Understanding ABC's Of Funeral 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 can get them at bookstores or you may also write your own. A handwritten note can be a special offering during a sad time like this. If you do not have legible handwriting, consider convenient alternatives such as by getting a card that contains a pre-printed condolence note that you can just sign.

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 most cases, the grieving family will also send you a note of thanks for attending the service or for sending a letter of sympathy. You can expect a message of thanks within the month of the burial. Typically, someone directly and closely related to the dead will send it.

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.

Pre-printed funeral cards can be found in many bookstores near your home. You can also find them online. Before you purchase one, read the message inside and make sure the content is along the lines of your thoughts. It is also common practice to add something in your own words.
