Gilded Laurel 8-Page Funeral Program Template – Editable Celebration of Life Booklet

A calm, elegant memorial booklet with room for more of their story.

The Gilded Laurel 8-page program pairs a soft cream page with fine gold laurels, a classic black arch for a favorite photo, and timeless serif lettering. It has space for the order of service, a full obituary, a life timeline, a page of photos, a poem and tributes. Every word is editable, so you can make it your own, then print it at home, at a local print shop, or share it by text and email.

★ WHAT'S INCLUDED

• 8-page funeral program: two 8.5 x 11 in sheets, printed on both sides, nested and folded to 5.5 x 8.5 in

• Cover with arch photo, name, dates and service details

• Order of service

• Obituary ("A Life Well Lived") with a round photo

• Life timeline

• Photo page ("Cherished Memories", 6 photo spots)

• Full poem page: "Crossing the Bar"

• Tributes page: pallbearers, honorary pallbearers, flower bearers, acknowledgments and reception details

• Back page with a photo, verse, interment and arrangements

• Editable PowerPoint file (.pptx)

• Sample PDFs (print-shop, home-print and reading-order) so you can see the finished layout and make a test print

• How to Edit & Print guide (PDF)

★ HOW TO EDIT

• Open the .pptx file in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. Click any text to type over it.

• Each photo spot is its own shape. Fill it with your photo; the guide has the steps for each program.

• The gold laurels, frames and cream background are one flat background picture, so single ornaments can't be recolored.

• Fonts: Playfair Display and Montserrat, both free from Google Fonts. Install them first for the closest match.

• Works best on a computer. Editing on a phone hasn't been tested.

★ PRINTING

• Save your finished program as a PDF, then print it as a folded booklet on Letter paper (both sides). Nest sheet 2 inside sheet 1 and fold. The guide walks you through it.

• Print at 100% / Actual size and make one test copy first.

• Many home printers leave a thin white edge. The design still looks neat if that happens.

★ GOOD TO KNOW

• Digital download only. Nothing is shipped.

• The names, dates, photos and words shown are sample text.

• For personal use by one family for one memorial service. Please don't share or resell the files.

• Colors can look slightly different on screen, on paper and between printers.

• No refunds on digital downloads, but if you have any trouble with a file, message us and we'll help you fix it.

• Questions about a file? Email dansanchez21@gmail.com.
