My Uncle died and i want to get him a some flowers for his funeral, what are considered appropriate and manly?

Well i didnt really know my uncle that well and he lives a about 5 hours away but i met him at UAB (Hospital in Alabama) when he was having a balloon operation. When i went to visit him he said i should go fishing with him at his house because he had catfish, bass, and cropie in his ponds. He really seemed to like me the moment he saw me. Reminded him of his little brother (my dad). He knew i loved being outdoors. Well, he died a few hours ago and i wanted to send or take a few (like 2-5) flowers to his funeral with a fishing jig tied on it, because its the only memory i really have of him, sounds stupid, but i think it would really mean alot to him if he was still here. (if it helps he was close to 80 years old.)





p.s. please respond fast

It doesn%26#039;t sound stupid.It%26#039;s a lovely thought and he would appreciate it,I%26#039;m sure.


Sunflowers are manly and so are daisy%26#039;s.Carnations would also be appropriate for a man.


Sorry for your loss but happy you got to know him and that the two of you became friends quickly.
Reply:pick some flowers yourself, there aren%26#039;t really any manly flowers I can think of, it doesn%26#039;t matter anyways just pick roses, marigolds, lilys, and some Japanese maple leaves, beautiful, and I am soooo sorry about your uncle, hold up, won%26#039;t you? :-)
Reply:Talk to a florist and perhaps provide them with a couple fishing lures and explain to them what you wuold like ,those folfs really understand and seem to always come up with a very nice and appropriate arrangement
Reply:we put sunflowers on my uncles grave, because it was his favorite flower. He had them all around his house
Reply:It%26#039;s a personal thang. If it makes you feel good do it. He%26#039;d get a smile from it I bet. With sympathy sincere. Wishing you happier days ahead.
Reply:Firstly my condolences, it is wonderful to take flowers to your uncle%26#039;s funeral, if you feel that is not manly, which trust me is manly. Organise a florist to send your flowers to the funeral/cemetery. Any flower is appropriate. My son took some ferns out of a garden to his Nana%26#039;s funeral, its the thought that counts.
