✨ Design Details

Steady Hands Funeral Program Template

Dressed in soft powder blue with a watercolor wash background, the Steady Hands template centers on a stethoscope formed into a heart — a quiet symbol of a life spent caring for others. Delicate silver-blue botanical sprigs frame the design, while a heartbeat line and small heart icon anchor the lower panel. The back page features the original poem "Safe in His Care" by C. Lindorfer, written for those who devoted their lives to healing — fully editable to swap in any verse or scripture that holds meaning for your family.

💡 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?" Most home printers and copy shops like FedEx and Staples use the Print Spread. Specialty print software and commercial printers typically need the Reader Order.

✨ 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
