Sympathy Cards

There are many ways you can express condolences, and sympathy cards are certainly one of the most effective. Our beautiful bereavement cards come in a variety of different styles, but the thoughtful sentiment will be clear no matter which you choose. Using our personalisation tool, you can also express your condolences in your own words, which can mean a great deal when someone is grieving.

What can be depicted on a condolence card?

There is no set list of rules regarding what can be depicted on sympathy cards. While there are many common themes, such as florals, birds and angels, some prefer to choose a more personalised route. It is not uncommon for people to include photos of the deceased or select something which is reminiscent of their life.

It can be incredibly difficult when someone passes, but the best way to honour their memory is to celebrate their life. Consider their loved ones and how they are approaching the grieving process when sending any condolences cards.

Some families may appreciate a more traditional card, while others would prefer something light-hearted to remember the deceased by. You will know best when deciding which route to take.

What is a good message to write on sympathy cards?

Once you have selected your card, it is time to write your condolence message. Again, there are no set rules when writing condolence cards, but depending on your relationship with the deceased, a thoughtful note will be both personal and sensitive.

Offering comfort and your support without being intrusive is key. If you struggle to choose the right words, consider what message you hope to get across and what the recipient might need to hear.

Here are some examples of what you may want to touch on:

  • Send your sympathies and best wishes
  • Let them know you are thinking of them and are there to help and support
  • Share how you know the deceased if you aren't familiar with their family
  • Reminisce with a memory. Be it sweet, funny or heart-warming; it will surely be appreciated
  • Consider personalising the card with photos for something extra special.
