Remember, you’re not alone on this journey. We’re here to help every step of the way. Let’s begin.

Choosing the Right Program Type

The first step in creating a custom funeral program is choosing the program type that best suits your needs. At DisciplePress, we offer a wide range of options including Bi-Fold Programs, Tri-Fold Programs, and Booklet Programs. Each comes in various sizes like 8-page, 12-page, 16-page, and 20-page programs. We also have thematic programs such as Angel Themed Programs, Nature Themed Programs, and Faith-Based Programs.

Every memorial should reflect the unique life and legacy of your loved one. We offer Funeral Programs, Bi-Fold Programs and Tri-Fold Programs to help you create meaningful tributes.

When selecting a type, consider the amount of information and photos you intend to include. If you wish to share a detailed life story or include multiple photos, an 8-page or 12-page booklet program might be the best fit. For a more minimalist approach, a bi-fold or tri-fold program may be more suitable.

Also, consider the theme that resonates most with your loved one’s personality or interests. Our themed programs are designed with beautiful, evocative imagery to add a personal touch to the ceremony.

Remember, the program type you choose should serve as a genuine reflection of your loved one’s life and legacy.

Customizing Your Funeral Program

Once you’ve chosen the program type, the next step is customization. At DisciplePress, we offer two customization options: ‘I will customize myself’ and ‘Customize for me’. Both options ensure a personalized touch to the memorial service, but they cater to different needs and comfort levels with online tools.

If you choose ‘I will customize myself’, you’ll use our easy-to-navigate online customization tool. Here, you’ll replace the stock photos with your own and enter your text in place of the placeholder content. This option gives you the freedom to design at your own pace and in your own way.

If you prefer that we handle the design for you, select ‘Customize for me’. After checkout, you’ll submit your text and photos, and we’ll set up the design on your behalf. We’ll then email you a proof, usually within a few hours. You can request as many changes as needed until you’re completely satisfied with the design.

Whether you prefer to customize yourself or let us do it for you, rest assured that your funeral program will be designed with care and attention to detail.

Choosing the Right Paper Type

Another key decision to make during the customization process is choosing the right paper type. We offer both Matte and Glossy options for Brochure Paper and Card Stock. Each paper type has its own aesthetic appeal and feel.

At DisciplePress, we understand the importance of honoring your loved one’s memory. We offer Tri-Fold Programs, 8-Page Programs and 12-Page Programs to help you create meaningful tributes.

Matte Brochure Paper offers a smooth, non-glare surface, perfect for reading and handling. Glossy Brochure Paper, on the other hand, provides a shiny finish that enhances the vibrancy of colors, making photos stand out.

If you prefer a thicker, more rigid paper, you might consider our Card Stock options. Matte Card Stock has a smooth, non-glare surface, while Glossy Card Stock has a shiny, reflective finish. The choice ultimately depends on your personal preference and the tone you want to set for the memorial service.

Placing Your Order

Once you’re satisfied with your customized design and have chosen your paper type, the next step is to place your order. Just add the product to your cart and proceed to checkout. Ensure that all the information you’ve provided is correct before finalizing your order.

At DisciplePress, we understand that time is of the essence during these times. That’s why, for orders placed before 12pm CST Monday-Friday, we offer Print and Ship Same Day service. Plus, orders over $50 qualify for free Fedex 2-day shipping, with overnight shipping also available.

We also offer rush orders and same-day printing for those who require their programs urgently. We do our utmost to ensure that your programs arrive in time for the memorial service, without compromising on quality or attention to detail.
