Assuming your pace: 130 words/min — a measured ceremonial pace. Adjust it, or read a short passage aloud to measure yours.

130 words/min

Run order

  • Spoken words0:00

Add entry, music, a reading, exit, or any other part of the ceremony to build the full run order.

Crematorium slot length

Slot lengths vary by crematorium — 30 minutes is the most common booking, and the booked slot includes people arriving and leaving, so your usable time is less. Check with your crematorium.

How it works

  1. Paste your ceremony script into the box. Stage directions like [pause] and (music) are automatically excluded from the spoken count.
  2. Add the non-spoken parts — music, entry, exit, committal — and pick your crematorium slot length.
  3. See the verdict instantly: fits, tight, or over. The full run sheet shows you exactly where the time goes.
