My Aunt died and she will not have that many flowers at her funeral. I feel bad because I cannot afford the $50 - 150 that flowers cost from FTD florists. I was wondering if I could carry them in a bag and place them in the office when you first walk in. That way the funeral home would place them in the room where my aunt is.
I am embarassed at the thought, however I cannot afford to send flowers. Am I better off going empty handed?
Also to add, My aunt lives in a very low populated area and I dont think she will have many flowers. I would love to see a few sent flowers around her, especially for my cousin%26#039;s sake.
Can you carry flowers into a funeral home?
you can place them in a vase, and yes take them in with you, or else hand them to the funeral personnel,, you also could take them by ahead of time, then they could place them
Reply:i hope you brought the flowers..... your aunt would have loved to see you walking in with flowes i%26#039;m a florist and i always tell my customers you buy the flowers to honor the person not to impress the family Report It
Reply:I%26#039;m so sorry to hear about your aunt. Well you could find a nice basket or container, pick some nice flowers, and put them in it. You could find a nice ribbon and find a way to attach a nice card to it. Or you could make a framed collage of some pictures of her. They did something like that at my cousin%26#039;s funeral a couple years ago. Well take care.
Reply:My condolences to u n ur family. I lost an aunt just recently too. Yes, u can take flowers in urself n put them where u want them or ask the staff to do it for u. I hv done this n hv seen other do it too. Don%26#039;t b embarrassed, no one knows its cuz u can%26#039;t afford it, they will think u picked them up from a florist u prefer.
Reply:galbee Your story? Very interesting......

Reply:Of course you can. There are no hard and fast rules about things like that. And if there ARE such rules, thumb your nose at them and take them anyway. If anyone objects or complains tell them they can kiss you rosy butt on main street.
Reply:If you can, take them early. Give them to one of the personnel. When my son died, the funeral director said someone had brought out a plant earlier. So it is perfectly fine to take them yourself.
I%26#039;m sorry to hear about your aunt.
Reply:Sure, why not.
Reply:Yes-it really is the thought that counts. Just don%26#039;t hand them to the mourners-find the funeral director and ask him/her to find a suitable place for them.
I%26#039;m sorry for your loss!
Reply:yes you can bring flowers it is not uncommon
Reply:Call the funeral home and just explain to them the situation. I%26#039;m sure it%26#039;ll be fine, just then tell them that you%26#039;ll carry the flowers to them ASAP. Funeral homes understand alot of this stuff, so.
Reply:sure why not, it%26#039;s better than nothing, right?

Babies funeral question about flowers?
my cousin just had a still born really hard tym she is only 18 so its hard to deal wit arrangin a funeral
ive told her ill help out n get the flowers for the funeral n get afew single loose roses or sumthin too just wanted to kno wat flowers r best for a babies funeral if u could tell me that would be great
Babies funeral question about flowers?
Talk to a local florist. They can suggest things to you.
Personally, on funeral arrangements or flowers for a child, I usually suggest a mixture of white, peach and light pink tea roses or some call them baby roses. That%26#039;s if it%26#039;s within spending range. Carnations add a nice touch, and are less expensive (almost 2-3 dollars cheaper per carnation stem compared to a single rose). You can also get miniatures in those. Usually, with a child%26#039;s funeral, we use the mini flowers.
I am soo deeply sorry for the loss.
Reply:sorry for the loss. I only know that Carnations are considered a funeral flower. Hope that helped a little bit.
Reply:I would suggest roses. They%26#039;re pretty traditional and come in a number of colors. I would suggest white or yellow for a baby boy and pink or lavender for a baby girl.
Reply:why is this is singles and dating?
Reply:If you can afford it, white roses and babies breath can signify returning the pure love of a child to God. Pink roses white carnations and babies breath can make a nice spray arrangement on the casket for a baby girl and for a boy something similar in blue. Some people like a stuffed animal in the arrangement and the parents are given this as a keepsake. A good florist in your town should be able to help you. I am so sorry for your loss.

White flowers are the sign of purity. And, a newborn is the epitomy of that. Otherwise, ask the mother what flowers she would have in mind for her baby. This is so heartbreaking - and you are a wonderful support in your cousin%26#039;s life. What a wonderful thing you are doing! Have a healthy and happy leap year!

