Obituary program sample
The outer cover and back panel
The cover has a light beige background with a glowing stained glass window in the top right corner, framed by a brown border. The design suits a religious person or a religious funeral or memorial service. The cover holds a photo, the full name, the birth and death dates and the service information.
The back panel has a poem and a thank-you note from the family. It also says where the burial or interment will take place, and the funeral home that handled the arrangements lists its information on the back.
The inner pages
The inner pages hold a religious order of service that lists each part of the service and the people taking part. On the right, a short obituary tells where he was born, where he went to school, his marriage and his family. A personal note from his grandson follows. A brown tab runs down the side of the page with his full name as a decorative touch. This is a good choice if you do not have much time and want to keep things simple but still add some decorative flair.
