In what way does a prayer card serve attendees at a funeral?

  1. As a ticket for entry

  2. As a cherished memory of the deceased

  3. As a reminder of the service schedule

  4. As an announcement of upcoming services

The correct answer is: As a cherished memory of the deceased

A prayer card serves attendees at a funeral as a cherished memory of the deceased by providing an emotionally significant keepsake that honors the individual who has passed away. Typically, these cards include the person's name, dates of birth and death, and often feature a prayer, a poem, or a meaningful sentiment alongside an image or artwork. This allows attendees to have something tangible that they can hold onto, reflecting on the life and legacy of the deceased. Unlike a ticket for entry, which is functional and temporary, or a service schedule reminder that focuses on logistics, the prayer card appeals to the emotional and sentimental aspects of the grieving process. It helps individuals remember and celebrate the life of their loved one, ultimately serving as a personal token that they may wish to keep. The cards may not inform attendees about upcoming services either, as their primary purpose is to provide solace and remembrance rather than logistical information.
