How to Shorten a Funeral Program Paragraph Without Losing Its Meaning
InMemoryStudio ·
Shortening is most effective when you remove repetition rather than important facts. A readable paragraph is more useful than the same story squeezed into tiny type.
Edit in two passes
First remove sentences repeating an earlier idea. Then shorten phrases such as was someone who always to always. Preserve the event, relationship, and specific detail that give the memory its meaning.
Final check
Read the edited paragraph next to the original and ask whether its emotional point has changed.
