Flowers Delivered

My Grandpa just died yesterday and his funeral will take place this Saturday. I wanted to have flowers delivered automatically to the funeral home. Is this appropriate? Am I suppose that the flowers were delivered, or is it that friends of the family members do?

You can indeed send flowers to the funeral home for your grandfather. It shows that you love him and want him homage. Usually, a family is grieving too much thought, but personally I think there is nothing wrong with that. When my grandparents died, I even asked the funeral home and / or the Minister if I could put my picture in their coffins before they were closed. I knew that Grandma and Grandpa would never know they were there, but it made me feel better "be close" to them.
The photos were added to the coffins - in fact, they are placed on the heart of my grandparents.
Some of my cousins, then did the same, as grandmother / grandfather went to heaven with all the pictures of their grandchildren.
Interesting story: my grandmother died the day before New Year's 1991, just 2 1 / 2 months after grandfather (they were married for 63 years and feels like she has given about life after filing). In early January 1992, my aunt called my mother and me to come to their house because we just had to see something in their garage. Once we got there, we saw a snowy owl, white male and female, sitting on the roof and they had not moved that day together. My cousin, a photographer, was able to get within 2 feet of these birds to take their picture, and they still did not move away from her. Snowy owls are not common in my part of Iowa - or even state what I know - and I've never seen anything since that day 18 years ago. My cousin and I think it was my grandparents' spirits to come to us in this form to let us know they were good and not cry or worry about it.

Usually, you can place an order with a florist and have them delivered directly to the funeral home Some funeral homes have a florist nearby, but florist or funeral home can carry the flowers to where they should go. The funeral will set them up for viewing and funerals, and carry it to a landfill at a distance, if the funeral is not part of the cemetery where the deceased will be buried.

You can also inquire directly with the funeral home, if you have further questions.

There is no need to send flowers, but many people do.

Anyone can send flowers as a sign of respect, but nobody is obliged to do so. If you live outside the area, definitely send flowers to show respect. If you do not you can always send or bring flowers, but you can make a meal for the visitors to the house then it will need more than flowers.

Whoever wants. You are not required, but if it makes you feel better, it does, or make a contribution in honor of him at his church or favorite charity.

My past poppy in October and we sent flowers do not worry any family or friends is appreciated. Also, we sent a factory in the past also, they are also beautiful and last longer.
