Use words of sympathy that remind the bereaved that they are not alone in their feelings of sadness and loss. Note special qualities of the deceased. Acknowledge those characteristics that you cherished most about the person who has died.
We recommend that you be brief and direct, but also personal -- a reference to a particularly fine quality you admired in the deceased is always appreciated. Remember that your note should lift the spirit and should remind the recipient that he or she is in your thoughts, and avoid overly emotional or flowery language.
It is customary to send acknowledgements to anyone who has contributed in some way during the bereavement period. This includes: Individuals who sent flowers, donations, or personal notes. Those who participated in the service, such as clergy, musicians, and pallbearers.
From an individual: A personal message may be written on the acknowledgement. From an organization: Send an acknowledgement to the leader and write a message referring to other members. If the members' names are in the card, a signed acknowledgement (without a personal message) is sent to each name.
