Thank you for producing the funeral orders of service for me both at late notice and over a weekend!. They were reasonably priced, high quality, with attention to detail and most importantly a lovely keepsake.

The order of service cards arrived without incident yesterday. I just wanted to thank you for all you did.

Karen - London


Unbelievable service. You very rarely find the level of professionalism that Barker Cards provide these days. What a pleasure it was to find such an incredibly helpful and efficient company. All the more surprising when they returned my call and assisted me in design and content at 4pm on Christmas Eve and then delivered a first class product within 2 working days despite the Christmas shut-down. I take my hat off to this company.

Martin - West Newton, Somerset.


Hi Again

My parcel arrived before midday - Thank you

Three quarters of an hour later I am still trying to find a way in to the package - well done to whoever wrapped it.

Congratulations on the presentation of the photograph of 'me mam' on the front cover of the Order of Service, and the rest of the publication was A1 - 5 Star. I must also add that your customer service skills are exemplary - something that is sadly lacking in today's society.

All in all, a pleasant experience in difficult times.

Thank You

Chris - St. Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex

We don't like to offer generic templates as we feel every funeral order of service is unique and should reflect both the deceased as a person and the wishes of the family.

We also understand that is is very difficult to trust a business with such an important job with out first seeing examples of there work.

We try to show with examples, the range of designs different designs we have done, but please don't think that they are limited to these. Each and every funeral order of service is different and we will always help you to get things exactly how you want them to be.

Above are some examples of funeral order of service front covers. There is no set rule for the layout for the front cover and we have done all sorts in the past to suit all types of people.

Generally, the front will have a photo typically head and shoulders. The date of birth and date of death, the day and date of the funeral service and the location.

The back cover is typically used to let people know if and where any donations people may wish to give to a charity close to the deceased heart. These can be charity's like Cancer Research UK for example.

The back cover is also used to let people know if there is to be a wake held after the funeral and the address.

Finally, any free space is an ideal place for another photo, usually this will be a full photo of a happy memory or with a life partner.

The inside pages we usually reserve for the actual order of service content.

This is what the people attending the funeral will use to follow and participate in the service. This is best left well sized and clear to ensure everyone can follow it easily.

There are occasions when a funeral service will be very short and space will be available to include a further picture which can help to balance everything out.
