Flowers

Over time, flowers have turned into some of the most popular sympathy gifts around. It’s why just about North Port, FL funeral home is filled to the brim with flowers. Flowers make a great sympathy gift because they can carry so much meaning. Lilies, roses, and carnations are just some of the types of funeral flowers that have special meanings behind them. Flowers are also great sympathy gifts because they can be used to decorate a funeral home for the funeral services of a grieving family’s loved one.

 

Donations

Although many families appreciate getting flowers as sympathy gifts in the days following a loved one’s death, others would prefer for people to not send them. In many cases, these families will make a note of this in their loved one’s obituary, and they’ll also suggest that people make donations in their loved one’s name instead. You should always sneak a peek at a person’s obituary to see whether or not their family would like people to make charitable donations as opposed to sending flowers.
