Who this template is for
Funeral Service Planning is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in faith & congregations.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 35 questions across 3 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 20 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is a funeral director appointed?” is Yes, “Funeral director name and contact” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Will there be a eulogy?” is Yes, “Who will give it” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Will there be refreshments afterwards?” is Yes, “Where, and approximate numbers” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Flowers” is No flowers, donations instead, the form dynamically exposes “Where donations should go”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How is this different from a memorial tribute submission?
A tribute is one person contributing words or a memory. This plans the whole service with the family who are arranging it.
Does it work for a non-religious service?
Largely, yes. The wording stays neutral and readings, music and participants are open fields, so celebrants can use it as it stands.
Should families complete it alone?
Only if they want to. Offer to go through it together; the answers are usually better and the process is much kinder.
What if the date is not known yet?
Leave it blank. Most families start planning before the date is fixed, which is why those fields are not required.
Is the Funeral Service Planning template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Funeral Service Planning on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

It asks 35 questions across 3 pages, 20 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
