Home / All products / Funeral Order of Service
When a family needs an order of service, that job goes to the front of the queue. Always. We know the timescales are short and the details matter, and we treat both with care.
Guide prices for printed and folded booklets. Standard is a 200gsm cover with 130gsm inside pages; premium is a thicker 300gsm cover with 200gsm inside pages. There is no pressure to order online; call us and we will take care of everything gently.
Send us the words and photos however you have them. We will lay everything out gently and properly, send you a proof to check, and have the booklets ready when you need them, including out of hours collection if the day requires it.

You do not need anything ready before you contact us. Most families call or email with the words in a document and photographs on a phone, and that is a perfectly good starting point.
Send what you have. Photographs from a phone, scans, prints, a Word document, or notes in an email. If the photographs are old prints, we can scan them properly so they reproduce well, and we handle originals with care. If it is easier to email us a photograph from your phone, that is fine for us to see what you have, though for the actual printing we will ask for the original, because a phone snap of a photo loses too much quality.
We lay it out. Layout, photograph retouching and proofreading are included, not extra. If a photograph is faded, creased, or has someone else in it who should not be there, we can repair it gently. If you have seen a design you like, send a photo of it and we will work in the same spirit.
You see a proof before anything prints. Always. You check the names, the dates, the order of the readings and the hymns. Take the time you need with it, because we would rather wait than have something wrong. For larger orders we will print you a single finished sample to hold before we run the rest.
Then we print, and we work to your date. These jobs go ahead of everything else in the studio, and same day or next day is normal. Out of hours and weekend collection can be arranged, and we can deliver to the funeral director directly if that is easier, so just tell us who and where.
On quantity. People usually order a few more than they expect to need, because families ask for copies afterwards and reprinting later costs more per copy than printing them together. 50 is our smallest priced quantity and 100 is the most common.
On the two options. Standard is a 200gsm cover with 130gsm inside pages. Premium is a 300gsm cover with 200gsm inside pages, noticeably heavier in the hand and better at holding a photograph. Both are printed full colour throughout. Silk and gloss finishes are the same price and look very similar, and if you want a true high gloss that needs lamination, which we can quote. Longer booklets than 12 pages, and matching graveside or hymn booklets, are quoted per job.
If you would rather just talk to someone, call 020 8520 0996 or 07391 970040. We will take it from there.
