Funeral Programs | Obituaries | Gold Image Printing

Obituaries, funerals, and all the attendant work that comes with them are most often solemn, serious affairs that can be deeply emotionally taxing. At Gold Image Printing, we understand this is a difficult time, and pride ourselves on our ability to make printing your funeral programs as stress-free as possible. 

Getting an obituary right is a delicate process, and a funeral service program that highlights this important act of remembrance is something that is worth getting right. Take advantage of the wide array of choices Gold Image Printing provides, to ensure your funeral programs are as perfect as the one they’re in remembrance of. 

Pages

Whether you want short and sweet, or detailed and flowery, Gold Image Printing is here to furnish your funeral programs with as few or as many pages as needed. 

We’ve all seen funeral program examples which are on the shorter end. Perhaps for a more private person, or one who didn’t want such a big fuss, so our funeral programs begin at eight pages. That’s four cover pages (front cover and front internal side, plus back cover and back internal side), and four internal pages. 

For someone who has lived a particularly adventurous life, or anyone who would like to add significant details, our funeral programs go all the way up to thirty-six pages. Again, that’s four cover pages (front cover and front internal cover, plus back cover and back internal cover), and thirty-two pages inside.

Cover Paper

If you’ve been looking for obituary printing services near me, you may be missing out on the beautiful range of paper and cardstock options that we’re able to provide at Gold Image Printing. Having obituaries printed is a deeply personal act of remembrance, so make sure your choice of paper truly enhances your funeral programs.

For a sturdy feel in the hand, any of our 100lb options are a wonderful choice. 100lb Gloss Text, which will make any text shine while also keeping your colors vibrant, is a great option for funeral programs. 100lb Gloss Cover is a perfect choice for a more design-focused funeral program, while 100lb Uncoated Cover really lets the texture of the paper shine in a more minimal design. Our final 100lb option listed on this page is 100lb Silk Cover, which lends a unique and lovely feel to anyone’s funeral program template.

We also offer several other uncoated options. Both 70lb Uncoated Text and 14pt Uncoated smooth make excellent choices for funeral programs.

Our Silk Cover also comes in a 14pt option, which is a slightly more delicate choice.

Obviously, this is a very personal decision, and we want to make sure that you have the exact look and feel you want for funeral programs. So if none of the choices here are precisely what you want, please take a look at our full range of paper stocks. If you see something there that feels more appropriate to you, you can reach out to ask for a custom quote, and we’ll work with you to find what you need. You can focus on important tasks such as a sample funeral program order of service, while Gold Image Printing will manage allvthe printing aspects.

Inside Paper

Our recommended paper for use inside funeral programs is 100lb Silk Text. It provides a unique, slightly matte finish, for a smudge and tear-stain free funeral program template. However if this doesn’t feel like the right option for you, we can work with you to ensure we provide the funeral program you need. Just request a custom quote, and tell us what you need or browse our many paper stocks. 

Binding

One look at our Bound Books will tell you all you need to know about the quality and professionalism you can expect from Gold Image Printing. Trying to find obituaries printing near me that provide the same select options as Gold Image Printing could leave you coming up short. Let us put our experience to good use, and take a look at our range of binding options.

Our most popular option is Saddle Stitch (staple) binding. This is an efficient and cost-effective binding method that looks particularly excellent binding thinner funeral programs, but is appropriate throughout our range of sizes.

Wire O binding is an elegant choice, which still allows funeral programs to be laid flat. It’s also a sturdy option, and is perfect when paired with thicker cardstocks, or funeral programs which contain a higher number of pages.

We also offer coil binding. While this may seem a little out of left field for funeral programs, everyone’s needs are different, and this might be the perfect eccentric choice for the funeral programs you need.

Sizes

We offer a wide range of sizes that will suit almost any funeral program needs, from 4.25” x 5.5”, all the way up to 9” x 12”, and many in between. However, we’re also aware that funeral programs can be highly personal, and you may need something a little bit different, or entirely unique. That’s why we make sure we’re not strictly bound to the exact dimensions on offer here. If you have something specific in mind, please reach out and make a request for a custom quote. We’re happy to facilitate your needs in such a difficult time.

Specialties

Although traditionally funeral programs are a more somber affair, our incredible range of specialties are sure to add a stately, tasteful flair.

White ink might be just the right option to make a funeral program reflect the individuality of the deceased.

For a somber and classy touch of glamor, foil stamping is a wonderful choice, especially with all the options available in our foil color chart.

Standard shapes aren’t for everyone, so if you’re looking for a unique way to individualize your funeral programs, die cutting is perhaps the perfect option.

If you’re having trouble deciding where to begin with our specialties, I suggest taking a look at the Gold Image Printing Blog.  With so many fantastic options, such as letterpressing, embossing, and debossing, our post: “Which Should I Choose: Foil Stamping or Embossing?” is the perfect place to start.

Turnaround

We understand that funeral programs are often required on a very time-sensitive basis, so we offer both two business day and next business day turnaround on funeral programs.
