When choosing to send a funeral thank you card you have two choices. If you are thanking a large group of people then it is common to send out a template design, often featuring a photo or the key dates of the one who has passed. If you wish to personally thank certain people you can still use a thank you card template and then add your personal message after printing on the front or back. Convey your sincere gratitude and mention their act or gift that personally touched you.
There is no strict cut off date or deadline but we recommend trying to get the thank you cards out within 2-3 weeks of the service.
Acknowledgment etiquette is a very individual thing however the following rules of thumb generally allly. Convey your sincere gratitude and mention their act or gift that personally touched you. Let them know that they made a difference and that you apricated the effort they went to.
No you do not need to send out funeral thank you cards but it is a nice way to acknowledge the actions of those who have helped and supported you.
Anyone who's support & love you would like to acknowledge. This could include those who helped organize the service, looked after children or pets, brought around meals or contributed financially. It could be everyone who attended the service, passed on messages of support or was simply there for you over the hard times.
