A Celebration of Life or a funeral?
Should funerals be ‘a Celebration of Life’ or more traditional? That is a key question for all of us who have lost someone special.

This article is on funeral order of service and saying goodbye to a loved one in a personal and individual way. The funeral service being used as a celebration of someone’s life is becoming more popular in modern society. The increasing personalisation we see these days is part of a growing trend, perhaps as we become a more secular society. The importance of a funeral service these days seems to be more focused on saying goodbye to a loved one.
Looking for a funeral order of service template?
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.
Funeral Order of Service Printing
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.
