Dear _______________,
You are always so thoughtful. Thank you for sending a beautiful sympathy card and large flower arrangement for my mother’s funeral. I greatly appreciate that you included an envelope filled with several photos of her when she was young. I had no idea that these even existed. I also appreciate that you labeled the back of each one with the names of the other people in the portrait. These are such precious gifts that will be treasured for generations to come. Thank you for everything.
With love and gratitude,

Thank You for Attending Wake and Funeral
Dear _______________,
Thank you so much for attending my aunt’s wake and funeral. It meant the world to us. I just found out from my sister that you cancelled your flight and rescheduled your anniversary trip to Europe so that you could be here with us. Your loving presence was so warm, comforting, understanding and supportive. It was also incredibly thoughtful of you to send such a beautiful floral arrangement to the church. My aunt loved colorful flowers and the sweet fragrance of spring. I greatly appreciate the love and prayers you’ve extended to me and my family during this very heartbreaking time.
With love and affection,

Thoughtful Sympathy Thank You Card Wording
Dear _______________,
Our family felt very touched to receive a lovely sympathy card and standing spray for my mother’s funeral mass and later for her burial site. At the end of my mom’s battle with cancer she was in so much pain. It makes me cry just to think about it. But it brings us comfort to know that she is now in Heaven and free of all pain and suffering. We rejoice in the knowledge that she is now with my father, her parents, siblings and all of her friends who departed before her. My grandmother was the best hostess ever and could really throw a party! So I know she organized a grand event for my mother’s arrival. Thank you so much for your love, thoughts and prayers. This has truly helped sustain us through this heart-wrenching time.
Sincerely,
(Your Name Here)
