Funeral Gifts


In addition to sending flowers for funeral services, other types of funeral gifts can be considered.  You can choose to send such items as sympathy gift baskets filled with fruit, gourmet meats or health products; framed photos, plants or personalized items. Even contributing to a charity in the name of the deceased or the family is a wonderful gesture that benefits a cause.

There are several online merchants who provide appropriate gifts that pay tribute to the memory of the deceased and provide comfort to a family in grief. Many merchants also provide Last Minute Gifts including fast delivery of such items as fresh fruit, flowers, gourmet food, cakes, bouquets, plants, balloons and more. Keep in mind that gourmet food gift baskets are not just for adults.

FLOWERS


Traditional Funeral and Sympathy Flowers

According to Emily Post, with their beauty, color and scent, flowers serve as graceful tribute to the deceased. While roses, lilies, carnations and other traditional choices have never gone out of style, arrangements that are more personalized and dramatic are increasingly common. Here are some examples of what you could send:

  • Floral baskets and living plants: Virtually any type of plant is suitable and can be chosen to reflect the personality of the deceased. Flowers can be sent to the bereaved individual’s home or to the funeral home.

  • Floral wreaths, crosses and sprays: These more elaborate displays are often sent by a group. They are also a good choice for companies or associations that want to honor the deceased.

  • Casket arrangements: These are traditionally supplied by family members. Lid sprays, often of roses or calla lilies, cover the unopened section of the casket at an open-coffin funeral and the entire casket once it is closed.