Funeral etiquette - flowers, gift etc, what to do?
My best friend%26#039;s, daughters%26#039; baby has passed away after 3 months of life. I%26#039;ve never been to a funeral before (amazing but true) and am not sure what to do. Should I take flowers (wreath, boquet or what) or is it better to give a gift to the baby%26#039;s mother instead. If so what kind of gift is appropriate. The baby was a little boy.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Funeral etiquette - flowers, gift etc, what to do?
You could send flowers to the funeral parlor for the wake. In an obituary, it will say if they would like flowers or some people want donations made in the deceased%26#039;s name. (like to a children%26#039;s hospital where your friends granddaughter was seen.) I would ask your friend what would be good to bring, if anything. You don%26#039;t want to make her more upset. A good bet is sending a sympathy card in advance. I%26#039;m sorry for your friend%26#039;s loss, his/her daughter%26#039;s baby will be in my prayers tonight.
Reply:I agree with musicmen. A friend of mine gave me a single white rose at my mother%26#039;s funeral (sympathy) and a single pink rose at my dad%26#039;s funeral (to show that life still goes on). Please give your friend my sincere condolences. As for what flower(s) would be appropriate for this situation, please consult a florist.
Take care.
Reply:Wow, very sorry to hear that. I would see if they have an account set up for the family. Chances are since the baby was so young, they didnt%26#039; have any insurance for him or her and funeral arrangements are not cheap. One less thing for your friends to worry about.
Flowers are beautiful, but they have to move them from the funeral home and they don%26#039;t last long.
Reply:Usually people have a flower basket or vase delivered to the funeral home handling the service...or you can make a donation in the childs name to a charity...for example Children%26#039;s Hospital. Also if the young mom is uninsured, you may want to give her some money in a sympathy card so that she can use it toward such a sad and unexpected expense. Most importantly...is to be there for your friend and her daughter
Reply:There are some good suggestions here, but please don%26#039;t forget (I%26#039;m assuming here) that the baby also has a father who will probably be just as devastated as the mother...
For myself, I would check with my friend as to what the protocol would be....flowers or a donation...she will be the one who knows how her grandchild%26#039;s parents are feeling.
I am so sorry for their loss...
Reply:Your local florist will advise you on what to send. I can%26#039;t think of any appropriate gift for the grieving mother. How terribly sad.
Reply:you could just bring flowers. bring one for the child to put on the casket. and one for the mother.
all your friend really needs is to know is that she has a good friend that will be there for her when she needs you.
Reply:Giving a donation to an appropriate charity is always appreciated. The charity usually lets the family know that you gave a gift if you can give them your friends name and address. A plant that can continue to grow is a wonderful memorial to a loved one (Hydrangeas or Azaleas are nice). It would be appropriate to give the gift to either your friend or her daughter since both are grieving. You can take it to the funeral or their house before or after.
Reply:just flowers.... and because its your best friend just make sure your there for her always and help her do anything
Reply:You can send flowers, however during a funeral their will be many people sending flowers. Give money in that persons honor as that money will help cover the cost of the funeral.
PS- Bring kleenex, you need it!
Reply:check and see with your best friend if you could send over food (be sure to verify any allergies, etc beforehand).
grieving families often have so much on their minds that they tend not to eat very well during this sad time.
you could even see if you could organize a group of people to provide dinner for the daughter %26amp; her family for a week or two.

Funeral etiquette - flowers etc.?
Sadly my grandma (on my dad%26#039;s side) passed away this week. The funeral is next Wednesday and tomorrow is the first opportunity I will have to go to the florist, so I%26#039;m not sure if they%26#039;ll arrive on time if sent by the florist. My dad was also a little unsure about where to have them sent to. Is it OK to take the wreath/flowers with me on the day - which would mean taking them to the church service first? I asked my dad and he said this was fine but wasn%26#039;t sure if it would be viewed as OK by others. Also, I want to write a poem but will not be reading it out at the service. Will it be acceptable to place this down with the flowers? Thanks.
Funeral etiquette - flowers etc.?
As it is a funeral of a member of your family, you can do as you wish. If you want to take the flowers with you, then you can. If you want to get them delivered to the church, or the Funeral Directors, you can. The poem is a lovely idea and of course it can go with the flowers. If the service is next Wednesday, then there is plenty of time for the florist to make up the bouquet/display you want and get it delivered to the funeral directors.
Hope all goes as well as it can.
Reply:You can have them delivered to the funneral home or location. They will have the flowers placed in the room of service. A florist will put a rush job on it if you tell them what the reason the flowers are for. Most flowers are delivered in 24 hours anyways.
Reply:The flowers should get there on time, send them to the funeral home where she is at the moment, they will take them there for you. The poem is a lovely idea, just tuck it inside of the flowers.
I left a poem with my dads flowers when he passed away, quite frankly, at the time, i didnt give a damn what anyone else thought, its what I wanted to do, so I did it.
God bless.

I lost my dad just over 2 years ago... If you want to take the flowers yourself then thats fine and a poem is an excellent idea. I wrote one for my dad. Dont worry about what other people think. Im sure it%26#039;ll be the last thing on there mind...

