You could console the relatives of the deceased by saying:" Please accept my deepest condolences".

 

[curmudgeon]

You could condole the relatives of the deceased by saying:" Please accept my deepest condolences".

You mean console...condole is not a word

thanx for all of you .....appreciated ;-)

 

[Methuselah]

I believe condole is in fact a word and "Please accept my deepest condolences" would be correct.

Latin condolēre, to feel another's pain : Latin com-, com- + Latin dolēre, to grieve

 

[Anglika]

Another thing that is said is "I am sorry for your loss".

You might want to tell Merriam-Webster. They think it is (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/condole).

thanx for all of you .....appreciated ;-)

Is it correct to say, "Thanks to all of you" ?

Re- condole condole - Definitions from Dictionary.com

We can also say when a loved one passed away... " I will see you in heaven!" ;-)

 

[eslkorea]

a simple 'our condolences' would do...

Heh Heh...yes I stand corrected. What I should have said is that condole is not a word that I would use in everyday language. In fact, it is to me so rarely used in isolation that I would not consider it as a word. I cannot ever remember in my 55 years or so on this earth having used it or heard it in use. Condolence on the other hand is comfortable to my ears. I think (and I stand to be corrected again) that if you use condole as suggested then it would be a signal that, whilst you are speaking English it is from a non-native perspective.

However, as I said, I stand to be corrected.
