The order of service, ready to edit
Start from a common order and change anything: add the hymn names, the readings, who is speaking. It prints inside the program in the same design as the cover.
A traditional order
Processional, welcome, hymns, readings, the obituary, reflections, eulogy, benediction and recessional. Officiants often adjust this; ask them for their order and type it in.
Adding the details
Each line can include a detail, such as the hymn title, the scripture reference, or who is reading or speaking. Guests can follow along, and the family keeps a record of who took part.
The free checklist
If you are gathering the details before you sit down, the blank order-of-service checklist below prints on one page and asks no email address.
