In-House vs Outsourced Order of Service Printing: Why More Funeral Directors Are Bringing It Back Under Their Roof
When it comes to producing high-quality orders of service, funeral directors often face a big decision:
keep printing in-house or outsource to an external supplier.
While outsourcing can seem easier at first glance, more and more funeral homes are discovering that in-house printing — when done with the right equipment — offers unmatched control, speed, and profitability.
The Problem with Outsourcing
Relying on an external printer often means:
- Tight, inflexible deadlines
- Delays with couriers
- Last-minute changes that are difficult (or impossible) to make
- Higher per-unit costs
- Less control over quality and materials
For a profession where time and precision are crucial, these challenges can add unnecessary stress.
