In the context of funeral services, what is a memorial card?

A memorial card serves as a meaningful keepsake that honors the deceased and provides information about their life. Typically, it includes the person's name, relevant dates such as birth and death, and often a brief biography or highlights of their life, along with a photograph. This card is distributed during memorial services or funerals, allowing attendees to remember the deceased and reflect on their life and legacy.

In contrast, an invitation to the funeral service would typically convey details such as the time and location of the service but would not include extensive information about the individual. A receipt for funeral services rendered documents financial transactions between the family and the funeral service provider but does not focus on the deceased's life or memorialization. Lastly, while pallbearers play a vital role in a funeral, they receive instructions or arrangements rather than specific cards, making a card given to them less relevant to the purpose of honoring the deceased.
