One of the easiest ways to get started is to look at obituary or <a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/funeral-programs">funeral programs</a><a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/funeral-programs"> </a>that have already been created. Many friends and family members keep obituary programs as keepsakes, and may have a few programs that you can look at. You can also use the Internet to find obituary program samples. Simply go to your favorite search engine and type “obituary programs” or “obituary program samples” . It also helps to just search for images only.<br /><br />Looking at examples will not only give you ideas about design and layout, but will also help you decide what information you will include in your program. Programs can be a short one page document that just contains brief information about the service and the deceased. You can also choose to make your program several pages long, including information such as <a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/memorial-poems">funeral poems</a>, bible scriptures, a detailed order of service, a formal obituary and photos of family and friends. It all just depends on your preference. You can also find <a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/free-obituary-templates">obituary templates</a> on the internet, save lots of time with design and layout of your program.<br /><br />Taking the time to look at examples will help you create a beautiful obituary program that not only serves as a service guide, but will be a cherished keepsake for years to come.<br /><br />Also See:<br /><br /><a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/how-to-write-an-obituary/sample-obituaries">Sample Obituaries</a><br /><a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/funeral-program-examples">Funeral Program Examples</a>funeralprogramshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05516024829960075733noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838105163671901573.post-57303226717809925132011-02-26T10:25:00.000-08:002011-03-01T05:30:53.662-08:00Obituary Program TitlesThe <a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/free-obituary-templates">obituary program</a> title is usually on the cover of the obituary program, and describes how you choose to honor your loved one.

Here are some quick tips for choosing obituary program paper.<br /><br />1. Select heavier paper — Thicker paper will make your program sturdy and professional looking. Paper weight is measured in pounds. Standard copy paper is 20 pounds. Choose a 24 or 28 pound paper to increase durability and reduce “showthrough”.<br /><br />2. If using card stock (paper with a weight of 40 – 100 pounds), check your printer's specifications to ensure that your ink jet or laser printer can handle cardstock. If so, allow more<br />time for printing, to account for slower printer times and paper jams.<br /><br />2. If using a colorful <a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/funeral-program-templates">obituary program template</a> with graphics and photos, select a paper with a<br />high brightness. Paper brightness ranges from 80 to 100. Select the highest brightness available to make your graphics and images clear and sharp.<br /><br />3. If printing a colorful obituary program, avoid paper with colors and textures. Colors and<br />textures can distort the colors on the obituary program and photos, giving unexpected results. Get a sample of the colored or textured paper and print a copy so that you can see how your program colors will render before you print.<br /><br />4. Check your local office supply or copy store for paper availability. Obituary programs are usually needed quickly, and you may not have time to special order.funeralprogramshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05516024829960075733noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838105163671901573.post-52551389613346898372011-01-29T11:00:00.000-08:002014-04-26T12:28:48.656-07:00Obituary Program Template Tips<a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/funeral-program-templates" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nTDuxbDUPec/TURmxJHyJBI/AAAAAAAAAD0/d2i0AgHiQ48/s320/obituary_program_template.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567688033784964114" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 151px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a>Using a <a href="http://elegantmemorials.com/funeral-program-template-getting-started-guide" target="_blank" title="funeral program template"> obituary program template</a> is a quick and easy way to create professional looking obituary programs or memorial service bulletins.

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. <br />
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.<br />

They can be a very important part of the funeral program, giving good biographical information about the deceased. The obituary that is published in the program is usually longer than the “death announcement” type obituary that is published in the newspaper. It not only gives basic details of the life, but also gives information about jobs, hobbies and family. You can use obituary templates to help you construct the obituary. A detailed obituary can contain the following elements:<br />
<br />
* Birth and Death Date<br />
* Place of Birth and Death<br />
* Cause of Death<br />
* Schools attended/education information<br />
* Military service<br />
* Religious affiliation<br />
* Jobs held – including retirement<br />
* Names and relations of family members, both surviving and pre-deceased,<br />
* Awards/Recognitions received<br />
* Organizations<br />
