~ Funeral Etiquette ~ Q & A : ~
There has been a lot of new floral
arrangments lately, which of these do I choose?
Having a highly personalized sympathy tributes that depict an aspect of
a person's essence has become a big trend lately. If he was
a man who loved the outdoors, perhaps a tribute incorporating branches
and natural materials would be ideal. If she was an avid gardener,
a tribute with a collection of garden flowers may be a perfect choice.
If you prefer to send a design that is more a reflection of your style,
then communicate that. Communication is the key to ordering a sympathy
design that will be a true reflection of what you want to express.
Is it okay to
send flowers to the family's home, and how long after?
This is a great way to express your sympathy and has become a common trend.
Some people choose to send flowers to the home
immediately while others prefer to wait a week or longer. There are no
rules. In the weeks after the service, this gesture can be a very
comforting reminder during the grieving process that friends haven't forgotten.
Would it be alright to send flowers if the death notice
mentions a charitable donation?
Yes, flowers help say what is often difficult to express, they are always appropriate and in good taste. Flowers also play a functional role,
adding warmth to the service and providing the visible emotional support that the family needs during this time.
Can I
send a plant to a funeral home?
If I can, will it be sent to the family
afterwards?
Yes, it is appropriate to send a green or flowering plant. Some funeral
homes will deliver plants or flowers to the home if specified.
The funeral director will simply notify the family that they may take the
plants with them after the service. Check with your funeral home
to see what they will do.
Can I send flowers in a glass vase to a funeral home?
From an etiquette standpoint this is absolutely acceptable, however some funeral homes have rules about certain types of arrangements.
You should consult the funeral home before and see if it is alright with them.
Can I send cut
flowers wrapped in clear cello or boxed to a funeral home?
This is generally not accepted by funeral homes as they don't provide containers
to arrange in. However it is very much acceptable to
send to the appropriate family members at their *Home address.
How should we sign our names if we send
flowers as a group?
When groups go in together on flowers, the arrangements can be very special
and make a larger showing. There should be room on the
floral enclosure card for several names, but if there are more it is best to sign as a group, such as "The Anderson Family."
You should also include a contact name and address on your card so the family knows who to thank.
If I want to place a tribute in or on the casket, what should I
do?
This tradition is usually reserved for family members or special loved
ones. Ask the family first before ordering anything for the casket
such as a pillow or heart. Look throughout our site for special tributes
that would be acceptable to send.
What is appropriate to send for a cremation?
A tastefully designed floral tribute adds beauty to any type of memorial service. It is common for the family to have a piece
designed for display with the urn.
Are Fruit and or Fruit & Gourmet Baskets appropriate to send to
the Home or Funeral Home ?
Yes they are appropriate to send, especially after the service to the Families
home address. When sending to a Funeral Home you
should designate the Immediate Families as the Recipients so they can arrange to also take home with them or be forwarded on to
the home address.
