The Etiquette of Acknowledgment in Planning A Funeral Service
A signed acknowledgement card is sufficient to say "Thank you" for flowers, mass cards, and personal services. Sympathy cards and visitors who pay respect to the family do not require a thank you note unless the family chooses to do so. If a more personal touch is desired, a few words can be written on the card with reference to flowers, cards or services rendered. We hope the following suggestions will prove helpful in handling the various expressions of sympathy the family received during bereavement.
