Basic Details You Should Know When Sending Funeral 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 can get notes at your local stores or you can pen your own. A simple letter becomes more special when it is handwritten. If your handwriting is illegible, consider buying a commercially printed version. You just need to sign it and mail it right away to get to the bereaved family at an appropriate time.

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.

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.

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.
