ABC's Of Messages For Funeral

If you need to sympathize with the family of a dead friend or relative, it might be a good idea to visit the memorial service. If you cannot make it to the wake, consider sending a simple letter expressing sympathy. You have a few choices on how to send funeral messages.

It is also appropriate to send a letter of sympathy despite being able to be at the memorial service. What you say in your note will depend on your relationship to the dead or his loved ones. You can express sympathy in a long letter or through a short note. It can be simple and straightforward or be more expressive.

Take note that your letter may be read at the service by the family of the deceased. Considering this, it might be wise to write something that is not too lengthy. Make sure that it is also not too curt and short that your message will appear cold and unfeeling. Show that the deceased was someone special to you.

If you are sending a card that already has content, it is still a good idea to write something in your own words. Your note should express sorrow yet offer comfort. This can be difficult to achieve with just a few sentences. It can also be hard to begin a letter of sympathy.

You can begin a difficult letter by mentioning a memorable time you had with your dead friend or relative. Do not stress yourself about writing the wrong words or producing something too short or long. Concentrate on what you feel and what you would like to express. End the latter with an uplifting sentence.

Make sure you edit and proofread the draft before sending it to the family of the deceased. Funeral messages can be written in cards, as handwritten letters, via email, or with a bouquet of blossoms. Make sure that the presentation of your card or flowers are appropriate for the occasion.
