Future Floral Remembrance Plan
The Weeks Following the Funeral
In the first few weeks after a death, family and friends are surrounded by love
and attention. But the visits, flowers, cards, and calls eventually dwindle to
a trickle, and then may be none. These are the toughest times.
Experts say that although this initial outpouring of sympathy is a great comfort
to a family that has lost a loved one, many people experiencing such a loss
appreciate knowing they are being thought of in the weeks and months after the
funeral. However, this happens all too rarely.
Denise Lee, former floral consultant for the Society of American Florists,
points out that, “People continue to care about their grieving friends, but
sometimes feel that a continued show of sympathy may be an unwelcome reminder
for the bereaved. The reverse is true. Flowers or a card help immensely after
the rush of attention has subsided.”
With the Future Floral Remembrance Plan, you can brighten this lonely time by
sending a floral remembrance at a specific time (days, month, or a year)
afterwards….making this gift especially cherished for its timing and
thoughtfulness.
