What a funeral booklet includes
A funeral booklet is a multi-page printed memorial document — more comprehensive than a single-sheet program. A typical booklet includes: a cover panel with portrait, name, and dates; a life story or obituary spanning one to two pages; the complete order of service; a photo tribute page; a surviving family listing; and a closing acknowledgment from the family. The exact content is up to you — the template is fully editable.
Booklet vs. folded funeral program
A folded Letter-size program (8.5×11 in folded in half) produces four panels — enough for a portrait, order of service, brief life story, and acknowledgments. A booklet format goes further: it typically has 8 or more pages, allowing for a longer obituary, multiple photos, and more complete content. If your family has a lot to share, a booklet is the right choice.
Printing your funeral booklet
Export a print-ready PDF and take it to a local print shop. Booklets are typically printed on 8.5×11 sheets folded and stapled (saddle-stitched) through the center. A print shop can handle folding and binding quickly — many offer next-day service for urgent needs. For home printing, print double-sided and staple through the center fold.
