When a death occurs, it is appropriate to send a condolence message to the immediate family of the deceased. It shows attention and provides comfort in a very difficult time to overcome. Here are several examples to help you find the right tone.
Condolence messages allow one to express support for someone who has just lost a loved one. The recipient can be a family member, a friend, a colleague, or a relative of the deceased who you did not know. In this case, it is appropriate to specify your relationship with the deceased person ("colleague of...", "friend of...").
The choice of words is very important; some terms should be avoided, such as "death" or "deceased."
You should also adapt your speech to the circumstances of the death. The tone should be adjusted depending on whether the death is natural or accidental.
Lastly, don't hesitate to leave your contact information in case the recipient would like to respond to thank you.
Condolences can be sent via text message, through the memorial page that we offer, or accompanying flowers, for example. You can also choose to send a handwritten card (do not print your condolences) by mail.
You can express your condolences at any time: before, during, or after the funeral.
A card can be attached to the bouquet of flowers given during the funeral.
Suitable for sending, for example, to colleagues you are not very close to or to the deceased's family, whom you do not know personally.
Used more when the recipient is someone close to us: a friend, sister, brother, grandparent, etc.
In conclusion, do not hesitate to mention the deceased's personality traits or personal memories you had shared, which will bring comfort to the recipient.
