What you download
A print-ready PDF
The pages are already placed on the sheet in the order that double-sided printing needs, so a home printer set to "flip on short edge", or any copy shop, gives you a folded booklet with the pages in order.
A page-by-page PDF
The same booklet one page at a time, to email to family who cannot be there, to share with the funeral director, or for a print shop that arranges booklet pages itself.
A printing guide by email
Worked out for your format, paper and number of copies: how much paper to buy, the exact printer settings, what to ask for at a copy shop, and how to fold and staple.
Two formats, on US Letter or A4
Both keep every word at least 0.55 in (14 mm) from the edge of the paper, clear of what home printers cannot reach.
| Format | Sheets per copy | Folded size | What it holds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-page bifold | 1 | 5.5 x 8.5 in on Letter, A5 on A4 | Cover, two inside pages for the running order and one or two readings or hymns, and the back page |
| 8-page booklet | 2 | 5.5 x 8.5 in on Letter, A5 on A4 | Cover, life story, the running order and the words of several readings and hymns, a page of photographs, and the back page |
The words of the readings and hymns, already set
20 Bible readings, 29 hymns and songs and 12 poems, all out of copyright in the US and the UK. Choose one and it is laid out on the page in full.

Questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The booklet is made in your browser. The photos and everything you type are kept in this browser's storage on this device, so you can close the page and come back. When you pay, only their name, the format and paper you chose, and your email are sent, to take the payment and send the printing guide.
Can I see it before paying?
Yes. The preview changes as you type, and the free preview PDF is the full print-ready file with a watermark, so you can test-print it on your own printer before paying anything.
What if something changes after I have paid?
For 30 days after paying you can change anything and download again, for example if a reader changes or a name needs correcting. The link in your email unlocks the downloads on another device too, but the words and photos stay on the device where you typed them.
Can a print shop print it?
Yes. Take the print-ready PDF and ask for double-sided printing at actual size, folded, and stapled on the fold for the 8-page booklet. If the shop arranges booklet pages itself, give it the page-by-page PDF. The printing page has the details.
Can I use a hymn or reading that is not listed?
Yes: choose "Use your own words" in step 5 and type or paste it. Many modern hymns, poems and Bible translations are still in copyright, so ask the church or funeral director whether their license covers printing the words in a service booklet.
What does it cost?
$19, paid once (£15 in the UK, $19 everywhere else). There is no subscription and nothing to cancel.
What if it does not print properly?
Email [email protected] with what went wrong. If the booklet will not download or will not print correctly, we will put it right or refund you.
