Gary: They're more commonly called funeral cards and they're Artifacts > Privately held.
You'll often find fields on SourceWriter templates that don't apply--or you don't know the answer for some reason. Just skip them. Watch the Output Preview pane on the right side of your screen and make sure that what you've entered is forming a citation that you or someone else can follow later in order to get to the source and you'll be fine. In order to keep your Master Source List under control, in this specific case I'd just create one source for Funeral Cards (or Prayer Cards) and list the owner--you or your mother. Then use that Master Source repeatedly via the Source Clipboard and add details there from each of the cards. Otherwise you'd have to create a separate Master Source for every one of the cards. Love your tagline.

Hi everyone, New user here, and I'm trying to get my documentation in order and enter sources entered into Legacy. I have been accumulating stuff for about 2 years now, and I've finally started getting serious about entering sources and documenting what I've found. I recently found about 20 of what my family has always called "prayer cards" in a box at my Mom's house this week. These are the cards given out at funerals that usually contain the date of birth, date of death and some other information. Some of these contain information I hadn't been able to obtain by other vital records searches yet. I was going to enter them into Legacy as sources - can someone suggest a source writer template to use? I tried searching, but the closest thing that came up was "calling cards" or "mass cards" which fell under Artifacts > Privately Held. This template asked for a lot of stuff that was n/a, so I thought I'd see if anyone had a better suggestion before I moved forward with that one.
