Do you bring flowers to a viewing?
Have them delivered. When you go, take food with you. Not for yourself, but for the kitchen. Something light- sandwiches or something. Also, if nobody does it, make a pot of coffee.
Reply:Usually there are a lot of floral arrangements at the viewing when you arrive, from family members, etc. a card is nice to take. You being there is the best token of showing your sympathy.





There is no rule that says you cant bring flowers. If you want to bring a small arrangement for your personal friend, I think you should.
Reply:If your bring flowers, it needs to be in an arrangement that will be set by the coffin. The currator will know what to do with them. Having them delivered is optimal but not always an option. Your friend is going to have so much on their mind that you do NOT need to bother them directly with where a flower agrrangement should go.





Take a little pack of tissues with you. And dont be offended if they are not social just be there if your freind needs an ear.


Any cards of sympathy needs to be mailed though, it will be too much to deal with the day of the funeral.





good luck

Reply:No, you do not bring flowers to a viewing. You may send flowers thru a florist, but it is not necessary. Ususally this is done by someone who cannot attend or family members. Catholics give Mass cards. You may bring or mail a card. The best gift you can give at this time is just being there for your friend.
Reply:Call the funeral home and ask. Some religions do NOT have flowers at all. If you want them to have flowers, you go to a florist (or call them) and have them delivered to the funeral home.





It%26#039;s not a bad idea to send flowers a couple of weeks later, either, in case you didn%26#039;t send them to the funeral home. Your friend won%26#039;t have any flowers left from the funeral (if they took some home or if some were delivered to the house) and yours will brighten their day.
Reply:i would send a bouquet to their huse instead, saying sorry and that you are thinking of them
