condolence card
Bereavement greeting message
A condolence card is a greeting card sent to someone who has experienced a loss, typically the death of a loved one.
The card expresses sympathy and offers comfort during bereavement: We signed a condolence card for Janet after her mother passed.
Such cards often contain brief, heartfelt messages rather than lengthy notes.
