A practical programme checklist
An order of service helps guests follow the day and helps speakers know when they are needed. This flexible example is a planning aid for families in South Africa. Adapt it with your funeral director, celebrant or religious leader to respect your family's faith, culture and wishes.
Individual memorial activation from R199 once-off. Features vary by package.
The example below is a starting point, not a prescribed ceremony. Confirm the final order with the people leading each part of the day.
If the day begins with a gathering at home or another venue, give that gathering its own programme part. Include the confirmed arrival time, welcome, any family observance and departure arrangements. Add the location separately and check travel time with your funeral director. Do not assume every family needs a home gathering or the same sequence of events.
A possible order is: welcome by the programme director; opening prayer or reflection; reading or music; obituary; family tributes; address or words of remembrance; acknowledgements; and closing reflection. Name the person responsible for each item and confirm that they agree to participate. Replace or remove items to match the ceremony, and leave realistic time for music and contributions.
If a cemetery or another venue follows, create a separate programme part with its own location and confirmed time. Include only arrangements that have been agreed with the funeral director or venue. Where appropriate, add directions and a family-approved contact. Check the programme, venue information and shared messages together so guests receive consistent details.
Ask the family and service leader which parts belong in the day. Confirm venue bookings and who will lead the programme.
Check each speaker's name, role and availability. Gather readings and music details before entering the running order.

Include the detail that is helpful and confirmed. The programme director may prefer a running order for individual items and confirmed times for the main service parts. Agree the approach before sharing.
