Now I think I've heard everything

Who was thought to be responsible for the return of the flowers?

The flower shop? The funeral home? The deceased's family? And how?...by mail, or what? How bizarre!

when my mil passed away - the flowers were sent home with the family... we divided up the arrangements and plants so that the sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and grandchildren and favorite neighbors had a reminder of her love for them.
the flower spray that was on the casket was taken apart one flower at a time and people tossed them in the grave or took them home to press in a memory book.
flowers are a memory, it was rather tacky that the person took theirs home without realizing the comfort it might of offered the surviving spouse and family

I know something even tackier. My friend (who is not married and who lives alone) made a cake (from a cake mix) for his mother's birthday. He decorated it with sprinkles and candles, and took it to his parents' house. Three people live in the house, the mother, the fater and a brother). They each had some cake, then my friend brought the rest of the cake back home! I told him this was tacky. He said it would have been too much cake for them (three people). I said it's too much for 3 people, but just right for one person -- YOU? Can you believe how creepy and tacky this is?!?!?!?

That's the first time I ever heard of "return to sender" or "to be given to" on funeral flowers!!!

I'm shocked.

In our family, flowers are usually sent to the hospital/doctor's office, the people who took care of family member prior to death.

I guess, I'm thankful that although quirky relatives, do read this board...I would hate for them to think this was acceptable.

I'm stunned that people would do this.

Guys like him make me look better, lol.

Talk about Tacky, funeral homes that haul flower arrangments back and resale to the next sad family...Glen
