Tips for Sending Memorial Flowers
Here are a few practical tips to ensure your memorial flower delivery goes smoothly and is received with appreciation:
- Timing: It's customary to send flowers as soon as you hear of the passing. If the funeral or memorial service has already taken place, it's still appropriate to send flowers to the family's home as a gesture of ongoing support.
- Location: Double-check the location for delivery. It's common to send flowers to the funeral home or the family's residence. If sending to a home, make sure someone will be there to receive them. Many florists, including Bloom Boom, offer same-day delivery for timely expressions of sympathy.
- Budget: Memorial flower arrangements can range in price, typically from $50 to $150 or more, depending on the size and type of flowers. Choose an arrangement that fits your budget without feeling pressured to overspend. A smaller, thoughtfully chosen bouquet can be just as meaningful as a large, elaborate display.
- Card Message: Keep your card message simple and heartfelt. Express your condolences and offer your support to the family. A few sincere words can go a long way in providing comfort.
Alternative Expressions of Sympathy
In addition to sending flowers, consider other ways to express your sympathy and support. Sending a handwritten card, making a donation to a charity in the deceased's name, or offering to help with practical tasks like meal preparation or childcare can all be meaningful gestures. Sometimes, the most valuable thing you can offer is your presence and a listening ear.
Choosing a Florist You Can Trust
When sending memorial flowers, it's important to choose a florist who understands the sensitivity of the occasion and can create an arrangement that reflects your sentiments with care and respect. Look for a florist with experience in creating sympathy arrangements and a reputation for reliable delivery and excellent customer service.
