can anyone help me out with words to write on the card to go with my flowers for my boyfriends dads funeral. I did not know him that well (my boyfriend and I have been together for a year) I want something heart felt but that does not sound over the top as we were not close or anything.
apreciate any ideas
Funeral flower words?
"With sympathy to you and your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. xyour namex"
You could also add somewhere in there or replace the sympathy line with. "In regards to your lose, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers" Something like that.
I hope this helps, it is very sincere yet not crossing the boundary since you really didn't know him that well.
Good Luck hope this helps!

id go for something that compliments your boyfriend being raised by a caring and loving dad if youve been with your boyf for sometime
Reply:I didn't know you very long but in the time that I did I realised that you were a great man. Always smiling and always cheerful, whenever I saw you, you made me smile. James (boyfriends name) and I will miss you dearly. Rest in peace. Love amy (your name).
Hope this helps and sorry for your loss
Reply:just say it from your heart.....i didnt know that a card was to go with the flowers ...... i would send a sympothy card to the wife/gf.......but just send the flowers to the funeral home.
Reply:You are writing the card to the family, not the deceased. Try something like "With deepest sympathy and affection" and then your name. No love,sincerely etc. Keep it simple.
Reply:may your light linger on in those you loved
Reply:Sorry you had to flop pop.-lol--Your second answer was nice and mature,wise.
Reply:Keep it really simple as in Good Night God Bless and your name.
Reply:well certainly not the words i put on my fathers flowers, i had a black rose and a white rose and wrote 'your death means my peace good riddance father'

How do you attach dried flowers into a shadowbox?
I have dried whole roses from my mothers funeral and would like to make a memorial in a glass shadow box, but I am not sure how to attach the very delicate flowers to the cloth covered cardboard backing?
How do you attach dried flowers into a shadowbox?
Why don`t you try some florists foam..it`s really cheap..and you can insert the flowers where u want...spray flowers with a light covering of hair spray to preserve longer.
Reply:a hot glue gun will work great

Why do we drop flowers onto a casket at the end of a funeral?
I have never known the real reason for the dropping of the flowers onto a casket before it goes under the ground. As well as the reason some people pour alcohol out in rememberance of a deceased friend or family member.
Why do we drop flowers onto a casket at the end of a funeral?
In funeral service history prior to today's modern embalming the reason for flowers being present at a wake and funeral service was for oder control, the flowers were not the same flowers we use today they were specific flowers selected for their aroma / perfume. This has been carried on to today's modern time services flowers are now used as a recognition and the show of support to the grieving family from friends and relatives. Now for your specific question flowers/ boutiners are placed on the casket by the pall bearers as a ceremony or final tribute as they pass by the casket. This would also depend on the funeral directer directing the service whether he is caring and wants to do everything he can to help make this one time life changing event memorable. Others family members place a single flower on the casket because they love them and it is the last thing that can be done at the cemetery and it also ads to the ceremony. Kind of nice huh.
Reply:To show that theyre letting go of the sorrows that the dead left behind
Reply:BECAUSE DEAD PEOPLE CAN'T BRING FLOWERS WITH THEM SO YOU TOSS IT OVER THEIR CASKET!! YOU POUR ALCOHOL BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DRINK IT SO YOU POUR IT OUT FOR THEM %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;YOUR LAST GOODBYE.
Reply:thats a gift from the people they love.
Reply:It's all a big scheme the flower industry has to boost sales. It all started back in 1932 when Otis Q. McMurray, whose flower shop was on the verge of closing in post-depression Rhode Island, came up with a great idea. It was a stupendous, miraculous, ingenious idea! With all of the people dying from poor nutrition, Otis could make money by spreading the rumor that placing flowers on the grave of their recently departed family and friends would bring them good luck in the form of wealth and occupations. And wouldn't you know it, Otis's idea worked! It soon spread to all of the country and soon everyone was placing flowers at the final resting places of their loved ones. And to this day funeral flowers have continued to be a multi-million dollar business.
Reply:i think the flowers has some pagan and buddhist roots... as for the dumping booze, it's just a "sacrifice" lol
Reply:Because they're pretty?
Reply:Its just a gesture of love and affection for the deceased
Reply:Something to take with them in the afterlife
Reply:because in olden days the corpse stunk with decay from no embalming?
Reply:tradition perchance?
Reply:For closure, more than anything else.

