Somebody in the family has been asked to pull the words together, and the printed funeral order of service still has to be ordered, proofed and in the room on the day.<\/p>\n<p>This guide walks through the practical sequence for an A5 order of service booklet: usual contents, page counts, size and paper, how many to order, and how proofing and timing work. It is written for families ordering an A5 funeral order of service online, where the live price is shown before paying.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cheat-sheet\" style=\"background:#f8f6f3;border-left:4px solid #c9a96e;padding:20px 24px;margin:28px 0;\">\n<p><strong>The short version<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Common contents include a cover photo, names and dates, service details, the running order, readings, a tribute, photos and thanks.<\/li>\n<li>Page totals step up in fours, and the cover is one folded sheet making up four of those pages.<\/li>\n<li>A5 is the usual size at 148 x 210 mm.<\/li>\n<li>Quantities start at a minimum of 10 and step through 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000.<\/li>\n<li>A digital proof is emailed before printing, and the service date belongs in the Special Request box.<\/li>\n<li>An 8 page A5 booklet ordered at 100 copies costs $2.06 per copy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What usually goes inside an order of service<\/h2>\n<p>Most order of service booklets open with a cover photo and the person&#8217;s full name and dates, followed by the date, time and place of the service. The running order usually sits early so guests can follow along. Readings, hymns, songs or poems often appear between the parts. The eulogy or a written tribute can fill a page or two, and a page of photographs gives people something quiet to look through.<\/p>\n<p>A memorial booklet often mixes the formal running order with personal photos, and the final pages can hold a brief note of thanks and the address for the gathering afterwards. Not every booklet has to hold all of these: an 8 page version fits the cover, service details, running order, one reading and a closing thanks, while a longer version gives photographs and tributes more room. Choose what the people in the room will actually want in their hands.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:32px auto;text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/booklets-fos1-f8d8c3.jpg\" alt=\"One A5 funeral order of service booklet open at centre spread on pale oak, four black and white photos, staples in fold\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size:0.85em;line-height:1.45;color:#666;margin-top:8px;text-align:center;\">Saddle stitched A5 booklet open to a centre spread with a four photo collage and visible wire staples.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Choosing pages that fit the service<\/h2>\n<p>The page count includes the cover, which is one folded sheet and adds four printed pages: outside front, inside front, inside back, outside back. The total rises in steps of four because every folded sheet makes four pages, and the order form offers counts from 8 to 56. An 8 page booklet is two folded sheets, a 12 page booklet is three, and a 16 page booklet is four.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background:#1a1a1a;color:#fff;\">\n<th style=\"padding:11px 16px;text-align:left;\">Page count<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:11px 16px;text-align:left;\">What usually fits<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Cover, full name and dates, service details, short running order, one reading or short tribute<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">12<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Cover, service details, running order, two readings or songs, a short eulogy page, thanks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">16<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Cover, service details, running order, several readings or poems, a eulogy or tribute, a photo page, thanks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">20<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;\">Cover, service details, running order, several readings or poems, a longer eulogy, two photo pages, gathering details<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>If what you have collected sits between two page counts, the gap can be given to a photo page, a short quote or a notes page. Sometimes the calmer fix is to trim a reading and keep the booklet at eight or twelve pages rather than stretching to sixteen. Because the cover is already part of the count, two extra folded sheets change the weight and feel.<\/p>\n<h2>Why A5 is the usual size and how paper feels in the hand<\/h2>\n<p>Most families choose <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/products\/a5-booklets\">A5 booklets<\/a> for a funeral order of service because the size is easy to hold and pass along while leaving room for a photo and a reading on each spread. A5 is 148 x 210 mm in portrait or landscape. <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/products\/dl-booklets\">DL booklets<\/a> at 99 x 210 mm are a slimmer portrait option for a short running order or service sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Inside pages come in matte and gloss stocks: 128gsm or 170gsm matte keeps text-heavy pages easy to read, while 113gsm or 150gsm gloss gives photographs more depth. Covers come in 150gsm gloss, 170gsm matte, 250gsm gloss or 250gsm matte, with lamination available on the 250gsm covers only. If the booklet will be handled during the service and kept afterwards, the heavier laminated cover is worth choosing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:32px auto;text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/booklets-fos2-b17e22.jpg\" alt=\"Pile of closed A5 funeral order of service booklets tied with ribbon, five fanned showing covers and wire staples\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size:0.85em;line-height:1.45;color:#666;margin-top:8px;text-align:center;\">Saddle stitched A5 order of service booklets show the In Loving Memory covers and wire staples on the spines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How many printed booklets to order<\/h2>\n<p>How many funeral booklets to order depends on expected guests, whether you give one per household or one per person, and how many people may want a copy to keep or post. The order form steps through 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000, with a minimum order of 10.<\/p>\n<p>GST is included, and the on-screen total changes with each selection. On the listed A5 portrait prices read 30 September 2026, an 8 page booklet with 150gsm gloss inside pages and a 150gsm gloss cover totals $164.22 for 50 copies, or $3.28 per copy. At 100 copies, that 8 page booklet costs $206.87, or $2.06 per copy. A 16 page version at 100 copies with the same gloss configuration costs $287.86. At 250 copies, the 8 page gloss booklet totals $335.17, or $1.34 per copy.