What to Write in Funeral Cards
You can buy a nice looking stationary or a card and high quality envelopes. You can easily get these at the nearest bookstore. You can write your thank you's in a very simple manner. Just thank your guests for their attendance, their prayers and how they made the last days of your loved one's life here on earth memorable. Remain true to yourself and speak from your heart. If you are writing someone close to you, you can tell them how much you appreciated their comfort at a time like this. You can also write general thank you's for the rest of the people who attended the funeral.
Take note that there may be other people that you need to send out funeral thank you cards to who may not be present at the funeral. These are the person who sent flowers, sent food to your house, sent money or those who simply send their notes of sympathy to you.
Write funeral thank you notes at the time that you fell no pressure at all. If you think that you are not capable of writing down thank you notes because you feel that you would be coming back to the feeling of grieve and bereavement, you can always delegate this task to other members of your family. You can also get someone to write down the thank you notes while you do the dictation.
Finally, you can get helpers or a friend to send the funeral thank you notes you'd written. Make sure that you label them well with complete and detailed contact information of the people that you would send them to.
