Funerals, do you send flowers or make donations ?

When my mother and dad died it meant so much to me to read the cards, sometimes that is just as good. I now a lot of times send the person a card and put $20 in it

Funerals, do you send flowers or make donations ?
Flowers
Reply:both
Reply:neither. i write. flowers die too. money is everywhere.
Reply:Make donations
Reply:For my Grandfather%26#039;s funeral, we had people make donations to St. Jude instead of sending flowers. It was more fitting since My niece is a patient.
Reply:if its a relative my siblings and I will send flowers.If its a friend,I usually make a donation.
Reply:Both. I also call. I even send them food.
Reply:Both but I think donations would be better.
Reply:i usually just give the family money
Reply:do both
Reply:make donation
Reply:If they give a place for a requested donation I usually do that. There are always so many flowers sent.

Reply:donations
Reply:Both, plus attend,pray and mingle w/ the assembled multitude unless of course it%26#039;s your own.
Reply:Depends on the deceased. We%26#039;ve shot fireworks before.
Reply:Both.
Reply:Flowers. I really should make donations, but for some reason it%26#039;s easier to get flowers.
Reply:donations
Reply:It is correct to do either one.
Reply:I have done both, but now I usually give memorial Gideon%26#039;s Bibles in that person%26#039;s name. Another possibility is, when my Uncle died we gave my Aunt a concrete bench for her yard. She loves it. Here%26#039;s another, buy and plant a tree in the family%26#039;s yard in memory of the person.
Reply:Up to you. Which ever one you think they%26#039;ll appreciate more from you.
Reply:Neither I pay the mortgage or a utility bill for 2 months to help out the family. And if possible I do it without them knowing.
Reply:Whatever the family requests as the funeral is to help with their grieving and to grant them closure.
Reply:Donations.


$ speaks louder no matter what.


And of course, caring action.
Reply:donations the flowers are nice but they can%26#039;t help the family with any expenses that they may incounter
