Sympathy Card Protocol Do Family Members Give Each Other Sympathy Cards?

Do family members give each other sympathy cards? - sympathy card protocol

My mother wonders whether it is appropriate, a condolence card to send to the family. At first glance, I believe, members of the survivors need all the support they can get, if a map is to be the right way. Protocols should be after?

Certainly not the members of the family, let alone anyone else - What you need to do is write a personal message on plain paper (no date).

Note: I would remind "readers that the rules of etiquette are just the ... regulation.

Not if they live near each other and are in regular contact.

Cards of sympathy are appropriate when several family members - such as second cousins - living far have not been in regular contact with the families of the deceased, and can not attend the funeral, but they had enough contact between the desire , expressing their sympathy and condolences. Under these circumstances, flowers or donations to charity, according to the wishes of next of kin, also suitable.

Otherwise, these cards are well suited. I do not know, for example, send a condolence card to the daughter of my cousin, my mother's sister, because I move in regular contact with her in the city and to his mother - my aunt's Clock --- Funeral when the time comes. I also want a charitable donation, but I want to tell the love of my cousin that I am too. My presence after death and the funeral will be better than a card of sympathy, would be superfluous.

When my mother died, her sisters, aunts cards sent to me and my brothers. I am sure he has received letters from his friends, and so is his sister, and passed to a loss. Do not think you can go wrong sending a card to the family of the deceased were closer than you.
