Death Announcement

I would like a death announcement created. Private Service — use “Private Service” instead of publishing service details. I would like the death announcement to look different from the front cover of the program.

Program Design, Photos & Extras

Choose the program format and design direction, then upload the photos and supporting material.

Program Type & Cover

Photo guidance: Bifold programs usually work best with a smaller carefully selected group of photos, depending on written content. About 25 photos is recommended for a Trifold and at least 50 for an 8-Page Booklet. 12- and 16-page booklets can accommodate more. Too many photos for the selected layout may make them smaller and harder to see.

Name exactly as it should appear on the cover
