Write it in
Click any line to type: the name, the dates, the hymns and readings, who gives the tribute. Replace the photo frame with their picture.
Print it
Download the PDF with the four pages at A5 or Half Letter, and print it double-sided or ask a printer to fold it as a booklet.
An order of service, ready to fill in
The funeral program template has four pages, the way a folded order of service is printed: a cover with their photo, name and dates; their life story; the order of service with the hymns, readings and who speaks; and the family's thanks, the pallbearers and the interment.
A celebration of life
For a celebration of life or a memorial, change the cover line and replace the hymns with the songs and tributes of the day.
Printing a booklet
Print the four pages double-sided at A5 or Half Letter, or send the PDF to a printer and ask for an A4 or Letter sheet folded in half.

Questions
How long should the life story be?
Three or four short paragraphs fit one A5 page at a size that is easy to read: where they grew up, their work, their family and what people will remember.
What goes in a funeral program?
Usually the name, the photo and the dates on the cover; a short life story; the order of service with hymns, readings and who speaks; and a thank you from the family with any details for afterwards.
What size is a funeral program?
A5 (148 x 210 mm), made from an A4 sheet folded in half, or Half Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in) from US Letter. Both are here.
