4.9 Dove Sketch 2 Order of Service

The “Dove Sketch” funeral order of service design encapsulates peace, purity, and the soul’s journey with the symbolic grace of a dove. Its cover is adorned with a delicate, artful sketch of a dove in flight, its wings spread wide against a serene background. This imagery, evocative of freedom and transcendence, tenderly mirrors the journey of the departed, soaring towards eternal peace. The dove’s elegant form, captured in soft lines and gentle shading, sets a tone of solemn beauty and spiritual upliftment. The loved one’s name and lifespan are integrated into the design with respect and subtlety, underscoring the theme of a soul at peace.

Inside, the theme is carried through with care and reverence. The pages may feature lighter, more subtle sketches of doves or soft feather motifs, providing a consistent yet understated visual thread throughout the service. This design strategy ensures that the focus remains on the service’s elements—readings, hymns, eulogies—while enveloping them in a context of serenity and hope. The layout is clean and accessible, with each part of the ceremony clearly delineated, ensuring that attendees can follow the proceedings with ease. Typography is selected not only for readability but also for its ability to harmonize with the sketch’s delicate lines, enhancing the overall sense of peace and reflection.
