How Much Are Funeral Programs?
The Funeral Program Site offers a variety of options when it comes to producing your funeral programs. Being the leader in the industry, we make it a priority to price the production of funeral programs depending on various needs and assistance. Here is the breakdown on the cost and associated pricing for our quality made programs. We are here to help as much or as little as each family needs us so pricing will vary as outlined below.
The DIY Funeral Program Template
This option is our most cost effective option and enables you to do-it-yourself and print it on your own home printer. Downloading and editing any of our ready-made template files is quite easy and of course, our customer support is ready and waiting to assist you should you run into any questions or issues. The cost of the one time download starts at $39.95 and this includes the ready-made program file with filler text and photo boxes set on top of the background of your choice. If you are printing this at home, it will cost you the paper and the ink (if you don't already have it). The paper which is usually a 32 lb. weight can be purchased at any local office supply store and a ream or 500 sheets, usually runs about $12, depending on your geographic location. Ink costs will depend on your printer and how many toner cartridges are needed. If your stocked in ink then you should be able to get by without having to purchase any. The quantity you print will dictate your ink consumption. Ink cartridges typically cost between $6.99-$14.95 for an ink jet printer which is what most people have at home.
The alternative to printing the programs at home is taking it to a local FedEx Kinkos or office supply store. Walmart also provide printing services so be sure to check that out if you have one near you. These places will charge you cost per copy for full color ranges between $0.69-0.79 per copy or side. Your funeral programs are usually 4 sided or printed on one sheet of paper, front and back. That means 4 times the cost per copy. At .69 per copy equals to $2.76 each program. Some places may or may not include a folding fee. If you have help, you can save some money by folding it yourself. Folding fees can add additional $0.10-0.30 more per program. The majority of express printers do not include folding in the cost per copy so be sure to ask about this and whether it is included in the pricing.
You may also opt to submit your completed template file to us and we'll print it for you! We know our templates like the back of our hand so you can rest assured that every text and photo will be in alignment. We provide the extra above and beyond approach by double checking your file to ensure all is properly lined up and photos are never cut off the page.
