After a loss, dozens of people show up with flowers, meals, and kindness. We help you thank each of them with a real handwritten card, in your handwriting, without asking more of you than you have to give.
The service is over and the acknowledgments are waiting. Etiquette gives you weeks. Grief doesn't follow a schedule.
Every card means putting the loss into words again, sixty more times. Wanting help with that is not weakness. It is human.
The people who showed up deserve to be thanked. Their kindness was real. Your gratitude is real. The hours of writing in between were never the point.
We built this page after a family came to us in the hardest week of their lives, needing 84 acknowledgment cards written. We learned to make this as light as it can possibly be. You tell us who was kind to you. We handle the rest, gently.
Every card is written with a real pen, in a font made from your own handwriting, on heavyweight cardstock, with a handwritten envelope. The people receiving it will know it came from you. Because it did.
About ten minutes, on paper or a phone. If it feels like too much right now, a son, daughter, or friend can provide theirs and send the cards on the family's behalf.
Add names and addresses, or upload the list from the funeral home's records. Our writing assistant can help you find words when the words won't come, for the flowers, the meals, the donations, the pallbearers.
Real pen, verified addresses, handwritten envelopes, stamped and sent. You can have them mailed directly, or delivered to you to send when you're ready.
These are not preprinted acknowledgments with a signature line. Every word is pen-written in your handwriting, so each card carries what a generic card cannot.
Sympathy acknowledgments are hard to write once, let alone sixty times. Our writing assistant offers gentle wording for every kind of kindness, and you approve every message before it's written.
Send five cards or a hundred and five. Start today or start next month. The cards will be ready when you are.
The whole list, handled. Names and addresses from the guest book or the funeral home's records, uploaded once. Every address is verified before a single card is written.
Different thanks for different kindnesses. Flowers, meals, donations in their memory, help with arrangements. Personalize each message, or let similar messages go to similar kindnesses.
Envelopes addressed by hand. The envelope is written in handwriting too, so the card arrives the way it should.
Mailed for you, or delivered to you. Some families want the cards sent. Some want to hold them first. Either way is right.
The acknowledgments will sit on the table either way. The only question is whether they sit there as a weight, or get carried for you.
In a week or two, the people who showed up for your family will open a card written in your hand, and know their kindness was received. And the stack on your table will be gone.
They're acknowledgment cards sent after a service to the people who sent flowers or donations, brought meals, helped with arrangements, or supported your family. They are usually brief, a few warm sentences, and are traditionally sent within a few weeks, though anyone who has grieved knows the timeline is yours.
Yes. A pen machine writes every card with a real ballpoint pen, in a custom font created from your handwriting sample. The ink, the pressure, and the strokes are real.
Yes. The built-in writing assistant offers respectful wording for every situation, thanks for flowers, for donations, for meals, for being a pallbearer. You can use it as written, edit it, or write your own. Nothing is sent without your approval.
Yes, and they often do. A family member or friend can create the handwriting font, gather the list, and send the cards on the family's behalf. It's one of the kindest jobs a helper can take on.
As many or as few as you need, with no minimum. Cards start at $6 each, fully written, addressed, stamped, and mailed, and the handwriting font costs nothing. Our full handwritten thank you card service works the same way for any occasion.
Once you approve the messages, cards are typically written and mailed within days. If you need more time before anything is sent, take it. Your list and your font will be waiting.
From $6 a card, written and mailed for you. Begin whenever you're ready.