<\/p>\n<p>The matte configuration changes the price through cover stock and lamination. An A5 8 page booklet with 128gsm matte inside pages, a 250gsm matte cover and matte lamination comes to $308.18 for 100 copies, or $3.08 per copy. The 16 page version of the same matte setup totals $434.98, or $4.34 per copy.<\/p>\n<p>Delivery is charged per order, not per booklet: standard Australia Post $10 per order, express StarTrack $15 per order, and pickup from 23 Manton Road, Oakleigh South VIC 3167 at no charge Monday to Friday. Prices can change, so the product page should be checked before paying.<\/p>\n<h2>Timing the order from proof to booklets in hand<\/h2>\n<p>The order timeline starts with a digital proof emailed within 1 to 2 business days, at no extra cost, and nothing prints until you approve it. Production then takes 3 to 7 working days. Once production wraps, dispatch follows on the next business day and a tracking number is emailed, after which the delivery window begins. Standard Australia Post takes 2 to 5 business days metro and 4 to 6 business days regional after dispatch, while Express StarTrack takes 1 to 2 business days metro and 3 to 5 business days regional. Melbourne families can instead pick up from 23 Manton Road, Oakleigh South VIC 3167, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, at no charge.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/production-and-delivery\">production and delivery<\/a> page shows each stage in one place. Write the date you need the booklets in the Special Request box at checkout. The team will reply whether it can be met, and urgent orders are prioritised where the queue allows. Peak periods can add time. Production windows are an estimate, any courier hold-up is outside Paperlust&#8217;s control, and a delivery date is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image ps-blog-img\" style=\"margin:32px auto;text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/booklets-fos3-b75c59.jpg\" alt=\"Close view of a funeral order of service booklet in A5 at centre spread with full bleed coastal photo and staples\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size:0.85em;line-height:1.45;color:#666;margin-top:8px;text-align:center;\">The open A5 order of service booklet has a full bleed photo across the centre spread and staples in the fold.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Setting up the artwork file and checking it<\/h2>\n<p>For funeral booklet printing, the quiet work happens before upload. Supply a print-ready PDF, SVG or Adobe Illustrator file with a 3mm bleed on all edges, keep text and important elements at least 3mm from the trim line, outline the fonts, and embed images at 300dpi. A person checks every file before the digital proof is emailed.<\/p>\n<p>Before approving the proof, someone in the family should check the spellings of names, the dates, the running order and the photo captions once more. A typo approved on the proof becomes a shared cost if the finished booklets need a reprint, so the check matters. Within 30 days of dispatch, a print problem reported to Paperlust is reprinted at no cost under the Perfect Print Promise.<\/p>\n<p>Families without a designer can add help in the cart. Artwork Fix refines an existing editable file, including scaling, cropping, adding text, logos and images, and re-arranging the layout. Custom Design pairs the job with a professional designer, two design options and three rounds of revision. If you are unsure about stock choices, the <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/paper-weight-gsm-guide\">paper weight<\/a> guide explains GSM in plain terms. If the booklet is part of a larger gathering, the <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/blog\/event-program-booklet-printing\">event program<\/a> article covers related print planning.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What size is usual for a funeral order of service?<\/h3>\n<p>A5 is the usual size for a funeral order of service, at 148 x 210 mm. It is available portrait or landscape and gives enough room for a cover photo, the running order and a reading without feeling bulky in the hand. A DL booklet at 99 x 210 mm is a slimmer portrait option for a shorter service sheet. A4 booklets at 210 x 297 mm are also listed, but many families find A5 easier for guests to hold and keep.<\/p>\n<h3>How many pages should an order of service booklet have?<\/h3>\n<p>Page counts run from 8 to 56 printed pages in steps of 4, and the cover counts as four of those printed pages: outside front, inside front, inside back and outside back. A folded sheet makes four pages, so even the smallest booklet uses two folded sheets. An 8 page version holds the cover, service details, a short running order and a reading. A 12 or 16 page version gives more room for a eulogy and photographs, while 20 pages can carry several readings and photo pages.<\/p>\n<h3>How many funeral booklets should I order?<\/h3>\n<p>The minimum order is 10 booklets. The order form offers quantities of 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000. A smaller service may only need one per household, while a larger gathering may need one per person plus a few spares for people who want a copy to keep or post. Ordering a few extra is often the safer choice, so there is a small buffer for people who ask for one later.<\/p>\n<h3>What does a funeral booklet cost?<\/h3>\n<p>The cost includes GST and adjusts with the configuration you select. On the price list read 30 September 2026, an A5 8 page booklet with 150gsm gloss inside pages and a 150gsm gloss cover totals $206.87 for 100 copies, or $2.06 per copy. With 128gsm matte inside pages, a 250gsm matte cover and matte lamination, the 8 page count totals $308.18 for 100 copies, or $3.08 per copy. Delivery is charged per order at $10 standard or $15 express.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I get funeral booklets in time for the service?<\/h3>\n<p>Put the date you need them in the Special Request box at checkout, and the team will reply whether it can be met. A digital proof is emailed within 1 to 2 business days, and production takes 3 to 7 working days after you approve it. The order is sent out the next business day after production ends, and a tracking number is emailed. Delivery time then starts after dispatch. Standard delivery, express delivery and pickup are available at checkout. Production times are estimates and delivery dates are not guaranteed.<\/p>\n<h3>Do photos print well in a memorial booklet?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, when the file is prepared correctly. Supply images embedded at 300dpi with 3mm bleed on every edge, and keep text and important elements at least 3mm inside the trim. Fonts should be outlined and the file supplied as a print-ready PDF, SVG or Adobe Illustrator file. If photographs carry the booklet, a gloss inside stock gives them extra depth. A matte inside stock is easier to read for pages that are mostly text.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What size is usual for a funeral order of service?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"A5 is the usual size for a funeral order of service, at 148 x 210 mm.
