Sending Flowers to a Cremation
When sending flowers to a cremation there are a few thing you may want to keep in mind.
- Is there going to be a service/memorial, if so where?
- If there are no service where should flowers be sent to?
- What size arrangement is appropriate?
Service Info
Is there going to be a service or a memorial held? If so it is completely appropriate to have flowers sent. If there will be a memorial held at a funeral home make sure you know the date and time, when placing an order you can include that in the Special Instructions.
Perhaps the memorial will take place somewhere other than a funeral home. If this is the case make sure to include the full address, including the name of the place, phone number to where it’s going, and the time the memorial will take place.
No Memorial
If there will not be any services or memorial held flowers can always be sent to a family member at their home address. We would need to be provided with their full address and phone number.
