For funeral directors in the UK and Ireland
Orders of service, beautifully set and printed right first time.

What Quire does
Everything an order of service needs, and nothing to learn.
British forms
The words as your books print them
Hymns, prayers and readings in their British, Welsh and Irish forms, with the verses the congregation knows and the tune the organist will play.
One link
Approved from the family’s phone
The family reads the proof as a booklet, marks any change where it belongs, and approves it. You keep the record.
Actual size
Printed right on your own printer
Pages arrive in booklet order with the settings already chosen. No shrunk pages, no upside-down backs, no wasted card.
The craft
Set as a fine printer would set it, every time.
Every booklet follows the rules a good printer keeps, whatever is typed in. So it can’t come out wrong, and nobody needs to be a designer to make something the family will keep.
- Verses never break across a page
- Headings stay with what follows
- Welsh beside English, line for line
- Hymns never smaller than 11 point
- Fitted to 4, 8 or 12 pages

The name
quire /ˈkwʌɪə/
- Four sheets of paper folded together to make one section of a book; from the Latin quaterni, “four at a time”.
- The old spelling of choir.
An order of service is a small quire: a few sheets, folded, read from front to back on one morning. We named Quire after it, and after the choir that sings from it.
Opening in 2027
