How do you go about writing a thankyou letter?

I have to write thankyou letters to people, thanking them for taking part, and messages of sympathy, and flowers, at my mums funeral.


What do I say, and how do I write them, as its not like a normal thankyou.





I would also like to thankyou all for all your words of comfort and prayers. I am honoured to know so many good friends.





Thankyou all so much, and God bless

How do you go about writing a thankyou letter?
First of all I'm sorry to hear about your mum, even though I didn't know her, and my thoughts are with you.





Here are some tips:





1) Thank the person for coming


2) Let them know how much it meant to have them there


3) Recall a brief memory of how they made an impact on your mum's life.





I think the most important thing is not to go overboard, they know you're going through a sad time in your life, and they will understand.





Like I said, my thoughts are with you.

Reply:The simplest way around this is to buy or make some cards with an apropriate pictur or something on the card, with the words thankyou in side, and then to make it personal, you should reiterate what you are thanking them for, then put your name at the bottom.
Reply:First, I am very sorry for your loss. Typically, the funeral home provide these for you. Ask the director. There are thank you cards out there for this circumstance as well....you may add an additional message it you like, but it is not necessary.
Reply:Just make it short and thank them for their support during your tought times.
Reply:Go to the stationery department of your favorite store and buy a package or two of Thank You cards....there will be several designed for sending after a funeral (they will say "Thank you for your kindness during this difficult time..." or something to that effect). The greeting card companies have made this a little easier with these packs of 10 or so cards all printed with "thank you" on the fronts of them.





Address each one to the person intended, and inside the card write a brief message of thanks....."Thank you for the lovely flowers you sent to Mother's funeral. I appreciate your kind thoughts." or "Thank you for your help with Mother's funeral. Your thought fullness was needed at this difficult time."





Make each message specific to the person and their action.





I, too have lost my mother. You have my sympathies.
Reply:Dave, I'm SO sorry about your Mum. When I heard, it really affected me deeply to know that you %26amp; Tam were hurting. It's good to see you on here again %26amp; I just wanted you know that I'm praying for you %26amp; your family during this difficult time. I don't know what you should say in your Thank You cards but whatever you say I'm sure people will know that you appreciate them doing whatever is was that they did to help you during this time. (((HUGS)))
Reply:just buy some thankyou cards and sign your name like any other card so u don't have to write anything.
Reply:Dear





Words cannot express how greatful I am to you for your support since the death of my Mother. Your actions have been of great comfort to me.





I think something like that is enough, people I think will be be suprised that you've taken the time to thank them so that will be fine.
Reply:Dear Dave,


You need to start the letter with:


Dear NAME,


I really like to thank you for coming to my moms funeral. I really appreiciate all that you did during her lifetime. I know that she is in a better place and will be watching over all of us.





Thank You,

Reply:Buy a stack of simple pre-packaged "Thank You" cards with envelopes.
