Facts To Expect When Selecting Funeral Memorial Cards

If you need to attend a wake after someone has died, it is correct etiquette to offer a token of sympathy. You can send flowers or memorial cards for funeral services. These gifts are typically offered to the family of the deceased. They are given during the wake or a few days after the interment.

Giving a basket of blossoms is common practice to show that you empathize with the relatives of the deceased. Be aware that there are appropriate flower species that you can bring to a service. Some of these include roses, lilies, and carnations. The blooms can be presented as a wreath or in a basket.

You can also offer a pot of shrubs or a tree that can act as a life-long memorial for the deceased. This can be delivered to the venue or to the home of the grieving family. It can be planted on the ground to serve as remembrance to the dead in the garden.

If the deceased was a charitable person, you can offer monetary donations to the dead person's favorite charity. Sometimes the family can choose an organization to give contributions too. You can have your donation made in honor of the dead person. You can get a customized plaque which you can give to the relatives of the deceased.

A guestbook is a necessity if the family of the deceased is holding a wake. Visitors can sign their name on the book so relatives can later go through the list after the burial. You can offer to provide a customized guestbook that guests can use to leave their mark of their presence at the memorial service.

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.
