About this tool
Write respectful condolence messages in six languages, matched to your relationship and the family's faith tradition.
Condolence Message Generator writes a complete sympathy message from four choices: who you are writing to, which family member they lost, how close you are to them, and which closing their community would recognise. It covers English, Hinglish, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali and Tamil, and offers the customary closings used by Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist and Parsi families, plus a neutral option for when you do not know. Each draft comes in short, medium or letter length with its character and SMS part count.

A manager, a client and a close friend each get different support lines rather than one recycled sentence.
Om Shanti, Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, Waheguru ji and the rest appear exactly as families use them.
Short drafts are sized for SMS and WhatsApp; the letter length adds a specific offer of help.
Name the loss directly, say you are sorry, and offer one concrete thing you can do. Avoid explanations of why it happened and avoid comparing it to your own losses — acknowledgement and a specific offer of help are what most bereaved families remember.
The customary phrase is 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un' ('Verily we belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return'), often followed by a prayer that Allah grants the departed a place in Jannah and gives the family sabr (patience). Many families also prefer 'may Allah forgive them' over 'rest in peace'.
Yes — a message that arrives quickly is better than a perfect one that arrives late, and most families are handling too many calls to answer them all. Keep it short, do not expect a reply, and follow up with a visit or a call once the first few days have passed.
Skip 'everything happens for a reason', 'they are in a better place', 'be strong', and any question about the cause of death. Also avoid 'let me know if you need anything' on its own — name the specific help you can give instead, because grieving people rarely ask.
