Bereavement Thank You Note for Funeral Assistance
Dear _______________,
You are such a gracious friend. Thank you for helping me organize my husband’s funeral service. There were so many little details that needed to be attended to, and several big decisions that needed to be made. I was feeling completely overwhelmed. I just wanted to find a large rock, curl up and hide. The dark days after my beloved’s unexpected passing I could hardly think straight. When you stepped in to guide me through the process I felt so thankful and relieved. There are not enough words to fully express my sincere gratitude. Thank you so much.
With great love and appreciation,
