Her Music Plays On — Funeral Program Template
Honor a Life That Kept the Music Playing
Some people leave a song behind. The Her Music Plays On funeral program template was made for families honoring someone whose spirit — joyful, warm, and full of life — deserves more than a quiet goodbye. A bold retro rainbow design bursting with teal, tomato red, golden orange, and lime green, it carries the feeling of a life lived with color and rhythm. Canva editable on the free plan, it fits naturally into any bereavement service as both a printed order of service and a keepsake families will hold onto. The record player label text on the back cover reads "Her Music plays on…" — and it's fully editable, so you can personalize it for him, them, or anyone your family is honoring.
Bold enough to celebrate. Warm enough to comfort. A tribute as full of life as they were.

✨ Design Details
Retro Rainbow Funeral Program Template
The front cover features a vibrant diagonal rainbow stripe background in teal, red, orange, green, and yellow — a bold, joyful palette that feels like a celebration of life rather than a somber farewell. The name area uses large display serif and script typography in teal and red, and a cluster of retro daisy and poppy florals frames the photo placeholder. The tagline "Forever in our hearts, always in our story." anchors the lower cover. The back page carries the original poem "A Life From a Simpler Time" — © C. Lindorfer, fully editable — set over a softly lit cream sunburst center with the same rainbow stripe border, and a vintage turquoise record player illustration with editable label text below the poem. Every element that makes this design feel like them is something you can change.

💡 Not sure which layout to use? If you're printing at a professional print shop, ask them before downloading: "Do you need a print spread or reader order file?"

✨ Printing Tips
- Laser: Laser printers produce professional-quality results with sharp detail and accurate color — 24–28 lb paper works beautifully.
- Inkjet: For inkjet printers, use a coated matte or semi-gloss paper (28 lb or heavier) at your printer's highest quality setting for best results.
- White border note: Standard home and print shop printers are not full-bleed printers — your program will print with a small white border around the edges. This is normal and expected. Simply trim the edges after printing for a clean, finished look.
- Local print shops like FedEx, Staples, and The UPS Store can print your program and will ensure professional color accuracy. Tabloid size (11" x 17") folds to a standard 8.5" x 11" booklet. Standard size (8.5" x 11") folds to a 5.5" x 8.5" booklet — a classic half-fold program size.
💙 Why Families Love This Program

- The record player label text — "Her Music plays on…" — is fully editable, so you can personalize it for anyone: him, her, them, or a custom phrase your family holds dear.
- The back page features the original poem "A Life From a Simpler Time" — fully editable so you can keep it, swap it for a scripture, or replace it with your own words.

Can I change the record player label text?
Yes — the label text that reads "Her Music plays on…" is fully editable. You can change it to "His Music plays on…" or any custom phrase.
Can I edit this on my phone?
Yes — Canva works on mobile. For best results, we recommend a desktop or tablet for editing, especially when placing or blending the portrait photo.
