Teal Funeral Programmes
Teal — the calm of blue and the life of green in one gentle tone.
Teal blends the peace of blue with the freshness of green, which gives it a modern, hopeful feeling that still behaves gently in a chapel. It is a lovely, less-expected choice for a celebration of life, and the eucalyptus design sits close by if you want to lean greener.

Where the colour comes from
Teal has no traditional funeral association at all, which is exactly why some families choose it: it does not arrive carrying anyone else’s meaning. What it does carry is water — it is the colour of shallow sea — so it is chosen disproportionately for people whose lives were spent on or near the coast, and for services held there.
Beyond the booklet
Because it has no convention behind it, nothing else has to match. Families who choose teal usually do so because it was the person’s colour, and the rest of the day follows that rather than a scheme. White flowers keep it clean; adding a second accent tends to make it look uncertain rather than considered.
Common questions
Is teal too bright for a funeral?+
No — the teal here is a soft, muted tone rather than a vivid one, so it feels calm and current rather than loud.
What kind of service suits teal?+
Teal suits a modern service or a celebration of life especially well, and works for any faith or none.
Is teal an odd choice for a funeral?+
Less so every year. It reads as calm and contemporary and it carries no traditional association either way, which is what families like about it — the colour is doing what they intend rather than what convention intends.
Does it suit an older congregation?+
It is read as modern, which for some congregations is a comment and for others is nothing at all. Where the family is unsure, the softer blues carry a similar calm with more convention behind them.
