Does anyone know,can i make a funeral flower arrangment myself? I cant afford to buy one but?

my sons father died unexpectedly yesterday and i want to make sure that i have a "daddy" flower arrangment of some kind at the wake etc...


But, i have very little money so i am trying to figure out if i can make this at home and with little money.


It is disgusting how i feel people way over charge for things surrounding someone's death. What about someone poor like me??


I guess im screwed huh??!


Please if anyone has any info on this please let me know ASAP!


Thanks

Yes, you can make one yourself, that would actually be more thoughtful! And I'm sorry about your loss.
Reply:You could do fresh flowers, daisys and carnations are usually less expensive flowers. Or try going to a florist and see if you buy in volume if they can offer some kind of discount.


You may also want to try some artificial flowers. They are ususally very cost effective.


How about avoiding flowers all together, when my grandfather died my siblings and I made a wreath with different fishing tackle since he was an avid fisherman. This was very unique, and was less expensive then the same size flower wreath.


Just know though that a lot of the money for the wreaths/tributes goes to labour costs.
Reply:Is there a craft store like Michaels near you? Look online at sympathy arrangements to get ideas to know what kind you want to make. then deliver to the funeral home early-before the starting time of the wake .Dont carry with you as you enter when the others are present
Reply:No I dought you are a screw up. I am sorry for your families loss. Here is a website.They have a metal emblem that says dad, you can place that in a set of flowers. The piece is only 99 cents. Again I am sorry :-(
