Service Booklets

Creating a service booklet is one way families can share memories, readings, music and personal messages during a funeral or memorial service. To help make this process a little easier, Simple Goodbyes provides downloadable service booklet templates that families can use as a starting point when planning the order of the service. 

These templates are designed to guide you through what is typically included, while still allowing the booklet to be personalised in a way that reflects the life and story of your loved one. We have created three options for you to choose from and each template has four pages, including: front page, full page image, order of service, thank you page. Please see full example of Service Booklet 3 underneath the instructions below.
