Funeral flowers?

Funeral flowers?
If the family is joint-buying flowers, maybe you should contribute. It depends on your age %26amp; situation -- whether you are considered a child whose parents do the spending, or an adult who plays an equal financial role to other family members.


Otherwise, as his granddaughter you are technically in mourning and people should send flowers to you.
Reply:If you barely knew him, etc., then perhaps instead of flowers, you could make a donation to a charity the family has designated? Most families give the option these days to either give flower or donate to such-and-such charity.

will know you cared, funeral flowers are expensive spread the cost , the thought will be there good luck x
Reply:You are not required to do anything, but being generous and gracious is always better than being rude and thoughtless. The flowers are not for your grandfather, they are for your parents and other survivors. It is a show of respect.
Reply:Actually I don't send flowers to funerals. I lean towards plants or even a gift certificate for food.





My sister died when she was 16yo. My family had so many flowers (we live in a small town and own the grocery store so everyone knew us). Some people sent Pizza Hut GC, which came in handy when my mom didn't want to cook.
Reply:In many cases the flowers get thrown away , or taken home by family members . have you talked to your parents , sometimes family members share the expense of flowers. Or help out with meals or phone expenses.
Reply:Go in with someone else on flowers, pay partial cost of them. Must be other family members who are sending some.
Reply:Yes, I think he would appreciate it if you did. It also brings comfort for the bereaved seeing more flowers at the funeral.
