Ideas for Funeral handouts
Funeral Handouts contain details of the funeral service, sometimes readings and photos.
If you are writing your own funeral handout/program - you'll want to consider including some of the following:-
- a little personal information - achievements that you are proud of
- funeral hymns that you would like included
- funeral poems or readings that you would like
- any speakers that you would like to deliver the eulogy
Please remember to leave a copy of your pre-written funeral handout/program somewhere safe where your family will find it. Don't leave it anywhere secure that will be inaccessible in the event of your death. Do make sure that the executor of your will knows it's location.
Creating your funeral handouts
It is traditional in the UK to have a photograph on the front of the handout with the dates of their life on the front.
Inside, the order of service, including the words of any hymns or songs; any prayers to be said together; together with the names of those doing readings, prayers or eulogies.
