please feel free to move to the right page as wasn't sure where to post.

i am trying to find a book of condolence that has blank pages but also space for addresses and it needs to be in alphabetical order.

any ideas or suggestions as to where to find one would be a huge help - thanks

I think you are going to struggle to get something like that.

Have you thought of designing and printing the pages yourself exactly as you want them and then getting them professionally bound?

Or otherwise have a look for a personalised visitors book, there are quite a few on ebay and they could probably make it to your specification:

This company does personalised condolence books, really lovely but fairly expensive:

You may find if you want something specific that you'll have to have it custom made. Might be worth speaking to the department in your local council that deals with cemetaries/crematoria - they'll have a supplier(s) they use. Or a funeral director (although if they arrange it for you, be prepared to pay a little extra for their "services":)) HTH

No need for a specialist book. Go to your local good stationers and get a blank, nicely bound, book. You can get them with alphabet tabs, or you can buy the tabs separately (though honestly, I think this adds to general faff, and would just let people write one after the other)
Then, yourself, head each page : on a double, put "address" on the right "message" on the left.
Make a large font note to put by the book with your request.

An easier alternative, is to print up cards (easily done on the computer) "the family would like to know who has attended, please write your name, address, who you are representing, and comments / memories / messages on this card" - put them on seats, on a pile at the reception, pass them around.

You can then put the cards in plastic pockets in a folder. Not as "lovely" as a book, but saves queueing, elderly people standing to bend over a book, people feeling they have to write in a hurry, etc.
