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's name in lew of flowers.

That simple.
Reply:I am not sure what a "funeral card" is, but the funeral home should be able to assist you.
Reply:In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to "name of charity", in honor of "Name of the deceased"
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:

"The family of Aunt Tillie request that, in lieu of flowers, a contribution be made to the ASPCA, Aunt Tillie's favorite charity."



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'm sorry for your loss and hope that this helps...

Reply:Wow, nice sentiment. Why don't you simply write your own words? You could express yourself better than a commercially produced card. Hope this helps.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to _________________ in ________________ name.
Reply:This has happened so "Unexpectedly" we were caught right in the middle of a "Financial" crunch, and regret having to ask everyone, for some sort of "Contribution", to help, with some of the "Financial-Burdens", for this Heart-breaking, time.....Any Kind of contributions, will not go, unnoticed, or unappreciated.........(Then, end it, we just cant thank-you, enough)...
Reply:You can just add a little line at the bottom of the card. "The family of ______________ request that a donation be made to _____________ in lieu of flowers. Thank you."
