Funeral Thank You Notes Wording

Thank You Notes After Funeral

The prospect of writing funeral thank you notes and sending out thank you notes after the funeral at a time of loss is the last thing on your mind.

After Funeral Thank You Messages

Sending a thank you note after the funeral is a way of expressing your gratitude to family and friends who were a comfort to you at the funeral, to say thank you for the funeral flowers and for help and support given.

Don't feel that it is a must do. I know of people who have not sent out funeral thank you notes, myself included. However, I now regret not doing so. Thanking those for their sympathy and presence at the funeral may even bring comfort to you.

Below are thank you wording tips that I hope will help you when writing funeral thank you notes.

Make a list of all those who sent funeral flowers, made a donation, helped with babysitting, helped with the funeral arrangements, prepared food or helped with buffet arrangements or did something that extra special. You may like to include these details in your thank you note.

Don't feel pressured into sending a funeral thank you note to everyone.

If you don't feel up to it, don't do it. Enlist the help of a family member or friend who can help with the purchasing of the stationery and be responsible for the mailing. That leaves you to only think about the wording.

Write thank you wording that is simple.

Handwrite the funeral thank you notes if possible. Alternatively you can purchase pre-printed cards and write a line or two.

Attending Funeral Thank You Notes

It was very kind of you to attend John's funeral service. I know it must have been difficult for you to travel such a long way after just having had your operation.

However, you being present meant a lot to me and my family. You were one of John's dearest friends and I know he treasured your friendship.

Thank you and kindest regards.

Pallbearer Thank You Notes

Thank you for serving as a pallbearer for Jane's funeral. I am truly grateful to you and your family for your love and support at this difficult time.

With love,

Funeral Donation Thank You Notes

Thank you for attending Jim's funeral and also for your generous donation. Supporting the cancer association means so much to our family and it was Jim's wish that donations were to be made instead of flowers. As you know Jim always supported the charity and it would have meant a lot to him to know that so many contributions were made.

Sincerely,

Funeral Flowers Thank You Notes

Thank you for the beautiful flower arrangement you sent to my Father's funeral. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in sending his favourite daffodils.

Kind regards,

Reverend Thank You Notes

We were deeply touched by the funeral message you delivered for James. James was a fun loving boy and he will be sorely missed by family and friends. Thank you for honoring him and capturing his spirit with such heartfelt words.

With Warmest Regards,
