Velvet Tribute Funeral Program

A Celebration as Bold and Beautiful as the Life They Lived.

Not every program needs to be soft and floral. Some families want something bold — a design that feels as full of life as the person they're honoring. This velvet tribute funeral program does that, with a deep purple magazine-style cover, large name typography, and a portrait photo that makes it feel personal from the first glance. A beautiful order of service and bereavement keepsake for everyone who loved them.

Deep color. Bold presence. A tribute that holds the weight of who they were.

✨ Design Details

Velvet Tribute is built on a deep, rich purple background with a magazine-style "Celebrating the Life Of" header — the kind of layout that feels contemporary and significant at the same time. Large, bold typography sets the name front and center, paired with a full portrait photo that makes the cover feel personal rather than generic. The back page carries the original poem "What Matters Most" by C. Lindorfer — warm, unhurried, and fully editable — alongside the script footer "Do not mourn my death; celebrate my life." It's a program that feels like it was made for someone who mattered, because it was.

✨ 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 heavy 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 same-day 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.

Yes — the photo placeholder and all text, including the poem and scripture, are fully editable. You can swap in any verse or poem that holds meaning for your family.

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.

No charges from us. Canva is free to use with this template. Printing costs are separate and paid to your print shop.

Can I change the colors and fonts?
Yes — colors and fonts can be adjusted in Canva to match your preferences.

Yes — the photo placeholder on the front cover is fully editable. Simply upload your photo in Canva and place it in the designated area.

How long until I receive the template?
Instantly. You'll receive a PDF download immediately after purchase containing your Canva link.

Is this a single-use license?
Yes — this template is licensed for single use per program print run. Each new memorial service requires a new purchase.

What size does it print?
Standard variant prints at 8.5" x 11". Tabloid variant prints at 11" x 17" and folds to a booklet. Digital is optimized for screens.

The template includes 12 pages. You can use as few as 4, and expand by duplicating pages in sets of 4 — there is no maximum page limit.

Will my printed program have a white border?
Yes — standard home and office printers are not full-bleed printers, so a small white border will appear around the edges. This is completely normal. Simply trim the edges after printing for a clean, finished look.

Will the colors look exactly like the preview?
Colors may vary depending on your monitor settings and printer. Every screen and printer is different — we recommend printing a test page first and adjusting your printer settings as needed. For the most accurate color results, use a professional print shop.

Can I print this at home?

Can I have it printed at a print shop?
Absolutely — FedEx, Staples, and most local print shops can print from your downloaded PDF, often same-day, and will ensure professional color accuracy.

Can I add music to the digital version?
Yes — the Digital variant is designed for sharing. Edit your template in Canva, add background music (upload your own or choose from Canva's free music library), then download as an MP4 video file. Perfect for sharing on Facebook, Instagram, or via text and email with family who couldn't attend in person.

How long does it take to edit?
Most families complete editing in 15–30 minutes.
