We’ve been making funeral floral arrangements for over 40 years, in that time we have helped thousands of people write out sympathy cards to include for the loved one’s family and friends.

It is very common to feel a little awkward & unsure of what to write or say when trying to comfort someone who is grieving from a loss. Here’s some thing that we have found to be excellent:

• Acknowledge the situation & express your concern.
  Example: “I heard about [loved one’s name] and I’m sorry.” Or “I just wanted to say I was sorry about [loved one’s name].”
• Use the loved one’s name as this helps keep their memory alive.
• Be genuine in your communication. Don’t try to hide your feelings.
  Example: “I’m not really sure what to say, but I want you to know I care.” Remember, caring thoughts and hugs may make the person cry, but tears are a large part of the healing process.
• Offer your support, and be specific. Example: “I want to help you and your family; can I pick up your children from school this week?”
• Don’t assume you know how the bereaved person feels on any given day.
• Remember that a smile and “It’s good to see you” can make any person’s day a little brighter.
