Basics You Should Expect When Picking 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.

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.

Another great idea is to offer a slab of stone with a nice quote engraved in it. Instead of offering a card, this unique piece of decor can be installed in a garden. It can also be placed indoors in a special place of the house. Have something memorable etched into the piece that will bring back good memories of the dead.

You can also compile a bunch of photos in a video or photo album and offer that to the family of the dead. Pick images that only you have. The relatives of the deceased will love seeing new pictures of their loved one that they have never seen before.

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.

Giving prayer cards is a nice gesture that can be offered with some flowers or a potted plant. Make an effort to present it nicely. Place the card inside a pretty folded case made of hide or faux leather.
