Memorial cards are a small commemoration of a recently deceased person. They were particularly fashionable during Victorian England and well into the 20th century, passed out to funeral attendees, and sent to distant family and friends not able to attend the funeral.
They ranged from very simple designs to the more elaborately decorative and would often contain thoughtful quotes, bible verses, prayers and on occasion a photograph of the deceased.
The cards Marked with an * are held by the group, others are copies provided by friendsof the group.
