Funeral Order of Service and Funeral Notices
Funeral stationery enables loved ones to take home a keepsake that celebrates the life of the person who has died, and funeral notices are a respectful way to announce the death; AB Walker can help you with a design for both that’s memorable and personalised.
Order of service
Whilst you can have a funeral without any stationery or notices, many people like to have an Order of Service so that loved ones will know what to expect on the day and have something to take away as a memory of the person who has died. These can also be sent to people who couldn’t attend the service as a memento.
Additional funeral stationery
In addition to the Order of Service, you can also opt to have other items that people are likely to keep as a reminder of the person who has died. These include:
- Attendance cards
- Thank you cards
- Bookmarks
- Memorial cards
- Books of condolence
- Memorial portraits
- Memory boards and photo prints
These can all be personalised with photographs and meaningful words to help create a comforting experience for all those grieving.
Funeral notices
You may wish to place a funeral or death notice in a local or national newspaper to let your loved one’s friends and colleagues know the funeral details. AB Walker will assist you in writing a suitable notice then correspond with the appropriate paper to obtain a proof and arrange the publication on your behalf. You might like to personalise the funeral notice with a photo of your loved one.
