Funeral services differ depending upon the religious and personal beliefs of the family. Funeral services can be held at a church, temple, funeral home, or even the residence. Most people choose the funeral home, because of its centralized location. Whether the service is held at the funeral home or at church, enter quietly and be seated. The first few rows are usually reserved for family members, however, people should sit close behind them to give comfort and support. The ceremony is usually conducted by a member of the clergy, but others may offer thoughts, anecdotes or eulogies. At the conclusion of the service, you will want to leave promptly, and wait in your car if you plan to follow the procession to the cemetery. Remember to turn your headlights on so you can be identified as being a part of the procession. Also remember to turn you headlights off once you arrive at the cemetery.

My son died recently. All persons who sent a mass card I sent them a thank you and a prayer card. My aunt only sent a condolence card to me. Should I have sent her a thank you card and prayer card? I think she’s mad.
Im sorry about the loss of your son. But the answer to your question is, whether or not you feel like you wish to send your aunt any card is up to you. But it is usually custom for the family of the deceased to send out a thank you card regardless. It just shows your thankfullness to the friends and family of your son.
