How to Create a FREE Funeral Program

The front cover of a funeral program typically has a picture of the person that passed away with the full name and birth and death dates listed above or below the picture. Sentiments or funeral quotes are also regularly used to give more of a custom feeling to the program. The picture of the person is often customized by erasing the background and/or creating custom fades and masks over the image.

Using Zachary Douglass' built-in photo editing tools makes custom photo editing very easy.

The interior left and right pages of a funeral program typically includes information about the person that passed away and the order of services. This information largely depends on preference and the religious background of the family. The order of the services will usually be listed in the same order of the actual services and may include:

- Birth and death places and dates
- Location and time of services
- Persons conducting or officiating
- Prayers (opening and closing)
- Family Prayer
- Speakers
- Reading of the Eulogy/Obituary
- Stories by family and friends
- Songs/Hymns
- Time and place of interment
- Dedication of Grave
- List of Pallbearers/Honorary Pallbearers
- Poems, scripture verses, sayings, or quotes
- etc.

A library of poems, verses, and text layouts is provided in the Zachary Douglass funeral program editor. Other pictures that the family wants to include can also be edited and inserted anywhere on the page by dragging and dropping. Adding pictures of family, relatives, or close friends on the interior pages often provides a special touch that helps celebrate the life of the person very well.
