Funeral Order Of Service Template

A funeral order of service is a printed program that lists the readings, hymns, and tributes for a funeral ceremony. The template turns that into a ready-made layout with sections already in place, so you spend less time formatting and more time on the words that matter.

Use it whenever you are organizing a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life and want guests to follow the ceremony clearly. The template suits religious and secular services alike. You fill in the details for the person and the day, then download a finished program ready to print.

At minimum it covers the name and dates, the order of readings and hymns, who is speaking, and any music or tributes. Each part is laid out for you, so the finished funeral order of service reads clearly and guests can follow along without confusion.

Family members, funeral directors, and celebrants all use it when arranging a service. Whether you have planned one before or never have, the template makes the task manageable. Because it is easy to adapt, anyone can produce a respectful, polished program under difficult circumstances.

Many families choose to include a photo of the person on the cover or inside, alongside their name and dates. It personalizes the program and gives guests something to remember them by. Our template leaves space for an image, though it is entirely optional to include one.

List them in the order they happen during the ceremony, naming who is reading or singing each one. Keep titles and authors clear so guests can follow along or join in. Our template lays this out section by section, so the sequence stays easy to read.

Once you have finished editing in the OnlyDoc editor, you can export your funeral order of service as PDF, DOC, XLSX, PPTX, JPG, or PNG. That gives you a printable copy for the service and an editable version you can update if details change.
