Abc's Of A Funeral Book Of Memory

By Sophia Nathan


When a person is filled with grief over the loss of a relative, they may not be fully aware of everything and everyone around them during the mourning period. Many people are likely to approach them to pay respects for the deceased and the family may wish to extend their thanks after a short time has passed. Having a funeral memory book compiled is one method used to deal with this issue.

Even under the best circumstances, it can be difficult to recall all guests who attend a function. Many families like to acknowledge those who showed their support during such a great loss. Keeping a record of who attended or sent condolences, and how they knew the honored individual is a good idea.

At most memorial services and receptions, a guest registry is set on a table near the entrance. People will provide their name as they arrive, providing a record of attendance. Some designs also have space for people to leave additional contact information and their relationship to the deceased.

A more detailed version of this product permits individuals to leave a bit more information. They are encouraged to write a brief note of condolence or to share a short, yet special remembrance of the honored one. These personal moments can bring great comfort to the survivors.

When they feel strong enough, family members can go through these entries and see who was present. Reading the notes and special stories can be comforting and reinforced that their loved one was important to others as well. Some people also like to add the sympathy cards received by mail and the those that were attached to flowers, to their register.

It is not uncommon for guests to place photographs and small memorabilia around the register. When these are included in the collection, the journal becomes a tale of memories. Many people find comfort and solace in having this product available at all funerary services.
