Funeral Invitations

Funeral invitations were used during the 19^th and 20^th centuries. The cards were sent to notify family and friends when the funeral was to be held. These invitations were very important socially. A funeral invitation could actually be used like a ticket, to gain admittance to a funeral, especially if it were for someone important or well known.

The collection displayed below is from our own inventory of historic documents, as well as online sites like Ancestry.com and Find-A-Grave. If you have any of these in your possession and would like us to share them on this site, please contact us.
