Simply open the file, add your text and photos, and make changes at your own pace. This method gives you full control while still starting with a professionally designed layout.

The second option is our easy online editor. This is perfect if you don’t want to install any software. Our online editor works right in your web browser with an internet connection.

There’s nothing to download, and you can work from any computer, making this a convenient and modern solution.
The third way is by creating a digital funeral program. With this option, you edit your funeral program online using Google Docs, and no printing is required. Once completed, your digital funeral program can be shared with family and friends through a QR code or link. Guests can scan the code and view the program instantly on their mobile phone, tablet, or desktop computer. This is an excellent choice for virtual services, out-of-town guests, or families looking for a paperless solution.
