Eulogy Booklet Prices in Kenya: What You Pay For

Funeral committees often ask the same question first: what do eulogy booklet prices in Kenya look like, and what is actually included? The answer depends on two separate costs, design and printing, and on how many pages the family needs.

Design and printing are two different costs

Design is the work of turning the eulogy, programme, tributes and photographs into a finished, print-ready booklet. Printing is the cost of producing the copies, which depends on how many you need, the paper, the size and the finishing.

Some studios quote both together; others quote design only. Always ask which one a price covers, so you compare like with like.

What affects the price of a eulogy booklet

  • Number of pages: more pages mean more layout work for the life story, tributes and photographs.
  • Amount of content: a long eulogy, many tributes or several languages take more time to arrange.
  • Photographs: restoring, cropping and arranging old photos adds care and time.
  • Deadline: a burial date that is days away may limit what is possible, so ask early.
  • Printing choices: quantity, paper weight, cover finish and colour all change the print cost.

Our design prices

At The Hub Design Studio, design is priced by page count so families know the cost from the start:

  • Essential, 12 pages: KES 12,500
  • Signature, 16 pages: KES 15,500
  • Legacy, 20 pages: KES 18,500

These are design-only prices. Printing is quoted separately once we know the quantity, size, paper and finishing you want. See everything each package includes on our packages section.

What a design package should include

When you compare quotes, check that the design price covers:

  • A memorial theme, colour palette and typography chosen for your loved one
  • The cover and the full booklet layout
  • Organising the programme, life story and tributes so they read well
  • Arranging and cropping your photographs
  • Revision rounds, so you can correct names, dates and hymn verses
  • A digital PDF to share and print-ready files for the printer

Every Hub package also includes a QR code linked to a digital copy, one to three matching burial posters, an optional on-site consultation with the committee and, with Signature and Legacy, a complimentary condolence book.

How to choose the right number of pages

  • 12 pages suits a focused booklet: the cover, programme, life story, a few tributes and a photo page.
  • 16 pages gives more room for tributes and photographs, which many families appreciate.
  • 20 pages suits large families, long life stories, several languages or many photographs.

Questions to ask a designer before you book

Before you pay a deposit, ask these questions so there are no surprises later:

  1. Is the price for design only, or design and printing? Get the printing quote separately if needed.
  2. How many revision rounds are included? Corrections to names and dates should never cost extra if the mistake is the designer's.
  3. When will we see the first draft? Agree a date that works with the burial date.
  4. What files will we receive? You need a print-ready file for the printer and a digital copy to share on WhatsApp.
  5. Who on our committee gives the feedback? One person sending one consolidated list of changes keeps the work fast and accurate.

A good studio will answer all five clearly before you commit.

Tips to stay within budget

  1. Agree one committee member to collect and send all content in one go.
  2. Confirm the order of service with the minister before design starts.
  3. Choose photographs early, with captions, rather than adding them late.
  4. Decide the print quantity early so the printer can quote accurately.

Planning the programme itself? Read what goes in a funeral programme. Ready to start? Send us the burial date on WhatsApp and we will confirm the timeline and share samples.
