Condolences and thanks service

Cattolica Funeral Company of Rome offers a condolence and thanks service.

In this way we accompany friends in leaving a thought for the deceased or the family, showing them love and affection, in such an intense moment as mourning.

Let’s help family members thank all those who have shown closeness with condolence messages.

In both cases we offer a web service to speed up both services and make messages immediate.

How to offer condolences?

It is not easy to put into words the closeness to friends and relatives when they are facing bereavement, but it is a gesture as simple as it is welcome.

The most suitable means of sending condolence messages is the telegram, accompanied by a bouquet of flowers, although in recent years there has been a widespread tendency to write condolences to family members via instant messaging such as Whatsapp.

What to say to a person who has suffered a bereavement?

Suffering a loss involves great emotional stress and what you can do is console friends and relatives in a simple way. Presence and above all listening to the pain with rigorous respect and deep understanding is often enough.

Time helps to ease suffering, but in the meantime your kindness and availability will be the best actions, more important than many words.

How do you respond to condolences?

According to etiquette, it is advisable to respond to condolence messages within 15 days of the funeral. It is important to show gratitude to all the friends and relatives who have rallied around us and our pain.

We support the response through messages and telegrams, with phrases such as “We thank you for your closeness in this painful moment” or more formal “The family thanks you for your words of condolence”.
