Sympathy Cards

Inspiration for Sympathy Cards
Following a bereavement, it can bring so much comfort to receive letters or cards with words of support, memories and reflections.
There are many ways to let someone who is grieving know they are in your thoughts. It doesn’t have to be a long letter, it can be a thoughtful card with a short, heartfelt message.
A Handwritten Letter or Homemade Card
A handwritten letter or homemade card, either drawn, painted or with pressed flowers, can be a simple but thoughtful way to let someone know you are thinking of them.


Traditional and Online Sympathy Cards
There is a wide selection of sympathy and condolence cards available, either shop bought or ordered online and delivered directly to the recipient. With online cards, if appropriate, you can add photos that capture special memories.
Poetry Booklets
Poems can provide comfort and express emotions that can sometimes be hard to put in to words. You can get some wonderful booklets of bereavement poems that have been carefully selected to offer support and hope at a time of grief.
