Funeral and Sympathy Flowers

Flowers are the traditional sympathy gift, and for good reason. They add brightness and cheer to a somber environment and are a tangible symbol of the love and support surrounding the bereaved family.

Some tips for sending flowers:

• Ask the florist to include your name and address on the card, so the family will know who they are from. This is also a great help to the family if they send thank you cards.
• If you knew the deceased as a work colleague or through a club membership, it can be a great idea to pool your resources and send flowers as a group. This enables the purchase of a larger wreath or floral arrangement and commemorates the person's involvement in the community.
• If the flowers are being sent directly to the family home, smaller flower arrangement or other potted plants can be more appropriate. Large arrangements, sprays, and wreaths are beautiful for the funeral ceremony but might be difficult to manage in the home setting, especially if many are received.
• Within the Jewish community, fruit and food baskets, sent to the family home, are often preferable to flowers.
