My Grandmother passed away and I cannot attend the service, should I send flowers to the funeral?

The service is out of state.
My Grandmother passed away and I cannot attend the service, should I send flowers to the funeral?
OMG im sorry to hear that, and yes you should, out of love and respect.
Reply:Yes!!!! Of course it shows respect and shows that you cared about your grandma.
Reply:Yes, of course! Unless she or the family requested no flowers. Sometimes people prefer a donation be made to a charity instead of flowers--ie, the American Cancer Society if they died of cancer, etc.
Reply:Yes, of course send a lovely arrangement and if you know what her favorite was then try to send flowers in those colors.

Sending flowers would also make you feel better about not being able to attend her funeral and put your mind at ease a bit too.

Nice of you to think about sending flowers to your grandmothers funeral and I'm so sorry about your loss.
Reply:Yes or a donation in her name to a charitable organization that she supported or a medical research org for whatever she may have had; such as American Cancer Society.
Reply:Yes send something personal...
Reply:YES, of course! Send a beatiful bouquet. Plan on spending at least $50. My condolances on your loss.
Reply:Yes, that would be a highly considerate thing to do.
Reply:definately
Reply:Yes
Reply:or a wreath
Reply:yes
Reply:I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, AND IF YOU CANT ATTEND THE

FUNERAL THEN I THINK THAT WOULD BE A VERY NICE THING FOR YOU TO DO IS SEND FLOWERS. IF YOU KNOW

WHAT HER FAVORITE WAS THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
Reply:No.

Flowers wilt and die.

Find out what your grandmother's charitable interest was, and send a donation in her memory. It will live on by doing some good that the flowers can't.
Reply:We always did.
Reply:Oh for sure. Sorry to hear about your loss
Reply:Yes you should send flowers at the very least.



More importantly it would be good if you can be there. If you would like to be with your family at this difficult time and the reason you are not going is because you can not afford to travel there, you can get help. Call the American Red Cross. You just have to be able to document the death, a faxed copy of the obituary or a call to the funeral home would probably do it. They will pay for your transportation.
Reply:thats a sweet thought...... thought u already did that.... still wondering... come'on send it ASAP.......
Reply:Don't send flowers, send a condolence card.

Reply:It would be a the customary thing to do.
Reply:yes but send it like 2 days b4 the funeral so it'll get there in time. it shows respect

Reply:that would be nice or you could send money if she is having a memorial fund in her name or you could donate money to a fund in remembrance of your grandma some school some times sell bricks and you could have her name engraved they do this at some zoos also my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family
