Recently, my husband's grandmother passed away. We wanted to send flowers, but in the past have had some trouble with sending flowers through some of the online companies. The flowers weren't very similar to what was pictured, plus are fairly expensive.
Since we live in the same town as the funeral, I purchased flowers and a vase and put together an arrangement. We delivered the flowers to the funeral home ahead of the calling hours. The flowers probably cost about 1/2 of what a similar florist arrangement would have cost. (I wish I had taken a picture, but I forgot.)
Obviously, this wouldn't work if the funeral were out of town, but I'm curious...have any of you done your own flower arrangements for funerals? When my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago, I purchased roses and created a nosegay of roses for that funeral. This was a great deal cheaper than similar nosegays of florist created roses.
What do you typically do for funeral flowers?
