Everything you have to hand out, printed
The programme, the memory cards, the bookmarks, the notice for the church porch — made from the page you have already written, so nobody types their name a ninth time.
Eight pieces, not one
Every one is sized properly, folds properly, and is built from the same photograph and dates already on their page.
Order of service
The programme handed round at the service. A4, four sides, folded once.
Memory card
A wallet card to take away and keep. A6, both sides.
Bookmark
Given out with the programme, and kept for years. 55 × 180 mm, both sides.
Notice
A single sheet for a noticeboard, a church porch or a shop window. A4.
Photograph for the easel
A large sheet for the entrance, read from across a room. A3.
Register page
Ruled lines for mourners to sign as they arrive. A4.
Place card
For a reserved seat, or a table at the wake. 90 × 55 mm.
Thank-you card
Sent afterwards, to everyone who came or sent flowers. A6, both sides.
One look, across all of them
Six to choose from — Classic, Traditional, Devotional, Plain, Modern and Formal. Choosing one sets the typeface and the spacing for every piece, so the bookmark matches the programme without anybody having to make it match.
The parts other people get wrong
Check it before it is printed
Send a link to a brother in Canada and an aunt who is not online much. They read it on a phone, with no account and nothing to install, and reply with what is wrong — a middle name, a date out by a day. You see their words beside the piece. A hundred programmes with a misspelt name is not a mistake you can take back.
A pack your own printer can quote from
One download: the print-ready PDF and a written specification — size, sides, folding, quantity, 3 mm bleed, trim marks, and a plain note that the file is RGB. The shop on your high street can price it without telephoning to ask, and you are not tied to whoever we happen to know.
Or print it at home tonight
The small pieces are tiled several to a sheet of A4 with cut marks, and the backs are laid out so a duplex printer puts them the right way up. Bookmarks on card at eleven at night is a real way this gets done.
Proper print files, not screenshots
Live vector text with the fonts embedded, at the trim size the piece actually is, with bleed and crop marks when a printer wants them. A prepress operator can open these and get on with it.
Readings you may actually print
Psalms, prayers, poems, and a few with nothing religious in them — every one out of copyright, checked, and free to put on paper. Chosen from a list and set on the page for you, rather than pasted in and left to look like it was pasted in.
Move anything, and undo it
Drag things where you want them. Select several and line them up. Undo as far back as you like. It saves as you go, and tells you plainly if somebody else in the family has been editing the same piece.
What it costs
The order of service is free
On every page, on every plan, for ever. We make it from what is already there and it is yours to print as often as you like. If it is all you need, you never have to pay us anything.
The rest comes with a plan
Arranging your own pieces — all eight, with the editor, the proof links and the print-shop packs — is part of a paid plan. One price covers all of it. There is no charge per piece, per copy, or per download, and no upgrade waiting inside once you have started.
Nothing is sold on the page
No advertising, ever, on any memorial. Nobody is sold flowers beside a photograph of the person who has died, and their page is never deleted for want of a renewal.
Would you rather we did it? We will typeset and proofread the programme and send it back print-ready. Tell us the date of the service and we will quote for it.
