HOMEGOING: Funeral Programs

HOMEGOING helps a family make a dignified funeral program and memorial page for someone they love, right from a phone or iPad. When the service is a few days away and the church or funeral home is asking for the program, HOMEGOING takes you through it one question at a time, in large, clear type. Everything saves on your device as you go, so you can stop and come back whenever you need to. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE - A printed program, ready for any print shop or home printer: a folded 8.5 x 11 program, an 8-page booklet, a smaller 5.5 x 8.5 program, or a single sheet. - A memorial page with the portrait, service times and addresses with map buttons, the livestream link, the obituary, the order of service, photos and a guestbook. - A short announcement you can send by text or share with family. THE STEPS 1. Your loved one: name, nickname, dates, and a portrait. 2. The service: date, time, viewing, church, officiant, livestream, interment and repast. 3. The obituary: seven gentle prompts, then a draft made only from your own words. 4. The order of service: start from a homegoing outline and move each part with a finger. 5. Family and words: pallbearers, flower bearers, the family's acknowledgment, and a favorite scripture. 6. Photos: add favorites for the collage. Move, zoom and turn them. Photos are never altered. 7. Design and print: four designs (Royal Purple & Gold, Ivory & Gold, Classic Black & Silver, Sky Blue & White) with a live preview that matches the printed page. 8. Memorial and share. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT There is no account to create. Your programs and photos stay on your device. A backup file lets you keep a copy or move to another phone. A memorial page goes online only if you choose to publish it. TRY IT FIRST Every program can be made, previewed and printed for free, with a light "HOMEGOING preview" mark, so you can check every word with the church before paying. Unlocking a program ($9.99, once per program) removes the mark and lets you publish its memorial page with its own link and shared guestbook.
