Sending funeral flowers is a meaningful way to show your sympathy and condolences. It’s important to send funeral flowers at the right time, to the right place, and in the right situations.
What’s the best time to send flowers for funeral?
Flowers can be ordered as soon as you hear of the death, or as soon as you know what funeral home the family has chosen. Include the service time in the delivery instructions so that the flowers arrive at the funeral home on time. If you prefer, you can send flowers later as well.
Where do you send funeral flowers?
It’s always important to check the death announcement (obituary) and the funeral invitation for information regarding funeral flowers. If you plan to send a large sympathy flower arrangement, consider sending it to the funeral home in order to enhance the services, especially when a group of people is sending one. For instance – coworkers, a group friends, family and so on. An arrangement smaller and more intimate, given by a close friend, may be more appreciated at their home, where it will remind them daily how much you care.
After Funeral
Some people choose to send flowers a week or so after the funeral when the initial chaos has passed.
Grief doesn’t go away after a funeral, and grieving friends will appreciate the fact that you continue to think about them a few weeks or a few months after the passing. You can even send flowers on the one-year anniversary of their death, or later.
