[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if these are still a thing, but some of my family have done these Mass cards. One of my cousins had no idea about these and we had to rush an order when her mom freaked out that we wouldn't have these to hand out.

I have to admit that I like them- and if you personalize the dates they can be a reminder to call someone on important anniversary dates.

And it may be because my family is Italian and Irish but our post-funeral receptions are more like a wake.  We stock up our bar so that we can offer more than what we usually keep on hand.

And I know this sounds morbid, but funerals are one of the few times our family gets together.  So we assign some of the kids to take photos in a quiet way.  It gives them something to do, and last time one of the girls appointed herself a reporter and she asked everyone for their favorite memory of the deceased.  We wrote down many of those stories as a gift to the widow and that was nice.[/quote]
