An old friend's mother passed away and her funeral is today? I want to bring flowers or something...?

but I don't know if that's something I should do at the funeral? Should I leave it in my car and wait till afterwards? Do I bring flowers to my friend? Help!! If I do bring flowers... what kind do I bring?

Calling the florist and having a live plant delivered to your friends home would probably be the best idea. It's always difficult to take flowers to a funeral.





A donation to the mother's favorite charity is a nice gesture, too. The charity will notify the family of the donation.
Reply:Find out if the family would rather have a donation to a specific charity in place of flowers.
Reply:Lost BIL recently and I can't tell you how many flowers they had. They are beautiful, but we had to keep stepping outside for fresh air because the allergies were kicking in. Find out if the family requests donations. It means a lot more and it has a longer lasting effect.
Reply:flowers
Reply:Call a flower shop. If you buy flowers the flower shop can deliver them for you. It doesn't have to be flowers. They have some very nice plants available. I received a planter when my brother died and I still have the plants. For me it's a way to remember that even after death life goes on.
Reply:You should keep the flowers and give them to her after the funeral, or take them to her home and give them to her there. During the funeral enough will be happening and she won't be able to keep track of flowers and plants, etc. Lilies are always a good choice.
Reply:No. Flowers are nice, but alot of people give flowers. However, money in the memory of your friends mom is always appreciated, it helps to pay for funeral expenses.