Reply:My grandma passed away last September.
Once you have decided on the flowers, you can get them delivered to the funeral directors, and they will then put them in the hearse that carries the coffin. The funeral cortege will then take them where necessary and will take them to where she will get burried.
You can also then place your poem on the coffin, once she is lowerd into the ground.
Sorry for your loss.
Reply:You will have plenty of time to order flowers and have them sent to the funeral home. Just give them the date and time and they will take care of the rest. As for the poem, it is a great idea. Sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmother.
Reply:Would your grandma like you to bring flowers?
Reply:It%26#039;s most appropriate to inter a poem with your grandma, actually. My father placed something very special to him in with my mother%26#039;s mother, and I did the same thing. Anything written may be read, and if it%26#039;s really between you and your grandmother it%26#039;s best to keep it private by giving it to her directly.
By the way, have you considered NOT going to a florist? Name your grandmother%26#039;s favorite charity and ask people do donate there as opposed to flowers. I%26#039;ve noticed it%26#039;s a growing trend with two benefits: it spreads good deeds and is much easier on grieving allergy sufferers.
Regardless, please accept my condolences. Your concern is touching and impressive.
Reply:Plenty of time to have flowers/wreath delivered from florist to where funeral service is being held. A poem is a great idea and the Florist will be happy to do what you wish with it. Only thing I%26#039;d say is to check with whoever is organising the funeral. Sometimes, (especially if it%26#039;s a cremation) the request may be for %26quot;family flowers only%26quot; which usually means one huge spray atop the coffin from all the family. There are exceptions, of course.
Reply:First, my condolences to you and your family. I realize that in different parts of the country, things are done differently but here--NC--we call the florist and tell them what we want, by want, it can be a specific flower or price. I, for instance, always want all white arrangements. The florist fixes and delivers them and most of them have someone who goes to the funeral homes each morning and check over the arrangements and replace any flowers that are looking frail. You can take them with you, but I would have them delivered. If you prefer to take them perhaps you could go a bit early and give them to the funeral director who will place them. I understand your not knowing what to do if this is the first funeral you%26#039;ve sent flowers to, but I have finally learned in life to let the professionals handle the details as they know exactly what to do. In this case the florist is being paid to do the flowers and they can advise you. If you don%26#039;t have a florist the funeral home can suggest several that provide good quality work and some funeral homes have an in house florist.

By the way, have you considered NOT going to a florist? Name your grandmother%26#039;s favorite charity and ask people do donate there as opposed to flowers. I%26#039;ve noticed it%26#039;s a growing trend with two benefits: it spreads good deeds and is much easier on grieving allergy sufferers.
Regardless, please accept my condolences. Your concern is touching and impressive.
Reply:Plenty of time to have flowers/wreath delivered from florist to where funeral service is being held. A poem is a great idea and the Florist will be happy to do what you wish with it. Only thing I%26#039;d say is to check with whoever is organising the funeral. Sometimes, (especially if it%26#039;s a cremation) the request may be for %26quot;family flowers only%26quot; which usually means one huge spray atop the coffin from all the family. There are exceptions, of course.
Reply:First, my condolences to you and your family. I realize that in different parts of the country, things are done differently but here--NC--we call the florist and tell them what we want, by want, it can be a specific flower or price. I, for instance, always want all white arrangements. The florist fixes and delivers them and most of them have someone who goes to the funeral homes each morning and check over the arrangements and replace any flowers that are looking frail. You can take them with you, but I would have them delivered. If you prefer to take them perhaps you could go a bit early and give them to the funeral director who will place them. I understand your not knowing what to do if this is the first funeral you%26#039;ve sent flowers to, but I have finally learned in life to let the professionals handle the details as they know exactly what to do. In this case the florist is being paid to do the flowers and they can advise you. If you don%26#039;t have a florist the funeral home can suggest several that provide good quality work and some funeral homes have an in house florist.

What to say in card attached with flowers for funeral of father of friend?
I want to send flowers to a funeral home for the funeral of my friend%26#039;s father (I will not be in attendance). None of my friend%26#039;s family knows me, so I didn%26#039;t know if I should put in parentheses after my name that I%26#039;m a friend of the son of the deceased.
What to say in card attached with flowers for funeral of father of friend?
Just something along the lines of %26quot;So sorry for your loss , John %26quot; (or whatever your name is) Your friend will know who you are that is all that matters. You will of course speak at greater length with your friend privately , but the card annotation need not be long.

Question about sending flowers post-funeral?
A friend of mine died recently, and I was unable to make it to the funeral (which I feel awful about). It was only yesterday, and I wanted to send her parents some flowers, but I don%26#039;t want to intrude during their time of grieving (also, I%26#039;ve never met them). How do I get the flowers and card to them?
Question about sending flowers post-funeral?
If you can%26#039;t afford to have them delivered by the florist, just get your bouquet together (with a heartfelt card or note) and leave it on their doorstep. Hopefully you can time it when they%26#039;re home or will be getting home.
So sorry for your loss.
Reply:if you have the address - you can have the florist to deliver them for you. Do a pot plant instead of a funeral spray - this will also cost you less but still be very nice.
Reply:I think it would still be a nice gesture. Drop them off or send them via FTD
