Bereavement Cards Wording for Bereavement Thank You Cards


When someone close to you passes away or loses someone in their own families that can be a difficult time. Writing Sympathy Bereavement Cards to the family can be a wonderful way of showing that you are supporting them during this difficult period. However, most of us feel uncomfortable writing words of sympathy or bereavement verses. We just don't know what to say at this time that will help ease the suffering of the recipient. To help you in this challenging task, we have included some Bereavement Cards Wording guidelines below.

 In Memory of _________

May 11, 1932 - April 14, 2006

He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man. - Antoine de Saint Éxupéry

Behind some cloud that near us hangs

Shines on a distant field

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sympathy Wording

Like any type of writing, breaking the task down into steps can make it easier to understand and to do. For example, you should first begin with a warm salutation that is appropriate for how well you know the deceased and/or the family. For example, if you knew them well, you would use first names. If you had a more distant relationship then it would be appropriate to use titles of respect, such as Mr. or Mrs. Remember if you are sending the sympathy cards to a woman and you do not know her marital status, you should always use Ms. instead.

In the body of the message, you want to show that you share their grief over the loss of this person. Never try to share your own personal experiences of loss or act like you are feeling an equal amount of grief in your condolence cards. Even though you may feel this information would be helpful to them at this time, most people who have lost a loved one would find these words upsetting and not soothing. Instead, consider sharing your own fond memory of the person if possible. If you did not know the person well, you might want to say something like "Going through this type of loss must be very difficult for your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my heart and my prayers."

Writing the Sympathy Thank You Cards

If you're the one who has lost a loved one, you should be prepared for the task of replying to all of those people who showed their compassion and love for your family at this difficult time. That means you need to send thank you cards sympathy. When you're writing these messages, remember you can be brief. Your Bereavement Cards Wording does not need to be excessively long. All you need to do is thank them for their specific act of kindness, such as sending flowers or babysitting the children during the showing. You can then explain how much their kindness meant to you and your family. You could also mention how much it would have meant to the deceased to know so many people cared about him or her.

You can choose to the sign the card either from yourself or from your family. That choice of bereavement cards wording is up to you. Do remember to get the cards in the mail as soon as possible after the funeral.
