A common question with regard to memorial cards for funerals is how many cards can be sent for one person. While it is possible to send a large number of cards, if the person in question has multiple children or a spouse or some other person who is important to them, you’ll want to think carefully about the size of card you want to send.
When you send a card, don’t limit yourself to sending them to the funeral home. While this may be the first place that you think of sending the cards, it’s actually a good idea to keep the cards going to as many people as possible. It’s also helpful to have cards for family members and friends that are not necessarily a part of the funeral. This keeps the cards from becoming a burden on those who will receive them.
If you do not want to send cards to the funeral home, there are many other options for sending your cards. Some funeral homes offer these cards on their own web site or in boxes at the funeral. In some cases, these cards may be free with all service arrangements and some others, they may be available to pay for but might not be.
Another option is to ask the funeral home for the cards. The local funeral home may provide funeral cards for funerals on a case by case basis depending on the funeral home’s policy. Some funeral homes have a bulk rate that allows them to send a large number of cards.
If a family member who is no longer living is involved in the service, sending cards to them is a good option. They may also be able to help you determine which specific cards you should send as part of the service.
There are several things to consider when ordering funeral and memorial cards. First, you need to make sure that you’re ordering in advance and that you have the proper card supplies for the service. If you order cards after the service is over, the cards may not be ready when you need them and it may cost you more money.
You should be able to have cards printed and should have enough space to print the name of the deceased on the front of the card. You may also want to include a short quote or even a poem if the service is particularly emotional. After you’ve selected the type of card that will be appropriate for the occasion, it’s time to print. Check the card stock and the printers that will be working on the cards and make sure that the paper stocks are of the right quality.
As you can see, there are several options available to send funeral and memorial cards. Consider sending them to as many people as possible so that everyone involved is aware of the service.
