Losing someone dear can make the mind so confused with grief that it may not completely process the activities, or the people one may encounter at ceremonies. After the mourning period is over, many survivors feel the need to remember who was there to honor their loved one. This is one reason having a funeral memory book present is a beneficial idea.
It can sometimes be hard to recall each person one speaks to at such gatherings, even when not overcome with grief. Sometimes families have the desire to send an acknowledgement to those who shared their loss. This is why it has become standard practice to make a record of attendees at all memorial services.
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.
Some of the more detailed items are designed to encourage guests to leave more personal information. They may write a brief condolence sentiment or even briefly share a recollection of a special time with the honoree. Reading such entries can bring comfort to bereaved individuals with access to the journal.
After the emotions have settled down, the family members can go back through the entries and read the names of all who attended. Reading the words of comfort and the tales of special times left by others, can help survivors realize how loved their relative was in life. Cards sent in the mail or accompanying flowers may also be included.
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.
