Graduated Fold Obituary Program Template

The graduated fold obituary program template (sometimes called offset layout) is a contemporary layout style that gives a new twist to the traditional funeral program layout. It is very similar to the bifold (single fold) obituary program template, except there the fold is slightly offset, revealing a different colored tab, design or text to the left of the program. Often the name or other information is typed in this tab. This fold and exposed tab give a contemporary and polished look to your funeral programs. Since this layout can be tricky, predesigned obituary program templates are the quickest and easiest way to obtain this style of program.
Similar the bifold (single) fold funeral program template, the graduated fold funeral program template can still contain the traditional elements of the funeral program such as the cover photo, the funeral order of service, scriptures, funeral and memorial poems, funeral song lyrics and much more. Consider using a graduated fold for your funeral program and create a special and lasting memory of your loved one.
