Funeral Attendance Cards

Attendance cards are used to create a record of everyone who attended the funeral service. This information can be used to make sure you don't forget anyone when writing thank you cards to attendees. You can place your attendance cards near the entrance of the funeral venue or in another easily visible spot. Provide a pen so attendees can easily record their attendance. It is also useful to have a funeral post box or other similar item nearby so mourners can deposit their cards. This will help you gather them all after the service. Alternatively, you can place one attendance card on each seat at the venue, prompting attendees to pick one up and fill them in. To read more about attendance cards, please see our blog.

An attendance card should feature the name of the deceased, along with the date and venue of the funeral service. You might choose to add a photo of your loved one to your chosen stationery design. Below, there is usually a message politely asking attendees to fill in their details so the family will know of their presence at the service. Include details about where the card should be deposited once filled in. Then, add lines that you want the mourner to fill in (usually their name, address, and people they are representing).
