Proper Ettiquette For Thanking Pallbearers? | Yahoo Answers Thanks To Pallbearers
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom passing away.
My personal opinion is that a note of sincere thanks is all that is needed. I found this site with some suggestions. Here is a little of whats on the site:
"No longer are personal letters expected by relatives, friends and acquaintances in return for expressions of sympathy. In most cases a signed acknowledgment or thank you card is sufficient to say "thanks" for flowers, mass cards, charitable donations and personal services."
"Acknowledgments should be sent within two weeks following the funeral or memorial service. If a more personal touch is desired, then a few words can be written on the card with reference to the flowers sent, donation made or services rendered. These words can often make the recipient feel that your thanks are as personal as if they were expressed verbally."
They give an example of what to write in a card to a pallbearer too:
"PALLBEARERS: Include a message of thanks for their time and service rendered.
Dear Steve,
Thank you for your kindness in acting as a pallbearer for our father. We asked you because you were one of his closest friends."
Hope this helps.
