Many mortuaries print and hand out cards containing some information about the deceased to those who attend a funeral. |
|
|
Funeral cards, which are made for nearly every Catholic funeral, can contain a wide variety of information. In addition to what is shown in the example, they may include a complete obituary or simply give the names of close relatives. |
|
|
Modern versions of the funeral card include formats like greeting cards or pamphlets, or memorial albums. The family of the deceased chooses the format. |
|
|
Morticians often keep a copy of the funeral card or announcement in their files, but more often they are located among family memorabilia. |
