Funeral Order of Service Printing
At Fitting Farewell, we sometimes get asked ‘How did you get into funeral order of service printing?’ by our customers.
The first part of our answer is that we suffered a loss in our family. That person meant a lot to us and we wanted to create something special to remember them by. The second part is that once people had seen what we had done we got requests to do something similar for them.
Non-Religious Funerals and Memorial Services
Not everyone is aware that there are non-Religious funerals and Memorial Services options available. For some families a Humanist, non-religious funeral or memorial ceremony will be the perfect way to remember their loved one.
The person who has died may not have been religious so this could be what they would have wanted or requested. This type of ceremony is more a celebration of the life of your loved one. It still allows you to focus on the person who has died and allows friends and family to attend a service and share their memories. A non-religious service focuses on the life lived, the person and the friends they made on their journey through life. You will be free of many of the restrictions imposed by a religious service or the minister presiding over a religious service.
Create an online memorial
Creating an online memorial site can be quite easy with the rise of social media and sites like Facebook. Facebook can freeze someones page at the request of family members after their death. At Fitting Farewell we always recommend that people consider a specialist website like www.muchloved.com or www.gonetosoon.org when creating an online memorial. These sites are specially designed to help you create a beautiful bespoke online memorial to a loved one.
How to plan a funeral
Planning a funeral can be overwhelming and knowing who you need to contact can be very confusing.

This simple guide covers the key elements to planning a funeral for your loved one. It should help to simplify the process and make things easier at a time of tremendous grief.
Pre-planning a funeral
Planning a funeral for a loved one is a difficult and often upsetting process. However, it can be made slightly more bearable if you and your loved one have pre-planned your funeral beforehand. You never know when you may fall ill or have an accident so it is best to be prepared.
