Facts To Know When Picking Funeral Memorial Cards

When attending a funeral service, you should bring a token or gift showing that you empathize with the grieving family. You should take a basket of flowers or consider some memorial cards for funeral events. Assistance to the grieving family and interment gifts can be offered before or after the burial.

Carnations, white lilies and roses are common blossoms given to the family of the deceased. They are usually offered with a sympathy card from the sender.

If you want to give something that will last a lifetime, consider giving a plat or tree. You may present this in a small pot at the funeral service. You can also send it to the residence of the grieving family. As a lifetime remembrance to the dead, the plant or shrub can be planted 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.
