Thank you cards after a funeral?

I%26#039;m sending thank you cards for people who came to the funeral and those who sent flowers for my dad%26#039;s recent funeral.





Question is should I send a thank you card for people who sent me condolences cards too?





I%26#039;m a doctor in a small town so I got hundreds of cards and I don%26#039;t know if I have the time.





But they are my patients and I feel like I should send them a card.





I guess I%26#039;ll just have to take the time to do it, so I%26#039;m not sure why I%26#039;m even asking the question.





What do you think?

Thank you cards after a funeral?
If you can send them a bill, you can send them a card. You know the answer.....
Reply:how about get a page in the local newspaper and thank everyone at once, it would be easier than hundreds of letters, of course, I don%26#039;t know what the cost would be....
Reply:i think that would be nice.
Reply:Publish a thank you note in the local paper thanking all those who sent you cards and post one copy in your office; and send the thank you cards to those who went to the funeral and/or sent flowers.
Reply:Keep a list of all the people that sent their condolences to you. When they have an appointment with you, hold their hand and tell them, more or less, that you were overwhelmed with the condolences, and that you had rather thank them in person anyway. If some of your patients are very healthy, and you see them very rarely, then consider sending them a thank you card. Definitely, send cards to the ones who sent to you flowers and food.
Reply:Not sure, but I%26#039;m very sorry about your dad.
Reply:Have your secretary do it. The probably won%26#039;t expect much, just an acknowledgement.


But I too would probably send something..
Reply:could you perhaps put a notice of thanks in your surgery or somewhere public that would be seen by the people that sent cards ?


i think that would be easier for you and just as nice





and sorry to hear about your dad xxx
