A template that fills itself in

A blank Word file or a drag-and-drop template leaves you to write the obituary, fit it into the columns, size the photograph and find out at the print shop that the fold is in the wrong place. These templates work the other way round. You answer a few questions about the person, and the obituary, the photograph, the order of service and the family acknowledgements are placed for you, in the design you chose.

Every design below comes in all four sizes, and you can change the design at any time without losing anything you have written.

Four sizes, every design

What is in each template

• A cover with their name, dates and photograph.
• Their obituary, written from your answers in your family's voice, and editable line by line.
• The order of service, with the details of the service, the officiant and the readings.
• Pages for photographs, a poem or scripture, pallbearers and a family acknowledgement, depending on the size.
• A back cover with a closing message.

If you are not sure what to include, what goes in a funeral program walks through each page, and the order of service template shows the usual order.
