When is it appropriate to send Sympathy flowers?

Sending sympathy flowers is an excellent show of care for your loved ones, both the dearly departed and the deeply bereaved. Often, the larger floral arrangements for the funeral or service are purchased by close family or friends, but smaller arrangements are a fantastic way to pay tribute to the deceased. Sending flowers, gifts, or plants to the home is a tasteful way to show compassion for a bereaved loved one. Sending arrangements to the home, to your friends and family, is also a wonderful way to show compassion when the dearly departed does not want flowers at their funeral.
