Because I am a custom florist, every creation is one of a kind.  Your expression of sympathy will be just that -

 

Although increasingly, families are requesting “in lieu of flowers” at funerals and memorial services, flowers are still an integral part of saying farewell.

 

A recent study* found that over half of respondents said that, following the passing of their loved one, receiving flowers helped with their grieving.

 

Flowers bring warmth and personality to memorial services.  They are a way of representing the deceased’s interests and personal preferences.  Gifts of  living plant, seeds or bulbs also offer a way for the survivors to remember the deceased after the memorial.

 

Sending flowers or plants shows those mourning that you are thinking of them, and that you care.  Including a special flower, the deceased’s favorite colors, or a handwritten note from you are ways to personalize your gift.
