What should be in the unveiling of the tombstone?

Answer 1

An invitation for the unveiling of a tombstone will first list the purpose of the invitation. Then the date, place, and time could be listed. This information could be followed by an invitation for the guests to meet at a central point afterward to share memories.

I found many samples that I was able to mimic in making up my own, using a quality paper and one of the standard Word background/border combos.

I am able to print 2 sided and did so, with the below on the reverse side. I would say almost everyone had it with them in the car and found it helpful.

I suggest:

Adding (copy paste) a map (or with city folk, public transit) directions.

BOTH for to the cemetery and maybe more importantly, to the plot.

These are normally available at the cemetery web site (or call their desk for specifics on getting around in the place). That website address also can be helpful.

Also directions to any place you may be inviting people to after the cemetery.

I believe asking for an RSVP is inappropriate - and in todays world with many people very far away, (or elderly and frail and really not able to get there) you may be sending many that are more of a social courtesy than anything. I personally even noted that sentiment in my own handwriting on some I sent.

Adding a cell number or two (especially) for those lost or running late also helps put people at ease.

This is a good time to print off a bunch of good font sized transliterations of the mourners Kaddish.

If you are unveiling a tombstone, you can send an invitation to family and friends. You will want to include the date, time, and location.