House plant dying got from a funeral please help big green leaves w/no flowers drk spots then yellow brown dea
Your over watering it,and it may be in a draught.House plants need very little water and usually no fertiliser.Only water when top of soil is dry,usually once a week in Summer, and fortnightly in Winter. Also keep away from Air Conditioning and any windy spots.
Would a panama style dark black & brown shirt with flowers on it be bad to wear to a funeral home " viewing "
I'm a simple person and don't really need or wear dress cloths.A good friend at work lost one of his parents. I have a black with some brown panama style casual shirt that has white and brown island flowers going around the bottom of this shirt.Will this be ok.I don't want people to think that I don't think it's a big deal losing a family member.

It is slightly insensitive but you could wear a jacket over it if you don't have anything else.
Reply:If this is what you are commonly seen in then I'd say okay. If you are thinking of wearing it because it has black in it I think you are better off wearing a solid color and not something with too many flowers.
Reply:By trying to be respectful it is enough to pay your respects. What you describe sounds fine to me if it's something you would normally wear because you are paying your respects as yourself.
Reply:I think it's ok to wear a casual shirt, but not one with flowers all over it. You'd be better off to wear a lighter color shirt that's plain.
Just my opinion.
Reply:If you want to look like Jimmy Buffet at a funeral....otherwise, no that would be very tacky. Sorry dude
Reply:You are there to pay your respects to the family, not to be judged on what you wear. I feel as long as what you are wearing is tasteful and clean then it should be OK.
When my husband's grandfather passed away his widow wore a powder blue suit and my mother-in-law wore a pale pink suit...these were his favorite colors on them.
Reply:IF the flowers aren't too prominent, I think it would be okay.
Reply:If that is your usual mode of dress and your shirt is neat, cleaned and pressed, it should be fine. I have gone to viewings where people pay their respects after work and are wearing uniforms, work clothes, suits, and they are all appreciated for taking the time to show the family they care.
Reply:No, if you are not a person who normally wears stiff attire no reason to purchase it for this or any occasion. You are there to support your friend and your presence is more important that your attire. If anyone makes note of disregard them as rude. It is not a place to judge others but to support those who are grieving. Be sure to bring or send some fruit to the family - it will be much appreciated. You are a good friend to be concerned about your attire-but don't worry -just be there for your friend.
Reply:Yes it would be in bad taste. Since you are a simple person then just wearing a plain black button down shirt with a tie is enough.

What kind of flowers should i send?
my best friend's dad died last night and i want to send their family some flowers and a card. what kind of flowers should i send to them? its not for the funeral its just for kind of a "Still thinking of you" type of flowers. trying to kind of brighten the room or something like that. what is the best kind of flowers to send for that?
What kind of flowers should i send?
I would suggest a Peace Lily plant. I had only been on my current job 3 weeks when my father passed away. The whole office sent me that beautiful plant. Much nicer than cut flowers, those just die within a couple days.
I'm still with that office, it is going on 7 yrs come June. That plant reminds me of how wonderful they all are.
Reply:A life plant or small shrub that can be planted outside later. I sent an azalia plant to a friend when his mom died. His dad planted it outside about a week after the funeral. My dads family likes to do a tree for the yard, a memory tree. Whatever the family likes that is good for the area you live in.
Reply:i'm terribly sorry...that sucks!!!!
there really isn't a specific answer to that. it is really the opinion of the ones u give them to. ask them or pick ones that remind u/them about better times.
if u really have no idea then purchase peace lilies. they're really comforting.
Godspeed to u all
Reply:Blue rose.
It means, rare and unique. You maybe want your friend that he/she is unique in so many ways and for that will always be remembered. Moreover roses signify love and lot more love.
Reply:See source.
You will find some lovely arrangements and/or live plants delivered from local florists.
Reply:A florist can make up a small mixed arrangement of flowers for them.
If you go to the florist and tell them what you want to do then they should be able to help you pick out something.
Reply:I would try white roses. Also though another really unique thing you could do is if you have some pretty flowers at your house go cut some and dry them out. Then when there dried out tie them all together with a pretty ribbon and send those with a nice kind card.
Reply:call your local florist and ask the designer what THEY would send if they needed to send flowers out. They can best tell you which flowers are in stock that are the nicest and I can tell you from personal experience you will get the nicest arrangements when you let the designers do what they are best at...choosing flowers and combinations and creating arrangements that are as nice as possible :) If you have preferences for colors or containers, you can certainly request that, such as baskets or vases, bright colors or pastels. Tulips are great this time of year, as are lilies, daisies, roses, carnations, alstromeria, stock, snapdragons and waxflower. Good luck.
Reply:Alstroemeria are long lasting cut flowers, come in many colors and the cost is usually on the low end. The other name for these flowers is Pervuian lillies. Here in CA, they can be found at most markets, flower stands and florist. A good friend is born for a time of distress. Glad your there!!!
Reply:Tell the flower owner the situation, and they will be able to help you perfectly? Anything is a nice gesture!
