Easy Ways to Save on Funeral Flowers, Arrangements + Sympathy Baskets

Hearing the news that a loved one has died is one of the most challenging things we deal with in our lives. Even though we may feel awkward or uncomfortable, it is important to express our sympathies to the people most affected by the passing.

Here are a few ideas on how and where to send condolences:

• Send a card or bouquet to the home of the immediate family
• Send an arrangement to the funeral home (if one is being used to coordinate the memorial services)
• Send a sympathy gift basket at any time, especially in the weeks following the funeral
• Make a donation in honor of the deceased, and have the organization send a notice
  

Many online flower companies offer discounts, and it is easy to save while purchasing a funeral arrangement. You can use a 1800flowers.com promotion code to save on any of their elegant sympathy or funeral flowers.
