Bereavement Card
Bereavement card etiquette?
This is regarding the cards "announcing" that a loved one has passed away. My father and his sister have not had relations the past 4 years due to misunderstanding with her boyfriend. My auntie passed away (rest in peace) and my father along with us, his children, did not get a formal card nor did they make a posting in the newspaper. We, on the other hand, send Bereavement Cards to the boyfriend and to my aunties children (from previous marriages) on the same day as her passing. Should my father, or at the very least his children, have received a notice?
Clearly they did not want any of us at the funeral, and we respected their wishes in their time of sorrow
ps. This question is not asking for pity, or an all about me question, but one out of curiousity about etiquette in such matters.
The sending of a card announcing the death is not something we do in Australia usually you find out from some one telephoning you and then we either attend the funeral and send a card to show your friendship in sorrow. ~~
