Losing someone is terrible for everyone. One of the things that makes it easier to cope and get through a loss is the support of friends, family and the people around you. If you’re one of those people looking to offer comfort a good way to do so is by expressing your sympathy for their loss.

You can do this in person, with a gift and card or even through the internet with something like an email or using social media. And something that can be better than a standard condolence message is a sympathy image.

A sympathy or condolence image is a picture that expresses your empathy and understanding for what the bereaved is going through. They often have fitting sympathy quotes or sayings that either offer your condolences or sums up the situation in a short line or two.

Below you’ll find a huge selection of our very own images of condolence. These pictures are all our own, created ourselves, and free to use on the likes of Facebook or Twitter. If you want to use them on your own website that’s fine, please credit us though.

We hope these sympathy images will help to offer your deepest condolences and bring some comfort to those suffering a horrible loss.
