Funerals, do you send flowers or make donations ?

When my mother and dad died it meant so much to me to read the cards, sometimes that is just as good. I now a lot of times send the person a card and put $20 in it

Reply:Make donations
Reply:For my Grandfather's funeral, we had people make donations to St. Jude instead of sending flowers. It was more fitting since My niece is a patient.

Reply:It is correct to do either one.
Reply:I have done both, but now I usually give memorial Gideon's Bibles in that person's name. Another possibility is, when my Uncle died we gave my Aunt a concrete bench for her yard. She loves it. Here's another, buy and plant a tree in the family's yard in memory of the person.
Reply:Up to you. Which ever one you think they'll appreciate more from you.
Reply:Neither I pay the mortgage or a utility bill for 2 months to help out the family. And if possible I do it without them knowing.
Reply:Whatever the family requests as the funeral is to help with their grieving and to grant them closure.
Reply:Donations.


$ speaks louder no matter what.


And of course, caring action.
