What to write in funeral invitations?
Such a delicate matter should be handled in-person or with a conversation. Often times, the slated wake and funeral will be posted in the local newspaper or a contact name/number will be listed. If this person wished their passing to be celebrated (ie. they know they’re moving on to heaven and peace with God) then you could address an invitation as you would any other celebration. Though it seems odd that someone might want their passing celebrated, think of them and how they’d want their friends and family to view their passing on. Use your better judgment and contact other important family members for further etiquette on the matter.
I didn’t know people sent funeral invitations. Usually the notice is so short, there isn’t time, so you just have to call everyone. Maybe you are doing a memorial service. Try this: Please join the family of John A. Smith in a memorial service to honor his life. Then you could do a short bio, kind of like people write for the obituary. Then, at the bottom, the date, time and place. Sorry for your loss.
