Facts You Should Learn When Sending 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 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.

In most cultures, it is expected that grieving friends and relatives send letters of sympathy. They can be sent if you attend the memorial service or not. It is essential to do so if you cannot go to the deceased person's interment. It is acceptable to mail the note after or prior to the burial.

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.

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.
