Planning A Funeral


Basics To Learn When Delivering Funeral Messages

If you need to show respect to the family of a friend who just died, you should pay a visit at the wake. You may also send a letter showing your sympathy if you cannot go to the memorial service. Funeral messages to the bereaved can be long and personal or short but compassionate.

You can send a sympathy card even if you attend the wake. Depending on how close you were to the person who just passed away or your relationship with the family of the deceased, your letter can be short or long. It can be simple with a few words that express sympathy or a bit longer.

It is wise to remember that your letter may be read out loud by a family member during the memorial service. Given that, it is ideal to offer a letter in moderate length that expresses your close relationship to the dead. Make sure your message shows a tone of grief and empathy to those left behind.

If you are sending a card that already has content, it is still a good idea to write something in your own words. Your note should express sorrow yet offer comfort. This can be difficult to achieve with just a few sentences. It can also be hard to begin a letter of sympathy.

A good tip is to start a note with a memorable event that you shared with the deceased. Do not be too concerned about saying the wrong things or making the letter too long. Just write what is on your mind and what you feel in your heart. Finish off your letter with an uplifting paragraph.

Be sure to proofread and edit your letter before sending it to the family of the departed. Funeral messages are usually written in cards, as personal letters, via email, or sent with flowers. Make certain that the blooms in your bouquet and the card are appropriate for memorial services.
