The last thing you want to have to worry about with a funeral is the food. On the other hand, the items printed on your funeral programs should always be very carefully thought out.
A good funeral program will usually consist of the following items:Invocation – Usually offered by a member of the immediate family or a very close friend of the family.
Words of Reflection – Typically offered by someone particularly close to the deceased. Often, there will be two people asked to give this. One should be more serious and the other should have some humor.
Benediction – Again, usually offered by someone close to the family and the deceased.
As for other fillers, many funeral programs will include a musical item performed by family and close friends, or maybe even a slide show.Stick with these program items and you’re sure to have a very respectful funeral.
