Funeral and Celebration of Life Programs, Printed With Care
When you are planning a service for someone you love, the program should be one less thing to worry about. Flyover Print prints funeral programs, memorial programs and celebration of life programs in full color, as a classic folded program or a stapled booklet with room for photos, the obituary and the order of service. Order 25 to 1,000 programs, choose next-day production for up to 250, and upload your own file or let our art team design it with you. Every program is printed in-house in Highland, Indiana.
Which program style do you need?
| Style | Pages | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Folded 5.5" x 8.5" | 4 | The classic program: photo and name on the cover, order of service and obituary inside |
| Folded 8.5" x 11" | 4 | More room for a large photo, a longer obituary and the order of service |
| Booklet 5.5" x 8.5" | 8, 12 or 16 | A keepsake with photo pages, a poem or scripture and acknowledgments |
| Booklet 8.5" x 11" | 8, 12 or 16 | The most room for photo collages, tributes and a full life story |
Booklets are stapled on the left and trimmed clean. A 4-page folded program is one sheet folded in half; every booklet step adds 4 more pages.
What goes in a funeral program?
- Cover: a favorite photo, full name, dates of birth and passing, and the service date, time and place.
- Order of service: prelude, processional, hymns, scripture, prayer, tributes, eulogy and recessional.
- Obituary: the life story, family and those who went before.
- Poem or scripture: a favorite verse, poem or song lyric.
- Pallbearers and honorary pallbearers.
- Acknowledgment: a thank you from the family.
- Interment and repast: where the burial and meal will be held.
How many programs should you print?
A good rule of thumb is to plan for the number of guests you expect, plus about 10 to 20 percent for family keepsakes, people who arrive late and those who could not attend. Funeral homes and churches can often help estimate attendance. You can order from 25 to 1,000 programs.
Let us design it for you
You do not need to have a finished file. Choose "Yes, Please Contact Me" under Need Design Help when you order and our art team will reach out. We will quote any design work before we start. Send us the photos, the wording and the order of service, and we will build the program, send you a proof to approve, then print it. If you already have a file, upload one PDF with the pages in reading order (5.75" x 8.75" or 8.75" x 11.25" pages for booklets, or the outside and inside spreads for folded programs, all with 1/8" bleed).
Please tell us the service date when you order so we can help you choose the right production time.
