Are you looking for a funeral order of service template? There are plenty of companies who offer a basic template online as part of an automated process and leave you to try and make it look good.
We speak to people who spent ages adding low quality photos, or trying to remove things, or people, in the background of photos. They were left to try and source hymns from the internet which may be incorrect or have verses missing. Customers, with no design experience, are just left to get on with it and at the end of the process generate a PDF, pay online, and if there are any mistakes, it is always down to the customer.
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.
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.
Christmas is a time to remember someone special. Every year Alison and I attend a Christmas Remembrance Service which is organised by one of our Funeral Directors. It is a fantastic way to remember those we have lost at a time which is very much focused on families.
