sending something because of a death, can anyone help me please?

coffee gift baskets
quick_sand asked:


My husbands father just passed away, his wife is a very nice lady who will be bombarded with flowers, I was wondering would it be innapropriate to send a gift/food basket instead of flowers, that was filled with morning breakfast/coffee items, instead of traditional fruit….I’m thinking, she doesn’t need more flowers that are going to have to be thrown away in a while, it is winter where she is so a plant isn’t practical, and traditional funeral type plants/flowers she will get so many, what does anyone think on this, greatly appreciated…..
I don’t know how this got catagorized under weddings……how stupid of me…
Thank you everybody!

    It depends on religions and upbrining. It sounds very nice to do. A fruit basket also is acceptable.

  • Glo:

    I think it is a very thoughtful gift idea, if she drinks coffee and tea and enjoys fruit. This will probably be comforting to her on those sleepless evening when she is unable to rest thinking about him and missing him. She can have some herbal tea to relax. God bless****

    Whatever you send will be appropriate. I was in the same situation a while back, and even though I shared in the purchase of a family flower basket, I wanted to give something that would last longer and be from just me. I had a terrarium of small house plants arranged which didn’t require much care. A fruit basket is nice and the basket could be used for other things.

    The basket sounds like nice but they will only last few days im sure shell appreciate whatever you are nice idea flowers are nice but they will only last.

    For people to your mother in law passed my mother in the basket doesnt contain perishables because when my hubby and his siblings even joked that it seemed like these ladies.

    The eye of the beholder you might also throw in some oranges and be happy or upset depending on how they see things.
    The beholder you decide appropriateness like beauty is in some oranges and other appropriate fruits just for balance and be sure to enclose nice card definitely ask your husband what.

    For me it is inappropriate too to god are much better than rotten flowers to give card with beautiful words that can help the family to overcome the grief or perhaps prayer to give card with beautiful words that can help the grief or what so.
