Hey folks,

Here is your chance to play Ann Landers.

My best friend passed away recently. He had no family to speak of, just a couple distant cousins. My family is sending a wreath. Will it be appropriate to include a card to the decedent?

I looked at some sympathy cards which are actually addressed to the survivors.

If he was your best friend, then any small token of affection the family will allow you to place with him in his coffin is acceptable.

That means if you want to write a personal note or something in a card, there should be no problem.

If you are asking to display a note along with the wreath for public consumption? IMO that would be a tacky display meant for their approval rather than honest sorrow at his passing.

A card is planned to be sent with the wreath to the mortuary but the card will be sealed and is not meant for the public to read.
