Free printable funeral program
Type the details, choose a photo from your device if you want one, then print. The program is laid out as a folded sheet of US Letter paper (four panels). Nothing leaves your browser: the photo is never uploaded.
How to print it
- Fill in the form. The preview shows the two sides of the sheet.
- Click Print the program. In the print window, choose landscape if your browser asks, "Actual size" or 100% scale, and double-sided, flip on short edge.
- Print one copy on plain paper, fold it and check the order of the panels and every name and date.
- Print the rest, on cardstock if your printer takes it.
If your printer does not print on both sides, print page 1, put the sheets back in the tray (the orientation depends on your printer; test with one sheet), then print page 2.
- Full name spelled as on official documents, with nickname if used.
- Dates checked with a second family member.
- Names of everyone who reads, speaks, sings or carries the casket.
- Time and place of the reception or burial.
- A poem you have the right to reprint, with the author's name if known.
What to write in each panel
- Cover: keep it simple. See cover wording on what to include in a funeral program.
- Life story: paste the obituary, or write a shorter version with the free obituary template.
- Order of service: one line per part, with a dash before the name. See order of service examples.
- Back: a poem or reading, the family's thanks, and the reception details.
Save a copy
Your text stays in this browser (not the photo), so you can come back to it on the same device. To keep a file, print to PDF. If you need more than four panels, many families print two sheets and fold them together; this template is designed for one sheet.
Common questions
Is this funeral program template really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no charge. The program is built and printed from your own browser.
What paper size does it use?
US Letter (8.5 × 11 inches) in landscape, printed on both sides and folded in half, which gives a 5.5 × 8.5 inch program.
Can I print it at a print shop?
Yes. Print to PDF from the print window (choose "Save as PDF" as the printer), then take or send the PDF to a print shop and ask for double-sided printing, flipped on the short edge.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The photo is read by your browser only to show it in the program. It is not sent to our server and disappears when you close the page.
