I collect sympathy card quotes to use when I make sympathy cards, but these quotes could also be used on memorial websites or a personalized memorial gift or simply added to a card. There are several website that you can use to create personalized photo gifts such as Shutterfly.

Sending a hand-written sympathy card seems like too small a gesture, but it can make a big difference to someone who is grieving. A beautiful card with an inspiring quote can be read again and again. It can be kept as a keepsake or displayed as a reminder of friends and family who care. Sympathy card quotes can add the perfect touch to a sympathy card, note or letter. You can even create a last-minute sympathy gift by framing a quote along-side a photo in a beautiful picture frame.

Religious Sympathy Card Quotes

If you know that your friend would be comforted by a religious sympathy card quote or a bible verse you could try one of these, otherwise it’s best to avoid religious messages since many bereaved people experience doubt and anger (a normal part of grief). So use your discretion about what your friend or family member would find helpful.

“May the love of God heal you as the burden in your heart abounds.”
~Unknown
“May you take comfort in knowing there is one more angel above us.”
~Unknown
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." ~Hebrews 13:5b
