- The front cover
- For a funeral, the name, the dates of birth and death, often a photograph, and the place and time of the service. For a wedding, your names, the date and the venue.
- The running order
- Each part of the service in order, from the music at the start to the music at the end, with the readings, hymns, tribute or vows in between and the name of each person taking part.
- The words to join in with
- Hymns, songs and prayers printed in full. They take the most room, so they decide whether a folded sheet is enough or you need an 8 or 12 page booklet.
- The back page
- A thank-you from the family or the couple, and where everyone goes next: the reception, the wake or the committal, with any donation details.
