What You Should Expect When Delivering 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 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.

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.
