If you hear about a death in someone's family?

a couple of weeks after the funeral, is it right to send flowers or a card? How long is too long before you don%26#039;t send anything?

If you hear about a death in someone%26#039;s family?
With my experiences ....If you show any sign of concern of any ones loss .........It is greatly appreciated although it may not seem that way at the time.





In truth .....there is never a good time to remind someone of the death of a loved one. Because it will always conjure up the pain. But at the same time it helps them to cope to know others feel the same way and that they are not alone.
Reply:I think Emily Post will tell you up to a year. Personally I would say 6 months, after that people are starting to get on and not thinking about the death as much. Finding a card at that point might up set someone. After six months, I would make it more personal, give them a call.
Reply:no ,sometimes people dont hear about the funeral at the same time . They might have been out of town or something,it will still be excepted anytime it is recieve
Reply:Its never too late to send condolences. Just add a little note that you just heard.
Reply:even a year later is fine
Reply:It%26#039;s never to late.


Send a nice card.
Reply:It%26#039;s still nice to send a card (and say you just heard). If you are good friends with the family it would be nice to take them a casserole, cake, etc. When people are mourning, they just don%26#039;t feel like cooking.
Reply:Over a year. After 12 months you should have known. It safe to do so now.
Reply:They appreciate all they recieve, at any time,. I just put a bouquet on the door step. Be modest about it, and dont expect them to give you thanks, they are hurting.
Reply:Don%26#039;t send flowers, but a donation to a charity in the deceased%26#039;s name would be nice.
Reply:It%26#039;s never too late, as long as you explain the reason you are sending them a little late
Reply:Do it w/ in the next couple days and you should be ok. If the death was w/ in the immediate family then you should make a casserole or some sort of food. When my sisters husband died I was impressed by how many people sent them food in disposable containers! It was heart warming. She was able to freeze them and use them as she needed. Which was great because teen age boys like to eat and the last thing she needed was to cook. Months after she would have people coming to her door offering help. One man mowed all summer. L
