Appropriate Card Messages
In the loss of a friend or loved one, sympathy flowers and messages can get confusing, time consuming, and can be quite stressful. At A Flower Pale Florist, we aim to serve you with our sympathy arrangements, but also assisting you with card messages to help you grieve the loss of your loved one or friend.
Generally, it’s best to keep your message of sympathy short and to the point. Below are some examples of simple card messages.
- Our thoughts and prayers are with you
- “Name of deceased” will remain in our hearts forever
- Our deepest sympathy
- With deepest sympathy
- With heartfelt condolences
- “Name of deceased” will always be in our hearts and memories
- Please accept my condolences
- I am sorry for your loss
If the deceased is a person that you knew very well, it is proper etiquette to convey how much that person meant to you and how much you will miss them (ex. Aunt Myrtle meant the world to me and I will miss her greatly)
If you did not know the deceased very well, keep the card short and simple (ex. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Steve Staples and Family)
Acknowledging the loss of the person who has died is acceptable etiquette (ex. Please accept my condolences on your loss).
Use your last name when signing the message (ex. My Deepest Sympathy, Carmen Collins). Even if the person you are sending the card to is a family member who knows you very well, it is still a good idea to sign your last name because there may be other friends or family members with the same first name as yours.
Please do not include phrases such as “Time will heal all wounds” or “It was his time to go.”
