Are Flowers The Only Gifts For Funeral Services?

Flowers have been the traditional gift purchased to express condolences, but creativity and greater openness have allowed other gifts for funeral services to gain ground. Find out what you can present to your grieving loved ones and learn how to find the ideal choice.

You may find suggestions for In lieu of flowers gifts posted by the family. Ask at the funeral home or read through the obituary to get direction on charitable donations and other financial gifts. Show your support to the designated organization and present a card to the grieving family.

Grieving families become easily run down before, during and after the funeral services. Consider providing them with food to allow more space to grieve or simply recuperate. If preparing hot meals or baked goods is not possible, purchase gift cards from their favorite restaurants or pick up prepared food from the grocery store. Take any allergies and preferences into consideration before dropping off the food and leave detailed instructions for reheating and storage.

Think about purchasing a long lasting gift in honor of the deceased and providing the grieving family with a place to rest and remember. Plant a tree in their backyard or have a bench or memorial stone placed in a nearby park or favorite vacation spot. You can present the family with a picture of the item or take them there later on.

Look through your collection of photographs to find a unique picture. Have the photo specially framed or hire an artist to reproduce the scene as a painting. This provides the grieving family with a lasting memory both of the deceased and your support and love.

Some funerals gifts do not need to cost any money. Consider donating your time or skills to help out the grieving family. Lawn cutting, house cleaning, snow shoveling, home repairs and any other service that you can provide allow the grievers more time to heal. Write out your intentions in a card or simply show up and offer the services, depending on your relationship with the grieving family.

Think about presenting grievers with sentiments other than flowers, or supplement the traditional condolence with one of these creative options to express your love and support.
