Word Document Redesign – Death Certificate Order Form for Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services

Form Design | Branded PDF Document | Bilingual Order Form

Project Overview

For this project, I was asked to redesign a vital documents request form — specifically, a death certificate order form — to reflect the client’s professional branding and improve its usability.

The existing document was functional but lacked visual consistency and brand alignment. My task was to turn this utilitarian form into a clean, on-brand document that would feel both professional and easy to use, while supporting both English and Spanish users.


🔑 Key Features:

  • Brand-Aligned Redesign:
    I matched the form’s layout, fonts, and color scheme with the client’s brand guidelines using a reference PDF provided.

  • Checkbox Conversion:
    Replaced text-based “Yes / No” fields with intuitive checkboxes and X-mark options for better clarity and user experience.

  • Bilingual Layout:
    Created a clean second-page translation in Spanish, mirroring the structure and formatting of the English page for consistency.

  • Form Readability & Flow:
    Improved the spacing, alignment, and typographic hierarchy to make the form easier to complete by hand or digitally.

  • Print & Digital Compatibility:
    Designed for high legibility whether printed or used as a fillable PDF.

This redesign helped the client elevate an essential customer-facing document, bringing clarity, usability, and brand consistency to an otherwise overlooked touchpoint.
