Sample Funeral Service


Basics You Should Know When Considering Memorial Cards For Funeral

If you need to attend a wake after someone has died, it is correct etiquette to offer a token of sympathy. You can send flowers or memorial cards for funeral services. These gifts are typically offered to the family of the deceased. They are given during the wake or a few days after the interment.

Giving a basket of blossoms is common practice to show that you empathize with the relatives of the deceased. Be aware that there are appropriate flower species that you can bring to a service. Some of these include roses, lilies, and carnations. The blooms can be presented as a wreath or in a basket.

You can also offer a pot of shrubs or a tree that can act as a life-long memorial for the deceased. This can be delivered to the venue or to the home of the grieving family. It can be planted on the ground to serve as remembrance to the dead in the garden.

You may also give a donation to a charity in lieu of flowers and traditional gifts. The departed or the family left behind may patronize a particular charitable group. You could make a cash donation to the organization in memory of the dead. Your contribution can be dedicated to the deceased.

You might be able to find a custom guestbook provider. Have one made for this particular interment with the name and other information of the dead etched onto the cover of the booklet. This is something that is useful and will definitely be used during the funeral service and wake.

Check out some note cards where you can write a short message of sympathy. There are those with pre-printed words of condolences and others that are blank where you can inscribe your own message. Send yours with a bouquet of flowers or a potted plant.
