Funerals and Bereavements

Funeral Service Programs

We can provide a limitless range of papers, finishes and formats, in black and white or full colour.

One area that Copy Direct specialise in is the provision of design and printing for the funeral service community. Our team dedicate particular care and attention as we are aware of the challenges that loved ones face at this time.

Typically we might print an order of service for as little as 30 people or over 300 hundred. We can provide a limitless range of papers, finishes and formats, in black and white or full colour. We would also be very happy, if appropriate to discuss with you other items such as tribute albums, photo books or really anything that you feel may provide something of value and meaning in the bereavement process.

Some families might have a single page service sheet, others may have a booklet of a few pages or even a larger book, with extensive contents. For example we could print a smaller booklet with the pages stapled and folded for a simple option or we could produce a book bound in leather or any other finish that you would like. We can print any size from smaller than A5 to as large as you like.

In an order of service you may like to include some photos, or have a significant number of written tributes from love ones included in the main text. We have expert designers that can help you with the design and lay out process as well as master printers with over 20 years of experience to seamlessly manage all your printing requirements.

Friends and family often hold on to funeral programs as a cherished keepsake. Copy Direct provides professionally designed, memorial and funeral programs to help you create the perfect funeral program keepsake to share with friends and family.

Our professional team will help you through the design and printing process, whatever your needs. We promise to provide the utmost sensitivity, experience and efficiency to ensure that you get results that will add special value to the proceedings.

Below is an outline of the key options when deciding on a catalogue.

1. Size – The most popular size is A5. The other size which is quite common is A6. Some people request other less common sizing for example a bookmark size.

A5 – smaller than A4 – half the size
Dimensions - 210mm x 148mm

A6 – smaller than A5 – half the size
Dimensions - 105mm x 148mm

Custom – Custom made for you
Dimensions - To your size

2. Binding – If the funeral program is 4 pages then it is usually folded in the middle. For programs that have the Order of Service, Tributes and Photo Memories which require 8 or more pages these are saddle stitched (stapled).

Booklet Binding – Pages are folded and twin stapled, called Saddle Stitching. This is the most economical method of finishing for a Funeral Service Program.

3. Cover - Card Stock

A. Gloss - If you like a shiny look then this is the choice for you.

B. Matt - Matt is easier on the eye and easier to read as it reduces reflections.
