The short answer
A funeral program needs six parts: the cover with the name, dates, and service information; the order of service; the obituary; the family list; hymns or readings; and acknowledgments. The free template below fills in all six and prints on standard letter paper folded in half. No account, no watermark, nothing to buy.

Before you start
Build a folded funeral program in your browser and print it at home or at any print shop. Confirm the order of service with whoever is leading it before you print, and print more copies than the guest count; people take extras for family who couldn't come.
What to expect at the service →Free tool
Fill in the details below and get a folded program: the front, the order of service inside, and a thank you on the back. Print it at home or take the printout to any print shop. A funeral home sells the same folded sheet for real money.
This is a template and a tool, not legal advice. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is sent anywhere, and nothing is saved when you close the tab. Print or download before you leave.
Every field is optional. The preview updates as you type.
Photo: there's no upload. The front panel prints an empty frame sized for a standard 4x5 print. Glue or tape a physical photo onto each copy, or ask the print shop to place one.
A standard order is filled in. Rename, remove, or add lines. Blank lines are left out of the program.
Add a name or any detail to export.
Print gives the three panels below, one per page: front, inside, back. Run copies at home, or hand the printout to any print shop and ask for it on one folded sheet. That is the whole job. A funeral home's version of this costs real money. PDF, Word, and .txt give the same content as a plain document you can edit or send.
