AT A FUNERAL DIRECTORS OFFICE...

Where can i find the wording for a funeral card asking for donations to a charity in lew of flowers.?
Peolpe are going to get flowers no matter what you say. It is like having a birthday party and asking no presents.


However, just put a note at the bottom that there is a memorial fund set up at xxx in xxx%26#039;s name in lew of flowers.


That simple.
Reply:I am not sure what a %26quot;funeral card%26quot; is, but the funeral home should be able to assist you.
Reply:In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to %26quot;name of charity%26quot;, in honor of %26quot;Name of the deceased%26quot;
Reply:As others have said, the funeral director will be able to assist you.


I have been to several funerals where there is wording on the card that says something like this:


%26quot;The family of Aunt Tillie request that, in lieu of flowers, a contribution be made to the ASPCA, Aunt Tillie%26#039;s favorite charity.%26quot;





This is also usually printed at the end of the obituary in the paper....


By the time folks come for calling hours or a wake, they have already sent flowers. So it is important to have it in the paper...





I%26#039;m sorry for your loss and hope that this helps...

Reply:This has happened so %26quot;Unexpectedly%26quot; we were caught right in the middle of a %26quot;Financial%26quot; crunch, and regret having to ask everyone, for some sort of %26quot;Contribution%26quot;, to help, with some of the %26quot;Financial-Burdens%26quot;, for this Heart-breaking, time.....Any Kind of contributions, will not go, unnoticed, or unappreciated.........(Then, end it, we just cant thank-you, enough)...
