Words by Utterly Printable
Losing a loved one is sadly an inevitable part of life and something we must all deal with at one time or another. The funeral service is a time for people to come together and remember the life and the impact the person had. While it will be sad, it will also bring comfort and an occasional smile to those gathered together at this special time.
Many people find the responsibility of planning the service and designing a funeral order of service template an anxious time. They can be scared of upsetting or offending people, but actually it is hard to get wrong, as at that moment people have forgotten their gripes and are just gathered to pay their solemn respects.
