What You Should Know When Delivering 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.

Offering a sympathy note is something usually expected in most cultures. They can be given whether you attend the memorial service or not. It becomes more of a necessity if you cannot be at the wake. If you are mailing the note, you can give it before or after the actual burial.

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.

You may also send a basket of flowers with a sympathy note during the wake. Make sure you chose appropriate blossoms that are traditionally given for interments. There are several species you can choose from. Consult with a flower delivery company and have them send it on time with a note from you.

You can get professionally made note-cards at a bookstore, from a craft store or on the internet. Before making a purchase, read the message inside to make sure it is appropriate. Most people add their own message with store bought funeral cards. You can do this too and make your message more personal and special.
