FAQs

Do you read the whole obituary at a funeral? ›

During a funeral or memorial service, it is common for someone to stand up and read the obituary to the attendees. This reading may be performed by a family member, a close friend, or a designated individual.

Heavier and thicker paper will make the funeral program look more splendid and feel more formal. Try using 22 or 24-pound paper instead of ordinary copier paper. Meanwhile, 28 to 32-pound paper may be a better choice for you – it is crisp and professional and will look as classy as it will be touching.

In a eulogy, do not say anything about the person's cause of death, grudges and old grievances, arguments, character flaws, family rifts, or negative memories. Instead, share good memories and leave it out when in doubt.

Why does it cost so much to post an obituary? Publishing an obituary in the newspaper is expensive because of the limited space papers have. Newspapers value every inch of each page, so they must charge to use that limited space for an obituary.

Announce the death and include their full name, age, hometown, and date of death. Include a brief summary of their life. Mention family members who have already passed away, as well as surviving family members. Share funeral or memorial service details, including whether they are public or private events.

Also called memorial folders or bulletins, the funeral program is a folded pamphlet. Funeral programs usually include the order of service, which are the details of what will take place during the funeral or memorial service. Funeral programs are often printed on a decorative piece of paper folded in half.

Whether it is a Funeral Mass or a Funeral Service there can be either 2 or 3 readings (as shown below). If the Committal follows after the Funeral there will just be a short verse from scripture said at the beginning. Where no other liturgy has taken place there can be a fuller Liturgy of the Word with 2 or 3 readings.

"Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss." "(The deceased) was a great person, and I'll miss them very much." "(He/she) meant a lot to me and everyone else at (the work place.) (He/she) contributed a lot to the company and our team, and (the deceased) will be missed."

These could include: Readings from a favorite poem of your loved one who has passed. A handwritten eulogy. Choosing scripture from a religious text such as the Bible, Quran, Hindu Vedas, or Buddhist Sutras.

Visualise yourself at the funeral, walking up to the lectern, and delivering your tribute, poem or reading clearly and confidently. 'See' yourself standing tall, and the grateful expressions on the faces of the other people there. 'Hear' those words you've been rehearsing coming out in just the way you want them to.
