If people bring food to a funeral luncheon, is a thank you required for every donor?

Question

Many people offered to bring food, none were asked for donations.

Answer 1

yeah specially if they weren't asked to but did

Answer 2

Yes,A simple Thank You costs you nothing.If it is not possible to thank each one then you should make a general announcement.

Answer 3

a hint for those who get in this..try to get a Friend to stay where the food is coming in to get all the name..much easier later when you are doing your notes..also, if you take food to a funeral,,only take it in a container that can be gotten rid of

Answer 4

A thank you note is always correct in such situations.

Answer 5

You really do need to send the thank you cards, get you other relatives to help maybe make it a time you get together and share good memories of your departed relative.

Answer 6

It is not required but would be a nice gesture.  They realize that you are grieving and are doing it out of concern and support of the family.  A lot of times you don't even know who brought food and who didn't and anyone who "expects" a thank you in your time of grief is not doing a good deed for the right reason.  I am sorry for your loss.

Answer 7

if you did it right.you thank them as they came in.as for doners a thank you note is in order.dont put it off. the longer you wait.the harder it gets.
