Purchasing and sending funeral flowers to the funeral home is one of the most common and time-consuming tasks when planning a funeral. This task can be made even more complicated if you are unable to visit the flower shop or funeral home due to several different reasons. If you want to simplify this task you should either speak with the funeral director or use our funeral flower service.
It is always a good idea to include a note on any sympathy or funeral flowers you plan on sending to the deceased's loved ones. For many people this may be a difficult thing to write, either because they are not confident in their writing ability or they are overwhelmed with grief and sadness themselves. Remember that during these times you can rely on some timeless phrases to convey your sympathies and love to friends and family.
Whether you plan on having a traditional funeral and memorial service or a modern "celebration of life", you will want to record who attended and give them the opportunity to share something. The funeral guestbook (or funeral registry book) serves as a way of recording who attended the funeral or memorial service and for those attending to have the opportunity to share condolences and a memory that can be both cathartic and healing for those who share it and the family of the deceased.
In this day and age when family and friends often live in different parts of the country, you may not always be able to be in person for a funeral. This is especially the case as of this writing with COVID-19 (Coronavirus), and individuals wanting to not travel. However, there are ways you can still honor your loved one and friends who have passed from a distance.
Writing a sympathy card to a family member or friend can be difficult. Finding the right tone, while expressing your sympathy and trying to be heartfelt can be a balancing act. By following these simple rules you can make sure that you express your condolences in the right tone.
