Funeral Memory Cards/Box for Church - Recommendations?

Hi, I am thinking of putting memory cards on the church pews for people to fill in - to then pop in a nice box at the back of the church? I was wondering if anyone had done this and would recommend where they got them from?
Thanks in advance x

Honestly - I wouldn’t do this at an actual funeral service. A better alternative (which we did when my parent died) is to have a book of memorials that people can add their own memories in at the wake afterwards.

Would second that - people are unlikely to fill them in during the service, might not have a pen , can’t immediately think of what to say, miss the box etc. but will have time at the wake. Having been a church warden I have seen many of these cards just left on pews at funerals much to the upset of the family and we always recommended a book at the wake.
