| |
The giving of funeral flowers is a tradition that allows us to express love, compassion, friendship and respect for the deceased. In addition, a gift of sympathy flowers is a gentle reminder of shared loss and a comfort to the bereaved. |
Whether or not you were close to the deceased, a funeral is a difficult and often awkward time. As difficult as it is to know what to say to comfort the family and friends left behind, it is sometimes equally difficult to know which funeral and sympathy flowers are appropriate, who is traditionally supposed to give what and where the flowers are supposed to be sent. You may decide to send sympathy flowers to the deceased's home instead of or in addition to sending funeral flowers. Whether or not you are able to attend the funeral yourself you may still send sympathy flowers to the bereaved's home. It is appropriate to send sympathy flowers, such as a traditional or hand-tied bouquet, basket arrangement or a vase of flowers, several weeks after the funeral to remind the family that you sympathise with and are thinking of them. Whatever you choose to do The Gift Basket Stop.com can help you get the flowers where ever they need to go. |
