Why Include Photos in a Funeral Order of Service?

Adding photos to your order of service creates a unique and personal touch. It allows attendees to reminisce and cherish the memories of the deceased. Seeing images of their loved one can bring comfort and warmth, helping to keep their spirit alive in the hearts of those attending the funeral.

Types of Photos to Include

There are numerous types of photos you can incorporate in the funeral order of service:

1. Portraits:

A beautiful portrait of the deceased is an ideal choice for the front cover, capturing their personality and essence.
2. Candid Moments:

Candid photos capture the genuine, unposed moments of joy and love throughout their life.
3. Group Photos:

Including images of the deceased with family and friends showcases the connections they made and the impact they had on those around them.
4. Hobbies and Interests:

Photos of the deceased enjoying their hobbies or engaging in their favourite activities help to celebrate their unique passions and interests.
5. Milestones:

Consider adding pictures of significant life events, such as weddings, graduations, or the birth of children, to commemorate their accomplishments.

Where to Place Photos

While the front and back cover are traditional locations for photos, you can also place them throughout the order of service. Including images on the inner pages creates a visual journey, reminding attendees of the different stages of the deceased's life. By using Utterly Printable's online design tool, you can easily add more pages to your order of service, providing extra space for photos and allowing for a more comprehensive tribute.
