Condolence message: what to write, with examples

It is hard to know what to say when someone loses a person they love. Add their name, the name of the person who died and, if you like, a memory, and get a short, sincere message you can adjust and send.

Tips

Questions

What should I write in a condolence message?

Say you are sorry for their loss, mention the person by name, share a memory if you have one, and offer support.

Should it be formal or personal?

Use the personal tone for friends and family, and the formal tone for colleagues, clients or people you know less well.

Is it OK to send it by text or email?

Yes. A quick, kind message is always welcome. A card or letter can follow later.
