Funeral cards are also known as "Mass Cards" or "Memorial Cards." As
for sourcing it, each to his own, but here is what I did:
1. Go to Add a New Master Source (View >> Master Lists >> Source), and
add "Memorial Card." (Note: Add your preference, not necessarily mine.)
2. The "Edit Master Source Definition" comes up. I added "Funeral Card"
to the Type.
(Now I am making this up for simplicity. Let's say Uncle Joe passed and
"Dummy Funeral Home" handled the arrangements.)
3. For Type, select Funeral Card
4. For Source List Name, enter "Dummy Funeral Home and Crematorium."
5. For Author, enter the name of the person the family used at the
funeral home. William Williams, for example
6. For title, I try to incorporate the ancestor's name with the type, so
I know what it is when I read it. Something like "John Anderson's
Funeral Services"
7. For Publications Facts, I usually try to enter the date the funeral
plans were made, name of funeral home, and also name of place where the
funeral services were held (This might not be the funeral home, it may
be a church.), the publisher of information is the funeral home, and the
year this was published.
8. Scan the card, and include it under Pictures. IF there are any
pictures of the service, consider including them.
I hope this helps.

I know I should know this, but I don't. What do you call those things
they hand out at funeral services that give the person's name, when
they were born and died, when the services were and where they are
buried? My biggest question is, how do you source them? Great list, I
appreciate all the posts and help y'all offer.
