Memorial Books / Remembrance book

A Memorial book is something that you can keep as lasting tribue to your loved one. The details of your loved one will be placed in the front of the book along with a list of people that attended the funeral home to pay their last respects, a list of people that attended the funeral service, a list of floral tributes received and the newspaper notices. This is a wonderful way of keeping a lasting record of such an emotional day, when you may not be able to take it all in.

 Memorial Cards

Memorial card front  
A memorial card is very similar to the notice that goes in the newspaper with the funeral details, on the otherside is a verse, this can be changed to any verse of your choice. We send one memorial card out free of charge after the funeral has taken place. If any of your family or friends would like copies, we can order them for you accordingly.

 Pew Cards

File0006 Pew cards are a way of keeping a name and address record of everyone that attended the funeral, sometimes people find it difficult to acknowledge everyone on the day of the funeral and leaving pew cards either at the church or at the Crematorium, is a useful way of knowing who attended the funeral. Leaving Pew cards also enables you to get the address of the people who attended the funeral and this can be useful if you wish to send thank you cards to people who attended.
