Press Acknowledgement

Following a bereavement, a press acknowledgement may be helpful, to thank people who helped you and your family through your sad time. Very few people in my opinion, expect a reply to a sympathy card, a wreath, hug or a gentle rub of a back.

You may wish to send a personal reply at a later date, so maybe an announcement in your local paper will help until you are ready to communicate.

It also acknowledges the invisible people who act without reward or attention, but who without them things would not have happened.

Here are some examples.
