If you’ve been asked to share a few words at a memorial service or even if you need to prepare a eulogy or an obituary, sympathy quotes can help you express your heart.
Sympathy Card Quotes
I like to use shorter quotes and verses for sympathy cards. Here are just a few of the beautiful Sympathy Card Quotes that can be used in cards or letters.
- “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” ~Thomas Campbell
- “While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.” ~John Taylor
- “Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence.” ~Vincent Van Gogh
There are many more quotes about death and famous sympathy quotes on Simple Sympathy, but you’ll find the ones that I like to use on cards here.
I also have another page of sympathy card messages that are not quotes that can be attributed to a certain person, but are wonderful sayings that you can use or you can read through them and write own message.
