WHAT TO WRITE ON FUNERAL THANK YOU CARDS: THE BEST APPRECIATION NOTES WORDINGS



Last Updated February 7, 2022
By Adeola Seun

CelebrationsDid you Know?

Understandably, a funeral is very overwhelming; however, it is also necessary to
appreciate those who lent significant support during such a particularly trying
time. This is doable by sending flowers, bringing food, or just sending a thank
you note. It may not be much, but sending thank you notes will go a long way in
letting people know how much you appreciate them for making time to attend the
funeral.

Writing a thank you note is also a good way to momentarily distract yourself
from your grief and the best part is, it is easy to get started. You can buy
thank you cards from funeral homes, gift shops, stationery stores or online
printing services. The most important thing is, wherever you get them, your
message of gratitude should reflect something sincere and personal.


WHAT TO SAY IN A FUNERAL THANK YOU CARD: THE PROPER ETIQUETTE FOR FUNERAL THANK
YOU NOTES

Before you start writing, there are social and artistic etiquettes to observe to
ensure your notes are effective and acceptable. Do not worry, they are easy to
implement ideas that will feel like second nature within three to five attempts.

 * Salutation: Dear [person’s name]. If you have a close relationship with the
   recipient, you could open with: “My dearest [person’s name].”
 * Expression of gratitude: Express gratitude on behalf of you and your family
   for his or her help or thoughtfulness. Brevity is encouraged, just be sure
   you are specific about the object of your gratitude, like flowers or food.
 * Personalization: The true act that separates a well-received thank you card
   to a discarded one is personalization. Whatever your motives might be, no one
   appreciates a generic card. Try and add a personal touch that reveals the
   intentionality of your action, such as acknowledging their relationship with
   the deceased.
 * Closing: You can infuse your personality or elements of your dynamic with the
   recipient into the closing. However, generally, a ‘yours truly or ‘love’ is
   fine. Then sign your name or add the family name if you are sending it on
   their behalf i.e. “With Much Love, the Smith Family.”

Now that you have all the background knowledge necessary in writing thank you
notes, here are some ideas to get you started.


THANK YOU NOTES AFTER FUNERAL TO FRIENDS

One of the groups of people you are likely to send funeral thank you notes to
are your friends. They are likely to be the ones by your side when you learned
about the loss and the ones helping you through this funeral. Several of them
may not care about a note of appreciation from you. However, it is still great
to overtly appreciate them.

Here are some ideas to use when sending out funeral thank you notes to your
friends.

 1.  There is not enough gratitude and appreciation for your prayers and support
     following the passing of [insert name]. It would have been a lot harder
     without friends like you and for that, we say thank you.
 2.  Your card was beautiful. Thank you for being there for me.
 3.  I truly appreciate your attendance at (name)’s funeral. It was so good of
     you to take the time to be with my family and I.
 4.  You are such a thoughtful friend. At the time when I needed it the most,
     you were there. I will always remember your kindness.
 5.  When in need, you were there to help and are indeed a great friend and
     neighbour. My family and I appreciate all that you did.
 6.  We feel lucky and blessed to have amazing friends like you in our lives as
     we navigate this period of loss. Thank you for being true.
 7.  Words are not enough to show our gratitude during this challenging time.
     All we can say is we are profoundly thankful for your friendship.
 8.  There comes a time in life that your friendship is your last lifeline. This
     was one of those times, and you showed up to the best of your ability.
     Thank you, my friend.
 9.  Your support and generous donation to (name) fund was a rare shining light
     in the darkness. Knowing your shared love for each other extends beyond
     death brought succour to our pain.
 10. Your presence at the funeral was greatly appreciated. We were touched by
     your words and gesture. May your well of kindness never run dry.


THE BEST FUNERAL THANK YOU WORDINGS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS

Among the group of people worth sending funeral thank you notes to are family
members. They share the pain and are often more hands-on during the funeral
process. Here are ten examples you can use or rework when writing your thank you
notes.



 1.  Our entire family is beholden to you for your magnanimity. The huge and
     beautiful flower arrangement you sent to the church for my (name’s) funeral
     service was incredibly thoughtful. Thank you for being such a great support
     system for all of us.
 2.  It is a tough time for all of us and the passing of (name) saddens us. Your
     presence helped to lighten our burden. It was nice to enjoy your company
     and hear your lovely memories.
 3.  Many promise to always be there but few do. You were there when we needed
     you. Thank you for that. I love you.
 4.  Your acts of kindness and helping hands for our family during (name’s)
     funeral service cannot go without acknowledgement. Knowing you handled
     these details brought much-needed respite to us.
 5.  Thank you for the wonderful flower arrangement after the loss of [name]. I
     know you are grieving too but know that he/she always thought of you not
     just as family, but one of his/her closest friends.
 6.  It is hard to put into words our appreciation for the thoughtfulness and
     sympathy you have expressed towards us during this difficult time. We say
     thank you from the deepest part of our hearts.
 7.  It meant so much to us having close members of our family present during
     the funeral of our late [name]. Your help with the buffet and pastries was
     a masterstroke in what it means to be family. Your kindness and sympathy
     during this difficult time are so much appreciated. With love…
 8.  Seeing you at my father’s memorial service brought unquantifiable comfort
     to us. The love and support you’ve shown us during this very difficult time
     will always be remembered. Thank you for your sympathy and kindness.
 9.  Sharing your memory of mom with us was a bright spark in a day filled with
     tears and gloom. Your words were such a comfort. Family members like you
     have helped us get through this difficult time.
 10. It was nice to see you at my mother’s funeral. I was grateful to hear your
     memories, and your support made a difference to my family and me.


