I know what you mean, however it is very common in his business to hold

Then he takes a non-refundable deposit or full payment at the time of
booking. If you try to implement a secure way of doing what he wants
you're entering a world of pain. IMHO It's just not worth it.
But it's yours and his funerals, so it's up to you. The most secure way
to do it will be to do it all under SSL, but you then need to make sure
that wherever you're storing them is also secure, both physically and
virtually. Pain... a whole world of it.

I have a paypal account setup and am going to upgrade to the virtual

Is it possible to securely send these details via the internet or
should I suggest he just gets them to phone them through?
You need to tell your client he's an idiot. Credit card details are
hot potatos - don't hold on to them any longer than necessary or
you're likely to get very badly burnt!
