Understanding Your Options: Types of Funeral Programs

At DisciplePress, we offer a variety of funeral programs including bi-fold programs, tri-fold programs, booklet programs, and 8-page, 12-page, 16-page, and 20-page programs. Each format offers unique features and space for personalization, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your needs and preferences.

DisciplePress is dedicated to helping families honor their loved ones with dignity and care. We offer Funeral Programs, Bi-Fold Programs and Tri-Fold Programs to help you create meaningful tributes.

Bi-fold programs, also known as four-page programs, are popular due to their simplicity and tradition. They provide ample space for an order of service, a brief biography, and a few photos. Tri-fold programs, on the other hand, offer a bit more space for additional photos or text. They are perfect for those wishing to include more detailed information or a larger photo collage.

For those seeking to include even more information, our booklet programs, ranging from 8 to 20 pages, offer ample space for detailed biographies, multiple photos, and even include additional pages for special tributes or messages from family and friends.

Choosing the right format largely depends on the amount of information and photos you wish to include. We recommend browsing through our range of funeral programs to see which format resonates most with you and your loved one’s life story.

Selecting the Right Paper Type for Your Funeral Program

Once you’ve decided on the format, the next step is to choose the right paper type. We offer four types of paper: Matte Brochure Paper (100lb Text Weight), Glossy Brochure Paper (100lb Text Weight), Matte Card Stock (80lb Cover Weight), and Glossy Card Stock (80lb Cover Weight). Each type of paper has its unique benefits and aesthetic appeal.

Matte Brochure Paper offers a smooth and non-reflective finish, ideal for those who prefer a classic, understated look. Glossy Brochure Paper, on the other hand, has a shiny finish that enhances the vibrancy of photos and color designs.

Matte Card Stock is a heavier paper with a smooth surface and is often chosen for its premium feel and durability. It is particularly suitable for funeral programs that will be kept as keepsakes. Glossy Card Stock offers the same benefits, with the added feature of a shiny, reflective finish that can make your photos and designs pop.

Choosing the right paper type depends on your personal preference and the nature of the designs and photos you wish to include in your program. You may refer to our Paper Types Guide for more information.

Customizing Your Funeral Program

At DisciplePress, we offer two customization options: “I will customize myself” and “Customize for me”. Each option is designed to cater to your specific needs and comfort level with design and technology.

We’re committed to supporting you through this difficult time with meaningful memorial resources. We offer Tri-Fold Programs, 8-Page Programs and 12-Page Programs to help you create meaningful tributes.

If you choose the “I will customize myself” option, you will be led to our online customization tool where you can personally edit the design. You can replace the stock photos with your photos and the placeholder text with your text, allowing you to create a truly personalized tribute to your loved one.

Should you choose the “Customize for me” option, you will be asked to submit your text and photos after checkout. Our experienced team will then set up your design and email you a proof, usually within a few hours. You can request as many changes as needed until you are completely satisfied with the final design.

Regardless of the option you choose, our team is committed to ensuring that your funeral program is a fitting tribute to your loved one. We are here to assist you every step of the way.

Placing Your Order and Shipping Details

Once you’ve customized your funeral program and are satisfied with the design, you can proceed to place your order. Simply add the product to your cart and proceed to checkout. We accept various forms of payment for your convenience.

Orders placed before 12pm CST Monday-Friday are eligible for same-day printing and shipping, ensuring that your funeral programs arrive in a timely manner. For orders over $50, we offer free FedEx 2-day shipping, with overnight shipping available for those who need their programs urgently.
