What can I have sent to the funeral home, it is for a small child, I don't want to just send flowers?
send them a prayer and your love and if you knew the child send a fond memory. They will need all the prayers and memories they can get now.
Reply:Send flowers and a little teddy bear
Reply:An angel! Precious Moments maybe.
Reply:You should send him a get out of hell free card.
Reply:A balloon bouquet is appropriate for a childs funeral..also a stuffed animal. I'm sorry for the loss
Reply:A donation to a Children's charity in the deceased childs name.
Reply:a small teddy bear or a little angel bear..........
Reply:It's alway tough when it's child. My dad's friend lost his son, they were both really into hunting. So, we sent a buck statue with a fawn standing beside it.
Reply:girl u send him some extra krispy chicken wings with extra patatoes! but seriouly flowers and a get well soon card usually do the trick.
Reply:A deddy...no, no, no. A Teddy-bear.
Reply:first,name of child, and depending, i challenge you to use your imagination. quick notice? THE ONLY THING ANYONE RESPONDING TO THIS QUESTION CAN DO IS OFFER A BRIEF CREATIVE SUGGESTION. mine will be...think of them and...buy a simple toy from the store that you like. write a good thought on a card that first speaks to the love of children and second remembers the parent or aunt/uncle that will read it. And offer your personal service to the lovelost closest person to the child, making sure that you make yourself available even at 3:00 in the morning for all your worth. For this is concern...and this is life, to the reborn friend in need.~daniel~8/18/6
Reply:bring your love with you his or her family will need it all.......gifts are of no use.
Reply:Mostly flowers, you could put in a small stuffed animal. But remember the space is usually limited in the funeral home.


You can call the funeral home if you like and ask them.


You could also send a plant.


I wouldnt send musch to the funeral home though, the family will be so upset over there loss they most likely wont take anything home with them.


NO balloons, unless the family requseted it, they may find it inapropriate.Also the funeral home may not accept them.


Bring dinner or a meal to the family that week instead, or bake some cookies for them later and bging by.


Sorry to hear about the loss.
Reply:Send something that really reminds you of that child...and give it to the parent
Reply:We know that older people are likely to die--we prepare emotionally and by getting life insurance. It's more upsetting when a young child dies, and also less likely that the parents are prepared for it.





They probably weren't prepared to pay for a funeral, and there may be a lot of medical bills, too, depending on how the child died. My husband was hit by a car once (and lived). Our insurance paid 90%, but that left about $5000 we had to pay. If the family needs it, I'd send a pretty card with a check to help out with the expenses.





If the family is well off, they still probably don't need so many flowers--maybe they would appreciate a donation made to a children's hospital or a research center for their child's disease.
Reply:A stuffed animal or an arrangement shaped as an angle. Sorry for you lose, may god bless you and that child.
Reply:send food for the Friends and relatives
Reply:I know this may not be a good suggetion... but how about an album of photos of the child, or a big picture frame with artwork and pictures (if you get a hold of any). OR money, as bad as it sounds, is always welcome in a time of need (along with a self-help book?)
Reply:not much to send, its not that you send something as long as you send your condolences
Reply:How sad that this child passed away. My sister owns a flower shop. One client asked her to do a balloon bouquet to Honor a child. The mother was so touched that she went to my sisters shop to thank her in person.
Reply:A small stuffed animal with a plant that the family can take home.
Reply:oh that's so sad what happened?? but in any rate you could simply send a card and some money to the parents I'm sure they could use it. maybe there are some debts from the child and nobody but the wealthy and overly insured and scam artists are prepared for these things. Most regular people live paycheck to paycheck. I suggest get a sympathy card and put a few bucks in there to help them. the child is gone and realistically they can't do nothing with some stuffed toys they need money.
