Welcome to the Blog for Fancy That!
We proudly call our blog “A Cup of Glee.”
Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy!
Today, I thought I'd talk about something a bit unusual: flower etiquette for funerals. We've all heard and read it before: "In Lieu of Flowers, donations may be made to.......". Flowers are an integral part of a funeral. What people often don't realize is that flowers at a funeral are always appropriate (unless of course, it is against a religious custom), even if a donation is going to be made, because flowers add warmth to the service and provide the visible emotional support that the family needs. When my sister passed in 2002, I realized first hand how true the above statement is. I was deeply touched by all the flowers she received, and I was exceedingly grateful. It really was an enormous comfort. So, please remember that if you decide to make a donation in memory of someone, you can still send flowers, and vice versa. One does not have to be in lieu of the other.
While we're on the topic, I recently found a great site (healingbaskets.com) that offers for sale unique sympathy gifts and even memorial tokens that can be handed out to those who attend the wake or service. There's even a section of gifts for those battling cancer - all in all, healingbaskets.com offers an amazing collection of unique and meaningful ways to, believe it or not, celebrate someone's life. Another site worth mentioning here is zenamoon.com. Their hand-poured candles and unique gifts will, in their own words: honor your journey, delight your senses and feed your spirit.
ok, now onto a lighter note:
The Flying Saucer
