About this experience

Condolence messages and obituaries

Words of farewell that remember someone and leave room for a quiet smile. Death brings profound change, yet some people want their personality to remain present in the way they are remembered. For them, remembrance need not be solemn alone; it can be honest, human and occasionally accompanied by a gentle smile, particularly when the person who died had a sense of humour and made it part of their life. A condolence message or obituary with carefully judged humour can express this. It does not minimise the loss, but honours the person as they were: with their individuality, their humanity and an outlook that could meet difficult moments with a twinkle in the eye. Such words can almost let the person speak once more and create a feeling of closeness through memory. Humorous wording in death notices and obituaries is now chosen more deliberately and personally. It reflects the fact that grief and a smile can coexist. For many families, this brings a brief moment of relief, a chance to breathe through the pain and confidence that the words are true to the person they love. We help you create a condolence message or obituary that remains sensitive while showing personality: words of farewell that move people, feel honest and remain in the memory.
