Condolence Poems That Comfort, Support, and Soothe

A gentle alternative when short condolence messages don’t feel enough.

✨ What is a Condolence Poem?

When someone you care about is grieving, it can be hard to express everything you want to say in just a few lines.

A personalised condolence poem offers a gentler, more heartfelt way to share your support — shaped from your memories and written with warmth and care.

It can become a keepsake — something the recipient may return to, or choose to include in a memorial, card, or order of service.

🌿 Why Choose a Condolence Poem?

A condolence poem offers a gentle way to say more — when a short message doesn’t feel quite enough.

  • Deeper comfort — a few thoughtful lines that can express care more fully than a brief message

  • Support for someone who’s grieving — especially when finding the right words feels difficult or overwhelming

  • Something truly personal — shaped from your memories, not a template or generic quote

  • Warmth in cards or messages — a heartfelt way to show you’re there, when it matters most

  • After a recent loss — when you want to say more than a short message can hold

  • Supporting a friend or family member — with words that express care, warmth, and sincerity

  • When words don’t come easily — and you need something gentle, thoughtful, and considered

  • Sending flowers or a card — with a personal poem that adds comfort and meaning
