This is a funeral or In Memorium card, given out to mourners.

This memorial is rather confusing, but I think I have it figured out. William and Alice Wilkinson had two children, Charles and Alice. Alice was married to Charles Batt and died at age 31. Charles Wilkinson died at age 22. The funeral home is Wilkinson and Carmen, so I suspect that this card is a sample of the funeral directors own family memorial to show people what can be done.
