More about Funeral Mass Books & Order of Service Sheets

Funeral Booklets for All Types of Services
While funeral mass books are traditionally associated with Catholic funerals, our funeral and order of service booklets are suitable for all types of funeral and memorial services.
This includes Catholic, Church of Ireland and other Christian services, as well as Humanist, non-religious and civil ceremonies. Each booklet can be tailored to reflect the particular service, whether it includes traditional prayers and hymns or personal readings, poems, music, photographs and tributes.
Every funeral is different. Whatever form the ceremony takes, the booklet can help family and friends follow the service while creating something personal that they can take home and keep.
Funeral Mass Books for Catholic Funerals in Ireland
Funeral mass books are widely used for Catholic funeral services throughout Ireland, helping to bring the different elements of the ceremony together in one place.
They allow mourners to follow readings, responses, prayers and hymns throughout the mass, making it easier for everyone to participate in the service.
The booklet can also reflect the life of your loved one through a chosen photograph, meaningful words, prayers, readings and contributions from family members, creating something personal to take home and keep.
Printed Funeral Mass Booklets for Order of Service Guidance
A Catholic funeral mass contains a number of different elements, and the funeral mass booklet provides a simple, clear guide for family and friends throughout the service.
It can include:
Introductory rites and prayers
Readings and responsorial psalms
Gospel and intercessions
Hymns with full verses
Communion responses
Final commendation
Names of family members or friends taking part in readings, Prayers of the Faithful or the Presentation of the Gifts can also be included, adding a more personal touch to the booklet.
Everything is presented in a clear order so mourners can comfortably follow and participate in the service.
Humanist & Non-Religious Funeral Order of Service Booklets
For Humanist, civil and non-religious funerals, the order of service can focus more closely on the life and personality of the person being remembered.
Rather than following a traditional religious structure, the booklet may include favourite photographs, personal readings, poems, music, memories, a eulogy or contributions from family and friends.
The result is a practical guide to the ceremony that can also capture something of the person's life, interests and character for family and friends to keep afterwards.
A5 Funeral Mass Book Printing with Saddle-Stitched Binding
Our funeral mass books and service booklets are produced in A5 format and saddle-stitched at the spine — a practical and familiar size that is comfortable to hold throughout the ceremony.
The cover is printed in full colour on 350gsm premium cardstock, providing a firm and durable outer cover particularly suited to reproducing a treasured photograph of your loved one.
Inner pages are printed in black and white on 100gsm bond paper, providing a clean and easy-to-read finish for prayers, readings, hymns, tributes and other service content.
The booklet is scored, folded and saddle-stitched at the spine, keeping all pages securely together during the service and afterwards.
Choosing 12, 16 or 20 Page Funeral Booklets
The number of pages you need will depend on the length of the service and how much you would like to include.
A 12-page funeral booklet is suitable for a more concise service containing the essential readings, prayers, hymns or other order of service information.
A 16-page booklet provides additional space for extra hymns, longer readings, photographs, a tribute or other personal content.
A 20-page funeral booklet is suited to a more detailed service with multiple hymns or songs, full responses, additional readings, prayers, photographs, tributes or family contributions.
Choosing the appropriate page count gives each element enough space and helps keep the finished booklet clear, dignified and easy to read.
Funeral Booklet Cover Design and Personalisation
The cover is an opportunity to make the funeral booklet personal to the life being remembered.
Typically, it includes the deceased's name, dates and a chosen photograph. A favourite prayer, verse, meaningful line or simple design element can also be incorporated.
Full colour printing allows photographs to form a beautiful focal point on the cover, while the overall design can be kept simple and understated.
For the best printed result, we recommend supplying the highest-resolution version of your chosen photograph available.
Inner Content Layout for Funeral Booklet Printing Ireland
Inside the funeral booklet, the emphasis is on making the service easy to follow while allowing space for the personal elements that make each funeral unique.
Depending on the type of ceremony, content can include:
Order of service
Readings, psalms and responses
Hymns or song lyrics where applicable
Prayers and congregation responses
Poems and personal reflections
Photographs
Eulogy or tribute
Family contributions
A short biography or remembrance
You may also wish to include the names of readers, musicians, soloists, celebrants or family members taking part in the ceremony.

What our customers say

Print Ready really assisted us with the Mass Booklet for my dads recent fumeral. Dad had asked that the funeral be a celebration of he and my mothers lives their six childrenand thirteen grandchildrem.While my Dad was a devote catholic he didnt want this to dominate the service. We had the wake in Dublin and the Funeral in Cork which created its own complications. We worked with the team integrating a lot of photos telling my dads story. Everything was to a very tight deadline. We had a draft back in a few hours and we only had one change to make. The team went into production and they were delivered to our home in Dublin the following morning. The quality was excellent and pricing very competatine. Print Ready took a big headache away from our family at a difficult time. At the funeral people commented that the Hymn booklet was the best they had ever seen and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thanks again to the team at Print Ready.
I found the service the team provided to be excellent. From initial query on Sat evening, which they responded to immediately even though it was late on Sat, to the final submission on Monday and delivery to Cork on Thursday. Would highly recommend this service, particularly for mass booklets. They were incredibly responsive to every query and the turnaround and quality of the end product was fantastic. Planning a funeral is difficult and stressful for everyone involved, this service took what could have been an additional stress away. Thank you team!
Unfortunately this is the 2nd time in 9 weeks we had to use the funeral booklet service- luckily Gary and Neto were extremely professional and able to turn around our order really fast. Highly recommend.
Thanks to everyone in Print Ready. I got the mass booklets for my Nanny's funeral printed within 24 hours and they were of great quality. Thanks again.
I asked Print Ready, at very short notice, to print a booklet for a church service. There were alterations, editions and corrections required prior to printing and Print Ready could not have been more accommodating. A bilingual booklet was required and the team were very good at handling the challenging text.
