How to Send Roses to a Funeral

Roses make a great funeral arrangement.

Sending flowers in memory of a deceased friend or family member is one of many ways to express what that person meant to you. A beautiful rose bouquet can join other flower arrangements in showing that the deceased was important in many people's lives. Sending roses to a funeral is a relatively straightforward process, as long as you give yourself enough time to get it done.

Instructions

1. Speak with a friend or family member of the deceased to find out where the funeral service will be held. As a rule, you only need the address of the funeral home.

2. Contact a local florist shop. Funeral arrangements are a common task of florists and the person you speak to should be able to help you walk through the best arrangement for your price range and taste.

3. Give the florist the funeral information and pay for your flowers. Funerals are a common occasion for flower orders and it is likely your local florist is already familiar with the funeral home.

4. Add a note to the flowers that expresses your sympathy to the family and a quick mention of why the deceased was important to you. This personal touch goes a long way in comforting a grieving family.
