With an online memorial you can upload a picture and a message of thanks to all of your friends and family. The link to your online memorial can be added to the funeral cards or programs. After the funeral when guests check the online memorial they will be thanked for attending the funeral and for their support, cards, gifts, etc...

It is also very simple to make customized thank you cards with a service like Picaboo

You can upload a photo and include a special message. These e-cards are quick and easy to send out and they are beautiful. I love that you can add music to your card (you can even upload a special song.)

I think Picaboo is the best service for this and they also offer customizable sympathy cards and photo books.

I also love the idea of making a photo book from the pictures of the memorial service and then sending it out to family members.
