A funeral order of service is a booklet shared with people attending the funeral and those who cannot be there. It lists what will happen during the service, such as readings, hymns, tributes, and songs.
The booklet usually includes a front cover, welcome & Introduction, readings, hymns or songs, eulogies, prayers, and any special traditions important to their loved one’s culture or faith.
The order of service helps everyone follow along during the ceremony. It also helps families ensure the service honours their loved one's life and memory.
The funeral order of service often has personal touches that show who the person was. Families might add photos, favourite quotes, poems, or special music. By making the service unique, families can say a more personal and heartfelt goodbye. The booklet is usually printed and given to guests as a keepsake, so they can remember their loved one and reflect on the ceremony.
The front cover is the first thing attendees notice when they arrive. It should be clear, dignified, and personal. Keep it simple, since a crowded cover usually feels less impactful than a more restrained design.
Title or heading: To set the tone for the service, a title or heading such as "In Loving Memory," "Celebrating the Life of," or "A Service of Remembrance" can be included.
A photograph - A photo of your loved one is often included. Usually, it is recent or best represents thier personality or interests.

Their date of birth and date of passing - Format: 30th of October 1920 - 25th of May 2026
The location, date, and time of the service
An optional short quote, verse, or phrase
The name of the individual carrying out the service
Funeral Order of service booklets are usually A5 (148 × 210 mm), printed on heavyweight card (usually 350gsm), and range from 4 to 20 pages.
Selecting a photograph for your loved one can help the family gather and look through old photographs.
Try to pick a photo where your loved one is the main focus. It is also an ideal time to remember your loved one's personality and character. If you select more than one photograph, you can always add additional photographs throughout the Order of Service.
The inner pages include funeral service details and range from two to ten pages or more, depending on the service length. Ensure you have enough space if you want to include extra photos in the booklet. The ceremony's structure is a matter of personal preference, and no specific format is required. Generally, the service leader will help determine the sequence and necessary inclusions. Here is an example of an Order of Service inside pages:
Entrance Music
Introduction and Welcome
Readings, blessings, or prayers
Photo Collages
The eulogy or Life Tribute
Hymn, Prayer or Verse
Commendation & Farewell
Committal
Dismissal and Blessing
Exit Music
The back page typically includes a recent photo at the top of the page. A small thank-you message thanking family and guests for attending, and it may include the address for the gathering/refreshments after the service.
If you have chosen a charity for your loved one, you can include a message to direct family and friends to donate. Here is some example wording for the back page, which you can either copy and paste or edit to suit
