A Briefs At Funeral Prayer Cards

When you find out that someone you know is grieving from a death in the family, your first reaction would probably to offer help. It is also normal to offer some kind of token to express your sympathy. Most people give flower baskets but you can also send funeral prayer cards instead.

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.

If you have photographs of the deceased that the family members do not have copies of, consider compiling them into an album. The recipients will appreciate this gift, especially if they have never seen the pictures before. Most family members collect items of the deceased after they die and this could make a good offering to them.

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.
