Funeral Order of Service Printing in Croydon, London & UK-Wide

You're staring at a screen with ten paper weights, seven lamination finishes and a binding option you didn't know existed — and the funeral's on Thursday. That's usually the moment someone lands here: not browsing, but needing funeral order of service printing done properly, quickly, without a second guess.

At I You Print, we build every funeral order of service booklet to order — size, paper, lamination, binding and finish chosen by you, printed and hand-bound in Croydon, and shipped to families across London and the rest of the UK. Nothing here is a fixed template. It's a genuinely personalised, bespoke funeral order of service, built from real print specifications rather than a one-size box.

Choose Your Funeral Order of Service Size

A6 is small and easy to hold for a shorter, more intimate service, while DL — tall and slim — has a modern, understated feel some prefer for a memorial order of service or celebration of life booklet. Our 148mm and 210mm square formats give a distinctive finish for a family who wants theirs to feel considered rather than off-the-shelf. Still deciding between formats? Our full range of order of service printing sets out the options side by side.

Every funeral, memorial service or celebration of life calls for something slightly different, and size is usually the first decision. A5 Order of Service is what most families choose — compact, easy to hold through the service, instantly recognisable as a traditional order of service. A4 gives more room per page, suiting a longer ceremony with several hymns and readings, or larger print for older guests.

Choose Your Paper, Cover and Finish

Two paper choices shape a funeral order of service booklet: the inner stock carrying the readings, hymns and tributes, and the cover, which is the first thing anyone touches. Inside, we print on 90gsm uncoated through to 170gsm silk — 115gsm silk or 120gsm uncoated is the middle ground most people land on, light enough to turn easily, substantial enough not to feel flimsy. The cover runs heavier, from plain 90gsm uncoated up to 250gsm or 350gsm silk, which prints more like a card than a page and gives the booklet real weight as a keepsake.

Lamination protects the cover and changes how it feels in the hand — useful on a booklet that's held and kept. Gloss lifts colour and photographs; matt reads calmer and doesn't catch the light under crematorium lighting; soft-touch adds a texture a lot of families choose specifically for a memorial keepsake.

Choose Your Binding and Page Count

Binding is a small decision with a real effect on how the booklet reads. Long edge bound is what most people picture — it opens from the side like a book, easier to hold and follow during a service, and at this page range it's finished as a proper saddle-stitched booklet, the same binding we use across our wider booklet and catalogue printing. Short edge bound opens from the top, more like a notebook — less common, but some families prefer it for a particular layout.

Every funeral order of service here is printed double-sided as standard, in page counts from 8pp up to 72pp, always in multiples of four. An 8pp–16pp booklet comfortably covers a shorter service with one or two hymns; anything longer — multiple readings, several speakers, a photo section — pushes naturally toward 24pp, 32pp or beyond. We'll flag it if a page count and binding choice don't quite match, before it goes to print.

Personalising Your Funeral Order of Service with Photographs and Tributes

A photograph on the cover can turn a funeral order of service into a much more personal keepsake. Choose a heavier cover stock — 130gsm gloss when you want photographs and colours to stand out, or 250gsm to 350gsm silk for a proper keepsake feel — and the image holds its detail far better than on a thin, uncoated sheet. Many families also add a short memory page alongside the readings: two or three further photographs and a few lines about the person's life, sitting comfortably in an extra 8pp.

Personalisation here isn't an add-on. Every funeral order of service we print is built from your own wording, photograph and running order — there's no generic template underneath it.

Funeral Order of Service Printing: Quantities, Turnaround and Ordering

We print funeral order of service booklets from 25 copies up to 20,000, so a small, quiet gathering and a large memorial service are equally straightforward to order — you're not paying for a minimum run built for a bigger job than you need.

Turnaround is selected as part of your order: 1 working day, or 3 to 4 working days if you'd rather leave room for final changes. If you're local to Croydon and the timeline's genuinely tight, call us directly — we'll tell you honestly whether a same-day job is realistic, rather than promise something we can't guarantee online.

Artwork can go two ways. If it's ready, upload it directly at checkout — print-ready PDFs only. If it isn't, choose "send it later" and we'll email a secure upload link once your order's placed. Either way, every job is checked and proofed before it's printed and hand-bound, which is where most of the mistakes we see elsewhere — a wrong hymn title, a name spelled slightly off — get caught before they matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Funeral Order of Service Printing

How quickly can you print a funeral order of service?

Most orders are ready within 1 working day of your proof being approved, with a 3–4 working day option if you'd rather build in time for changes. Local to Croydon and need something same day? Call us directly and we'll tell you honestly whether it's realistic.

Can I order a small quantity, like 25 or 50 booklets?

Yes — we print from 25 copies upward, so a small, intimate service isn't treated as an afterthought. Quantities run up to 20,000 for larger memorial services.

Do you deliver funeral order of service printing across the UK?

Yes — we print and deliver to families right across the UK, not just Croydon and London. [CONFIRM: standard nationwide delivery timeframe and courier, to state a specific day range].

What sizes are available for a funeral order of service booklet?

A5, A4, A6 and DL, plus 148mm and 210mm square formats. A5 is the most traditional choice, A4 suits longer services with more content, and the square formats give a more distinctive finish.

Can I add photographs to my funeral order of service?

Yes — a cover photograph is standard, and many families add a short memory page inside too. A heavier, coated stock like 130gsm gloss or 250gsm silk holds photo detail noticeably better than thin, uncoated paper.

How do I send my artwork for printing?

Upload a print-ready PDF at checkout, or choose "send it later" and we'll email a secure upload link once your order's placed. Either way, you'll see a proof before anything goes to print.

Can you help design a personalised funeral order of service if I don't have artwork ready?

Yes — we can help put it together from your wording, photograph and running order. If you're still working out what to include, our funeral order of service planning guide covers it step by step [link once published].

What's the difference between lamination and a Spot UV or foil finish?

Lamination covers the whole cover and changes how it feels — gloss, matt or soft-touch. Spot UV and foil are targeted finishes, adding shine or metallic detail to just a name or border, not the full page.
