Basics You Should Notice When Sending Funeral Service Cards

If it is necessary for you to send a letter of sympathy for a grieving family, consider sending commercially sold funeral cards as a convenient option. You can offer the note with a flower bouquet or by itself. If you are remotely located in another country, it is also acceptable to send a message through 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.

The bereaved family on the other hand would usually send a note of thanks to those who attended the memorial service or sent a letter of sympathy. Typically someone in the family of the deceased will eventually send thank you messages after the burial. This can happen 1 to 4 weeks after the interment.

If you are sending your condolence message with flowers, make sure that it gets to the bereaved family before the actual burial. There are appropriate blossoms that are specifically for interments. You can choose from half a dozen types of species and have them delivered to the funeral home with a short note.

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.
