What To Know When Selecting Funeral 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.

Praying for the dead will be greatly appreciated by the family of deceased, especially if they are spiritual. You can also choose to offer something else such as a potted plant. This is a unique gift that can last forever, especially if it is planted in the garden of the deceased loved ones.

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.

Brining trays of food is common custom and a considerate one if the family of the dead is hosting an after-burial reception. Your contribution can be helpful at a time when grieving family members would rather not bother with preparing food for guests. Choose non-perishable items that can last till the burial.

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.
