When to send flowers (funeral)

A good friend of mine in Detroit lost her mother this week.  Visitation is tonight at a funeral home, service is tomorrow at a church.  If I send the flowers today, will they move them to the church tomorrow?  Or should I send them to the church?  Or should I send them to their home?

My other thought was to get them a membership to the wine of the month club (or maybe quarterly) and have it sent in memory of her mom.  that way they can think of her and toast her each time they get a bottle.

Any advice/thoughts is appreciated.

Re: When to send flowers (funeral)

  • If you send flowers to the funeral home, they should transport them to the church for the services.
  • From my experience, most funeral homes move all the flowers in a situation like that.  

    Or, make a donation to a cause that your friend/mother would find worthy?

  • I would suggest the membership to something like the wine club or a gift card for dinner somewhere, etc.   

    I received many flowers and plants, but the awesome gift that I got from the Nesties was to receive flowers every other month for a year was one of my most favorites.  It brightened my day/month when I received them and reminded me of how lucky I was to have such wonderful friends.

  • I am probably too late, but I agree with Sweet Thang.  There is so much support that is focused on the services, but it's the months that follow that are the most challenging.  Sending regular notes to your friend to let her know you are thinking about her would be very uplifting.  Or even just sending a note out of the blue would be much appreciated.  The wine of the month idea is a great one, as is the flower idea.