FUNERAL THANK YOU NOTES FOR MONEY

Flowers are common, and so are donations. They could be made towards the funeral
or the departed’s favorite charity. Either way, appreciating the gesture is an
essential social etiquette, and here are a few ideas you can use.

 1.  We are incredibly grateful for your generous donation to the American Heart
     Association in (deceased’s) name. As you know, he suffered from (sickness)
     for years before his passing. I am certain he is smiling in deep
     appreciation from above.
 2.  Words cannot describe how thankful we are for your donation. The entire
     family much appreciates your thoughtfulness and generosity.
 3.  We are so appreciative of your generosity. Your donation in honour of
     [name] will go towards his grave marker and other funeral costs. Thank you
     so very much.
 4.  It was so kind of you to donate to the family in honour of (name). Allow us
     to express our gratitude by sending a donation to (name)’s favourite
     charity in your name. Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
 5.  Your donation in honour of (name)’s memory touched us deeply. It was a
     great act of thoughtfulness that I hope I someday get a chance to repay.
     May God bless you.
 6.  Supporting the cancer association means so much to our family, and it was
     [name’s] wish that they were to be made instead of flowers. As you know,
     he/she always supported the charity, and it would have meant a lot to
     him/her to see that you and others made so many contributions.
 7.  We much appreciate your very generous donation in (name’s) honour. Thank
     you so much for your kindness.
 8.  Our loss is not replaceable with money, but your donation has gone a long
     way in alleviating our burden. Thank you, and may God bless you.
 9.  Your donation helped me and my family make a funeral befitting of the
     beautiful life led by our mother. Please accept this note as my sincerest
     appreciation.
 10. There is a family that will smile an extra day because of your donation in
     honour of my father. You are one in a million, and I simply cannot thank
     you enough for your kindness.

It could be your colleagues or those of the departed, but there is a need to
show appreciation to colleagues who attend a funeral. Here are some lovely

    audience gave me and my family a lot of strength in this difficult time.

    will be in the company of our Lord.

    smile to us on a dark day. Truly, we are thankful. May God bless you.


YOU SHOULD WRITE THANK YOU NOTES WHEN YOU’RE IN A BETTER PLACE EMOTIONALLY



image source



Ideally, you should write and send out thank you notes after a funeral within
two or three weeks. It is because it gives you a chance to begin the process of
moving on and timely recognition of the actions of well-wishers.

However, pain and its effects do not live on a schedule. Two or three weeks
might be too early for you to go through what can be a tedious process. In that
case, you can wait until you are in a better place because it is never too late
to send your gratitude to others.

If it turns out it took a while, tack on phrases like ‘I am sorry it took me so
long…’ or ‘I apologize for the delay in sending this.’ At the end of the day,
whatever you send will be appreciated whenever you send it as long as it is
heartfelt and genuine.


PACE YOURSELF WHEN WRITING APPRECIATION THANK YOU MESSAGE AFTER FUNERAL

Losing a loved one is always devastating. For first-timers, that often means an
unfamiliarity with social customs after a funeral, such as writing a thank you
note. Understanding this, here are some tips to help you get started with
crafting what you would like to say.

 * It is okay to write in batches: With many people sending in their
   condolences, sending personalized appreciation can be a huge task. A helpful
   trick is to break the list into batches. That way, you can write efficiently
   over a couple of days without sacrificing quality.
 * Your note should be short but meaningful: A thank you note is not where you
   tell stories. A simple sentence or three is all you need to express your
   gratitude. If you have trouble streamlining your words, you can buy
   pre-printed message notes and add a sentence to personalize it.
 * Don’t be afraid to ask for help: There is no reason for you to write it all
   by yourself. Feel free to ask family members or close friends for help in
   writing the thank you notes. That way, you can get through the list quickly
   without minimal stress.
 * Your Signature can include other family members: One aspect of
   personalization is the signature. While you will typically add yours, signing
   it with ‘the family of …’ allows you to include the appreciation of other
   family members. However, if their gesture was solely for you, it is okay to
   sign just your name.
