What To Expect When Selecting Prayer Cards

If you learn that a friend's loved one has passed away, you might want to offer some help to ease the family's pain. It is normal custom to give a token of sympathy to empathize with the grieving family of the deceased. Consider giving flowers or funeral prayer cards to show support of the ones left behind.

Offering prayers is a good choice if the bereaved family is religious. You can also present other things like a memorial tree. This is an unusual choice but is a memorable one. The family can plant your offering at home or at the gravesite to serve as a lifelong memorial to the dead.

You may also give a memorial stone with a nice quotation or text engraved on it. That piece of stone slab can be placed in a pretty garden as a memorial to their deceased family member. Have pleasant words written on it that will bring back happy memories of their loved one.

You might want to create a photo album of the person who died and offer that to the family. Choose images that the deceased relatives have no copies of. At a time like this, those left behind often look for memorabilia of their loved one and a nice collection of pictures would be appreciated.

You bring food for the grieving family. This is a common offering and you can also pitch in if they are holding a reception after the funeral. It might be a good idea to offer non-perishable items for the guests. Food that will not spoil easily can be served throughout the entire wake.

It is a nice gesture to give prayer cards during the wake or after the burial. You can offer a card with a bouquet of flowers. Present it in a pretty leatherette folder or in a picture frame with a stand.
