Crafting a Thoughtful Order of Service with Quantock Funeral Directors

At Quantock Funeral Directors, we understand that creating an order of service is a vital part of commemorating a loved one’s life. This keepsake not only guides attendees through the ceremony but also serves as a cherished memento. Here's how we help you design a meaningful and personalised order of service.


Selecting the Perfect Photos


Choosing the right photos for the order of service can be a poignant task. For the front cover, we recommend selecting a high-quality photograph that truly captures the essence of your loved one. This could be a recent picture or a treasured photo from a special time in their life.


The back cover often includes a photo that complements the front cover. This might be a candid shot from a family gathering or an image that highlights a beloved hobby or passion. These photos are not just images; they are a tribute to the unique personality and journey of the departed. Depending on the service content, there may be space for more photographs to be included within.


Including Wake and Donation Details


The back cover is also an ideal place to provide essential information regarding the wake. This ensures all attendees are aware of where and when they can gather to share memories and offer support.


Additionally, many families choose to honour their loved one's memory by encouraging donations to a favourite charity. Including donation details on the back cover provides a simple way for attendees to contribute in lieu of flowers, creating a lasting legacy in your loved one’s name.


Collaborating with the Celebrant


Creating the content and running order of the service can be overwhelming. Our dedicated celebrant will sit with you to craft a service that reflects your loved one’s life, values, and wishes. From selecting readings and hymns to arranging eulogies and musical pieces, every detail is considered and personalised.


Once the service outline is finalised, it is passed to our team at Quantock Funeral Directors. We take great care in formatting and designing the order of service to ensure it is both beautiful and easy to follow.


Reviewing the Draft


We believe in making sure everything is perfect. That’s why we provide a draft copy of the order of service for your review. You will have the opportunity to make any necessary changes, ensuring that the final version is exactly as you envisioned.


Our commitment is to create an order of service that honours your loved one with dignity and respect. We are here to support you through every step, providing guidance and expertise during this difficult time.
