The Facts Of Funeral Service Cards

If you need to send a note of sympathy to a bereaved family, it is good to know that you can do this in a number of ways. Funeral cards can be given with flowers or by themselves. In this digital age, it is not uncommon to send a letter of sympathy via email.

You may be able to find nice notes at a neighborhood bookshop. It is also a good gesture to write a message yourself. If you are handwriting is not clear, you should remember that there are store bought notes with pre-printed messages that you can just sign and mail.

It is common practice in many countries to send a letter of sympathy to the bereaved family when someone dies. You can offer a written message whether you go to the memorial service or not. It is also alright to mail the note before or right after the dead is buried.

In response to your note of sympathy, the family of the deceased is also expected to send thank you notes to those who were at the service and to people who send letters of sympathy. A family member closest to the dead person usually writes and sends them. Expect to receive one in the mail a week or two after the burial.

Sending a bundle of flowers with a note is also common practice. Try to send a bouquet during the wake, before the actual burial. You can have a flower delivery service do this for you. Just make sure that the blossoms come with a personal sympathy note from you.

Ready-made funeral cards can be found at bookstores and online. Read the content first before buying one to make sure that the message is in line with what you want to say. You can certainly add a short handwritten note in it to make it more personal.
