Evolution of Funeral Register Books

Most funeral of memorial services have a guest book or register book for service attendees to sign. In the past, funeral register books were simply used to help the family remember and acknowledge who attended the funeral of their loved one. Often with large funerals, and with the stress of the event, it wasn't always possible for the immediate family to talk to everyone who attended or specifically remember everyone's name. Following the funeral, the family was able to use the book to go back and reference this list and then send acknowledgement cards.

While some mourners would hold onto these books after the thank you notes were sent, many discarded the books because they didn't see the importance in keeping them. After all, a list of signatures in a book is just that, a list.

Somewhere along the line funeral register books began to evolve. Space was included in the books to add pictures, for guests to leave comments and even share memories.

Today, funeral register books are no longer simply signatures in a book. Register books have become a unique and integral part of the celebration of a loved one's life. Register books have become special mementos that can now be really personalized in numerous ways. Families are holding onto these as funeral keepsakes and are passing them on to future generations as a way of keeping families histories, sharing memories and for family members to learn more about their relatives who have passed away.

With funeral stationery evolving and becoming more personalized, families are asking for more options so that they can create the most fitting tribute to their loved one who has passed. Client families are asking to include more pages in the funeral register books so that images, personal text and pages for guests to write comments and include memories. Some client families have also asked to be able to include things like: a summary of the deceased's interests and hobbies, what types of food they liked, where they went to school, where they worked, and what associations or clubs they belonged.
