Call the funeral home where the services are being held and ask them for the best means of ordering flowers. They may have a specific florist that they deal with who is connected with Teleflora or FTD or some other service that you can use via phone or Internet.





The exact arrangement should be up to you so don't get bulldozed into getting something really elaborate. Insofar as the type of flowers, check with the people caring for her. Did she have any specific favorites? Are they available at this time of year?





One other point -- check with the people who are going to be at the wake for any allergies. When my dad died, the funeral home put together two very nice but somewhat smallish arrangements. This ended up being a blessing because my mom is extremely sensitive to scents and elaborate displays would have caused major allergic reactions. Certainly those would have been the last thing she needed while mourning her husband.
Reply:Search for florists in the town where your GGmother's funeral is to be held. Find the name of the place she'll be shown, and order flowers delivered there. If that is too much, send some money to the family along with a condolence card, usually finances to help pay for funeral costs are expensive, and family sure appreciate offsetting the cost. Then one day when you are able to visit her grave, you can wait to buy flowers and place them on her gravesite.
