“We held Dad's memorial service three months after he passed, when family could travel from across the country. FuneralFolio gave us the time to craft a program that told his full story—his service in the Navy, his 40-year teaching career, and the garden he loved. It became a treasured keepsake.”

Common elements include a gathering and welcome, opening words or invocation, musical selections, eulogy or biographical tribute, time for shared memories from attendees, readings or poems, photo or video presentation, moment of silence or reflection, closing remarks, and information about reception or gathering afterward. The structure can be adapted to fit your family's preferences and cultural traditions.
