Basic Details To Know When Choosing Gifts For Funeral Service

Flowers have been the traditional gift purchased to express condolences, but creativity and greater openness have allowed other gifts for funeral services to gain ground. Find out what you can present to your grieving loved ones and learn how to find the ideal choice.

You may find suggestions for In lieu of flowers gifts posted by the family. Ask at the funeral home or read through the obituary to get direction on charitable donations and other financial gifts. Show your support to the designated organization and present a card to the grieving family.

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.

Planting a tree or setting up a new park bench in honor of the lost loved one provides a lasting memento and ideal gift. Go through your memories for an appropriate location or simply present the grieving family with a certificate detailing the gift and follow up at a later date to confirm the location.

Look through your collection of photographs to find a unique picture. Have the photo specially framed or hire an artist to reproduce the scene as a painting. This provides the grieving family with a lasting memory both of the deceased and your support and love.

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.

Choose an alternative to flowers and show your support to grieving families with one of these funeral gift ideas.
