What You Should Learn When Considering Funeral Memorial Cards

If you are going to attend someone's interment, it might be proper to bring a token or offering that shows empathy to the family of the dead. Traditionally flowers are sent but you can also check out some memorial cards for funeral purposes. These are usually given to the grieving relatives during or before the burial.

You may offer flowers as most traditionally do. Flower baskets are usually given during the wake. There are certain blooms that are appropriate for the occasion. 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.

You could present the family of the deceased with a memorial guestbook. Don't just get any booklet off the shelf of a bookstore. There are custom-made books that have the name and other details about the dead engraved on the booklet. This is something that is often necessary at memorial services.

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.
