❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Sympathy Card Messages

Q: How long should a sympathy card message be?
A: Sympathy card messages don’t need to be long. Even a few heartfelt words, such as “With deepest sympathy” or “Thinking of you,” can bring comfort. Using short sympathy card messages is perfectly acceptable.

Q: What should I avoid writing in a sympathy card?
A: Avoid overly casual phrases, jokes, or comments like “They’re in a better place” unless you’re sure it matches the family’s beliefs. Keep your words compassionate and respectful.

Q: Can I include the deceased’s name in the message?
A: Yes, including the name of the deceased often makes the message feel more personal and meaningful. Example: “We will always remember John’s kindness.”

Q: Is it okay to add a religious or spiritual message?
A: Absolutely, as long as you know the family shares those beliefs. If you’re unsure, it’s best to choose a non-religious message of comfort. Use religious or spiritual sympathy card messages if appropriate.

Q: Can groups or businesses send sympathy card messages?
A: Yes. Groups, companies, or organizations often sign messages collectively, such as “With deepest sympathy from all of us at [Company Name].”

Q: Do you offer help if I’m not sure what to write?
A: Yes, Ward’s Florist can guide you with meaningful sympathy card message ideas for funeral flowers. When ordering, you can ask us to recommend wording based on your relationship to the deceased and the family.

Q: Can I send flowers without a card message?
A: While you can, we recommend including even a short message. A card gives your floral tribute a personal touch and lets the family know who the flowers are from. Using a thoughtful funeral flower card wording enhances the impact of your gift.
