I’m speaking in regards to the cards given out at a viewing or funeral service. I have an envelope full of them and would like to remember to pray for all the souls. I have a few tucked behind my wall crucifix, but far too many to put there (plus it would look kind of odd). Wondering if anybody has any unique uses or traditions in relation to these cards.
 
You could put them in a recipe box (of course you would not use the recipe box for recipes) and keep them in your prayer corner and go through them to recall the names while your in prayer of intercession.
 
I use the cards as markers in my religious books. I’ve also compiled a list of the names & dates so I can pray for them on their specific day as well as generally.

I have a growing icon wall in my bedroom, as most memorial cards have a saint or at least a picture of the dearly departed soul. So they are all visible when praying.

I do the same thing with mine too, where I use them as markers in my prayer books and Bibles so that I can see them each time that I open up the books.
