Top 5 Reasons Funeral Programs Are a
Necessity at the Funeral Service
By Titus Gerard
The funeral program is a publication that can be filled
with an enormous amount of information. I look at the
funeral program as a necessity for the bereaved family.
The publication will convey all of the much needed
information required by visitors and family that attends
the funeral.
First, the printed funeral program can serve as a
memorial keepsake. In many cases, emotions can run
extremely high for those who cannot openly discuss
death. This publication will allow anyone that attends
an opportunity to reflect on their love one in private
manner. In fact, many people who attend the ceremony
look forward to receiving their official copy of the
obituary. It is vitally important to make enough copies
to distribute.
Second, the program can ward off a lot of phone calls to
the bereaved family. This can be an extremely intrusive
to the family having to answer the same questions over
and over. I strongly suggest that the family have the
program designed and printed several days prior to the
service. The main reason for this is to minimize the
contact to the bereaved family, as the pertinent
information will already be listed in the program.
Distributing the programs early can actually work in
your favor.
Third, the funeral program can be vital for overall
directions at the funeral ceremony and at the committal
service. Listing all the service information is another
great idea, not only will it relay the order of service
but you can also list burial information. Guest that
attends the funeral like to know exactly what is going
on and what time they need to be at the various events.
Having this information readily available will relieve
the funeral director and family from having to repeat
this information over and over.
Fourth, the collected obituary data is a great source of
information for the bereaved and extended family for
genealogy purposes. On many occasions family members
didn't even realize they are related to the decease or
other family members. The obituary provides a great
source of information which allow you examine the family
genealogy. Many hours of preparation and energy go into
the research of family history by listing them as
survivors in the obituary. You stand to learn more about
your family history as well as important information you
may have never known.
The last reason why funeral programs are a great
necessity at the funeral service is the funeral memorial
keepsake. Many people collect funeral programs for many
different reasons. Most that attend the funeral just
want a remembrance of the decease. As simple as it
sounds they really just want a keepsake from the funeral
to reflect on the decease in years to come. This simple
gesture makes a world of difference for many people. As
I have already fore stated, there are a number of people
who really don't know how to deal with death and the
passing of a love one. It is best to allow those the
time and space they need to mourn privately.
