Details To Know When Choosing Gifts For Funeral Service

Creativity and modern ideas combine to move beyond the traditional flowers as gifts for funeral services, branching into a host of original and unique sentiments. Choose something that reflects your relationship with the deceased and the grieving family and show your support with one of these alternative gifts.

Check the obituary or postings at the funeral home for directions from the family regarding in lieu of flowers gifts. In many cases a particular charity or organization has been designated to receive financial gifts from fellow grievers. This can be a wonderful way to show support and honor the deceased with a lasting gift.

Consider supporting the grievers with a gift of food. Prepared meals, restaurant gift cards and snacks on hand help the family to make it through the difficult initial grieving time. This can be a one-time gift or an ongoing blessing, depending on the type of food. Fill their freezer with nutritious options and always keep allergies and tastes in mind. Be sure to include instructions for storage and reheating.

Lasting memorials offer another touching gift option. Plant a tree, create a garden or place a park bench in a special location in honor of the deceased. Consider a local park or traditional vacation spot. Have a picture taken of the memorial for presentation to the family or take them to the location for a time of rest and reflection.

Memories become incredibly precious after the passing of a loved one and photographs capture memories well. Frame a photograph of the deceased or a picture of a location special to the grieving family. You may also consider having a photograph painted or sketched. Have the picture mounted in an attractive frame and ready to hang.

Some funerals gifts do not need to cost any money. Consider donating your time or skills to help out the grieving family. Lawn cutting, house cleaning, snow shoveling, home repairs and any other service that you can provide allow the grievers more time to heal. Write out your intentions in a card or simply show up and offer the services, depending on your relationship with the grieving family.

Think about presenting grievers with sentiments other than flowers, or supplement the traditional condolence with one of these creative options to express your love and support.
