How To Word A Christmas Card After A Death
13 Answers
My wife and I have received a Christmas card off a cousin every year since we married and we have no other correspondence off him at any other time of the year at all and we didn't keep in touch throughout the year.
Sadly my wife passed away in July. My question is how do I word a card to him to tell him she has passed away and that I don't want to receive any more cards from him or his family, they didn't come to her funeral.
Hope anyone can help I am finding it rather awkward on what to write in the card I send back to him.
Thank you in advance.

Dear ( name) Thank you for your card. I don't know if you are aware but (name) passed away in July of this year. I wish you all the best for 2019 but will not be sending out anymore Christmas cards.

If you aren't saying that they knew of her funeral and didn't attend (your post is not really clear) I would just put a note in to say that sadly you lost your wife or she passed away or what ever terminology you wish to use, in July of this year and you feel that you can no longer cope with such things as sending christmas cards; that you feel sure that they will understand. Just for interest Lord Mountbatten did the same after he lost his wife. Many years ago I did a very posh afternoon tour. We had time in Stratford and then a private tour of a local small staely home. The Mountbattens had been friends of the family (as had the Royal family been friends of the older generations of this family) and they showed us christmas cards including the last one from Lord Mountbatten.
