Free Funeral Program Template

Search for a funeral program template and most of what you find is free to look at and $15 to download — a hard thing to discover at the checkout screen during the week of a funeral. This one is different, plainly: the builder below produces a complete, print-ready bifold program — photo cover, order of service, obituary panel, and a poem or verse on the back — and the PDF download is free, with no account and no paywall. The only mark on the free version is a small credit line on the back panel.

Five designs are included — see all of them rendered in the examples gallery — and your work autosaves in your browser as you go.

Build your program — free

Fill in what you have — the preview updates as you type, and your work saves automatically in this browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Psalm 23:1–4
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
— King James Version

Frequently asked questions

Is it actually free, or free-to-preview?

Actually free. You can build the complete program and download the print-ready PDF without an account, a payment step, or a preview-only limit. Free PDFs carry one small credit line on the back panel; an optional Pro upgrade removes it, and that's the entire difference.

Why do most funeral program templates cost money?

Most sites sell Word or Canva files per download, often $10–30 each, because each template is hand-made. Ours is a builder rather than a file — the layout work is done by the software in your browser, which costs us nearly nothing per family, so we can give it away.

Do I need Word, Canva, or any design app?

No. Everything happens on this page — type, upload a photo, pick a theme, download the PDF. Any printer or print shop can print it.

Can churches and funeral homes use it for families?

Yes, freely and without asking. If it lightens the load for a family you serve, that is exactly what it is for.
