What to do with Flowers from a Funeral?
We know it’s traditional to send flowers for a funeral as an expression of sympathy. So consider asking attendees to the service to bring a flower as a tribute to your lost loved one. The flowers can be placed into a wreath. Then they can be placed on the casket. Or if the person is cremated and the remains are scattered, you could put the wreath out to sea along with the ashes. The flowered wreath will gently float away.

Here is what a customer said about the cards:
“I just wanted to let you know – we had my mom’s memorial service/celebration of life Sept 2 at HoChunk Casino/Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin (one of mom’s favorite places 🙂 I placed a dollar casino token and one of the wildflower seed inscribed heart cards that I ordered from you at each place setting at the tables. People commented and really thought they were great. Thanks for offering such a wonderful website-you were a godsend at a really difficult time.” Kimberly T.
