Sympathy Flowers
A part of culture since the beginning of humanity
Throughout the world, funeral flowers have played an important role in funeral customs because of their fragrant beauty and comforting qualities. What’s more, they serve as a herald of hope reminding us of the spirit of life. In ancient times, tradition called for loved ones to use flowers and herbs to anoint the bodies of the deceased, while aromatic flowers and plants were used to decorate the burial site. Today, flowers remain one of the most beautiful ways to express our condolences when words fail us. During times of sorrow, sympathy flowers are messengers of hope when it’s needed most.

It is still appropriate to send flowers
The obituary says "In lieu of funeral flowers," but I still would like to send flowers – is this appropriate? Yes, flowers are also appropriate in these situations. Many people choose to send a token of remembrance to the service or family home as well as a donation to the charity indicated.
