than anything else we looked at online. We were very happy with it.
