Funeral Flowers

Do you buy flowers for a funeral ,or give a donation ? I prefer to give a donation to a charity of the illness/ disease the person died from'Its so sad to see flowers wilting after a funeral

Re: Funeral Flowers

I do buy flowers unless the family of the deceased request donations to charity.

Re: Funeral Flowers

Deylon,

I would rather give a donation to a Charity of their choice. I resent the terrible price they charge for flowers. It is well over $100.00 to send a decent bouquet. I would rather a donation of $100.00 if I am going to spend that much.

Re: Funeral Flowers

No - I do not buy flowers for funerals. The deceased cannot enjoy them so what is the point. Would much rather give a donation.

Re: Funeral Flowers

I prefer to give a donation at a funeral, I do like to place flowers on my loved ones graves .

Re: Funeral Flowers

Me too Lion, once a year I go and take something pretty and simple. On my mom's grave, I have an angel with a globe that charges with the sun and shines at night. I love that.

Re: Funeral Flowers

I agree with Leia.
It depends what the deceased's family request.

Re: Funeral Flowers

Re: Funeral Flowers

It depends upon the famliy's wishes

Re: Funeral Flowers

Normally I would give a donation to the Charity of their choice, I do buy Flowers for Family members unless stated otherwise.
