Sunflower on Sage Funeral Program
For the warmth they brought into everyday life
Some people seemed to turn toward the light and bring everyone around them along. You remember the stories they told, the comfort of their voice, and how they showed up for the people they loved. The Sunflower on Sage funeral program gives your family a place to gather those memories. Golden sunflower petals stand against a muted sage-green field, with a portrait on the front and the original poem “Always Near” on the back. Editable in Canva, the order of service can hold the names, dates, photographs, and words that belong to their story. In a time of bereavement, there's no rush — shape those details whenever you're ready. A remembrance for the people who still feel their kindness close.
For a warmth that stays with you.

✨ What's Included
- Canva template link delivered via email after purchase
- Standard & Tabloid variants include two layouts:

💡 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.

- Edit the name, dates, photo, scripture, poem, and any text to personalize
- Download as PDF and print at home, FedEx, Staples, or your local print shop.
✨ 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
- Golden sunflowers give both covers a bright, recognizable motif.
- The portrait sits within a subtle sunflower outline rather than being lost among the petals.
- “Always Near” can be personalized or replaced with words that feel right 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.
