✨ Design Details

Rustic Nature Funeral Program Template

The Mountain River template wraps the cover in a rich watercolor wilderness scene — a winding river catching the light, pine-covered mountains rising in the distance, and a warm earthy palette of deep greens, warm browns, and soft blues that feels grounded and timeless. The cover frames a portrait photo placeholder, name, and dates against the natural landscape, with typography that feels honest and unhurried. Interior sections include the order of service, obituary, a poem or reading placeholder, and acknowledgments — all fully editable in Canva. The back page poem placeholder is completely customizable, so you can swap in any verse or scripture that holds meaning for your family.

✨ 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. 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.

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.

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

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.
