funeral guest book

So, they say there is a first time for everything. In April, I had a first: a funeral guest book.

About a month ago Chris’ grandmother passed away. I made a special guest book for the family to use at the viewing and funeral service.

Grandma’s favorite color was pink so I used a pink silk for the cover. The endsheets were handmade paper with pink flower petals pressed in.

The first few pages were lined for guests to sign their names at the viewing and funeral service.

The next section was reserved for the family to write their memories of Grandma. We took turns writing in it when we were just hanging around together – lunchtime, late night chats, etc.

The last few pages were for recording tributes made. Flowers, meals, cards, etc for the family. Everyone showed so much love to Chris’ family.

While we miss Grandma, we know she is in a better place now with people she loves.
