I was just 15 when my daddy passed away. All we had was a brief obituary in the newspaper; my mom couldn't afford a program for his service. It was heartbreaking, and I didn't have anything to remember that day by.

Fast forward to 2011, and I lost my vibrant, full-of-life mom to congestive heart failure. It happened so suddenly. Even though I was an event planner with website building skills, grief hit me hard. I couldn't bring myself to organize anything beyond a small luncheon for my siblings. Being the eldest, everyone expected me to take charge of her funeral, but honestly, I didn't even know where to begin. It was tough, but I got through it somehow.

Then, a few years later, cancer took my younger sister. Before she passed, she told me, "Rosie, I want you to plan my funeral because I know it'll be beautiful." Planning the event wasn't the hard part; I wanted to create a special program for her. Despite being a whiz at WORD, I bought a template for over $40, thinking it would simplify things. Four hours later, I was in tears, struggling to make it work. I promised myself then and there to make this process easier and more affordable for others wanting to honor their loved ones beautifully.

That's why I created the Funeral Program Templates Site where with just one click, you can choose the perfect theme that truly represents your loved one with matching Canva templates, so you can easily create a cohesive and beautiful memorial.

I know how deep the pain can be during such a tender time. My hope is that my funeral and celebration of life templates make it a bit easier for you to honor your loved one. I've also put together step-by-step videos, just in case you need a little extra help.

Remember, I'm here for you. If you have any questions, or if you'd prefer to have the funeral or celebration of life templates created for you, reach out. I are here to help in any way I can.
