About Sympathy Card Messages

A sympathy card gives someone a note they can keep and read in their own time. Start with their name, acknowledge the loss, add one sincere memory if you have one, and finish with a simple closing. The examples below include openings and sign-offs, with brackets for details you should replace.

What can I write in a sympathy card for a coworker?

“Dear [name], I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you have our support. With sympathy, [your name].”

Add a genuine memory only if you knew the person who died. A simple, sincere card is enough.

How to Use

  • Replace every bracketed detail before copying or exporting the card.
  • Use a religious message only when you know it fits the recipient’s beliefs.
  • If you did not know the person who died, say so gently rather than inventing a memory.
