Funeral Mass BOOKLET DIGITAL Design setup (no prints)

Custom Funeral Mass BOOKLET Download DIGITAL (8 page booklet of Funeral Mass)
If you are too far away from Massachusetts and have no time for shipping before the service I can create a Digital Design of the booklet- an image file or pdf that can be printed near you.
note: I cannot guarantee the quality of another print center’s print, paper, score and fold, BUT if time and distance are a problem I am still happy to help you set up the booklet (make everything fit nicely in the order you want), edit photos, and customize.
Completed booklet will be emailed as 4 png images (2 sides of cover and 2 sides of inside) and/or shareable link to pdf documents.

Just like the printed booklets the digital version includes: Full text of Readings and Responsorial Psalm, Hymn lyrics, Names and relation of those participating in the Mass or service, text of Personalized Prayers of the Faithful, Poems and accent images. In place of poem on the back a portion of the obituary can be printed.

Completely customizable for what YOU need – can incorporate more parts of the Mass, sit/kneel prompts etc.

*there is a large amount of time and work involved to make everything fit into a booklet nicely as every reading and hymn and petition are different lengths.  I am dedicated to making your booklet look the way that you want, but I have increased my price a bit recently as this takes time away from my other printed products and the price needs to reflect the large amount of work and time involved

See Funeral Booklets for more information and service selections or Online Shop to look through the Booklet themes in more detail.

Don’t worry, Nothing is set in stone until you approve a final draft !!

Selecting Images

The larger the file size, the better the quality (less blurry). I have found photos of at least 1 MB to be best for this- I can often sharpen and fix lighting, but it is always better to start with a larger photo.

• If it is a digital image, finding the original source can help, then having them EMAIL it to you(texting tends to resize the image and make it less sharp.)

• If you have a printed photograph, often taking a photo of the photo with your cellphone can get a very good image (just remove it from the frame/glass first) and try to keep things level.

• An uncropped image is best. I can crop it and blur the background
• photo editing is provided as part of this purchase
