I am going to a viewing today the funeral is tommorrow. The father and son of the woman are friends of mine a

and my sons. We see them reguarly at practice daily. My question is if you know that they are not plant or flower people what should i give as a condolence gift? Money, card, book any suggestion would be great. Will be going there in a couple of hours i should have asked sooner.

I would suggest a card with money in it. That is more appropriate than anything. I feel that flowers are gettin old. My mom has told me to give her flowers while she live b/c once she is dead and gone, she can't smell them. That is a good point and why spend money on flowers instead just give money to the family...I'm sure they can use it for something. I'm sorry to hear about the lost.
Reply:I would do a simple card if anything at all - the fact that you are going shows that you are sympathetic and care about them.
Reply:When someone in my family died, people always brought food over to the house. We always bring food to people's houses when someone dies as well.
Reply:maybe just a card to show you care. also turn up to teh service and offer sympathy etc. maybe invite them round to dinner
Reply:yes to above, a card---maybe if you have a photo of the deceased w/ you or members of your family (one they may not have), get a frame from walmart and give it to them
Reply:I've seen where people will donate to a charity of the person that died.(Cancer, Diabetes etc)Call the funeral home,I'll bet they can advise you.
Reply:Since flowers are not an option, a card expressing your sympathy is the most appropriate action to take. Trust me, when a loved one dies, gifts are not on your mind. Often it takes days for family members to open the cards. It is a nice and simple way to show your concern for them and will be appreciated.
Reply:Usualy you give a plant or flowers however if they don't like those things then maybe you can give money towards the deceased favorite charity and a card doesn't hurt...hope this helps
Reply:They will have a memorial box at the funeral home for monetary donations...that will help the family out more than flowers anyways!!!!
Reply:A lot of times the family will just ask that you make a donation to a charity like the heart association if the person had heart disease or cancer research if they had cancer.
Reply:I've never known of people giving "gifts" at a funeral!



Flowers are given to the dead out of respect for the beauty they brought into our lives when they were alive!



Give nothing! Maybe make them a meal.
