Is it inappropriate to send flower to friend, her grandma died.?

i have a friend and we have been friends for around 20 years or so. Well this morning her grandmother died and tomorrow night is the funeral home visitation. I am planning on going but I also want to send flowers. Would it be okay to just send flowers to my friend [which is what I really want to do] or would that be considered inapropriate? Thanks so much

You being there for a friend will last much, much longer than flowers. If you do one or the other, please go to the visitation/funeral. If you do both, that%26#039;s nice too.





When my grandmother passed, I was a wreck. My longtime friend decided that the funeral home was %26quot;too far%26quot; and didn%26#039;t go to the visitation and didn%26#039;t send flowers or a card. While we%26#039;re still friends, I still remember that 8 years later.





Trust me, it%26#039;s better for you to be there.
Reply:I would have them sent directly to her house so she knows you are thinking of her. There will be so many plants and flowers at the visitation and funeral that yours will get lost in the mix. Since it is her grandma that passed there are all kinds of other relatives there. Sending it to her directly is alot more personal and shows you are thinking of her and her loss and not just lumping her in with numerous other relatives.
Reply:No just to your friend would be fine.
Reply:I would go the visitation and funeral, then after a few days have some flowers sent to her, either at her home or work. Better yet, take her out to lunch or dinner. Just let her know that you are thinking about her. You sound like a good friend.
Reply:When my sister died, my friends at work got me the most beautiful huge bowl planted with an array of different green plants which lasted for 10 years. I loved it and thought of my sister every time I looked at it but I also thought of my friends kindness......The answer is send it to your friend..It%26#039;s quite appropriate and will be well received....
Reply:Yes you should it shows you are thinking of her
Reply:not at all, i would sent a bunch of flowers for the funeral and a sympathy card for your friend, don%26#039;t be offended if she doesn%26#039;t read it, because when my grandad died i could not bear to open any cards, but when i eventually did it helped me knowing how many people cared. the most helpful thing you can do is be there for your friend and go to the funeral with her, she might turn down your help, but you still need to be there for her, i just wanted to be alone, but now I%26#039;m glad people was there to support me, also, doing things like making her a casserole or looking after her kids or doing shopping will help loads, because when your grieving it%26#039;s so hard to get out of bed let alone get on with life.
Reply:It depends on her cultural and yours. Like, in my culture, that would be totally inappropriate. But maybe it%26#039;s different in your culture. But you must go to the funeral visitation, that%26#039;s the most important thing in my point of view.


I%26#039;m sorry about your friend%26#039;s loss.
Reply:It is a nice gesture to send flowers, but first look at the obituary. Sometimes it says %26quot;in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to . . .%26quot; Then you could send a donation in that person%26#039;s name to the charitable organization they list. Then either you can send your friend a card and say, %26quot;I sent a donation to (name of organization) in your grandmother%26#039;s name%26quot; or most organizations will actually send a letter to your friend saying you sent the donation in their loved one%26#039;s name. You can call the organization and ask if they do that.





Also, certain religions have certain traditions. For example:





If they%26#039;re Jewish, the tradition is that instead of sending flowers, you bring something sweet to eat to the shiva to take away the bitterness of the sorrow.





If they%26#039;re Catholic, you can stop by the church and request a Mass card for the person.





UPDATE: Thanks for the additional detail to your question. I would say if you don%26#039;t know her family, then sending it just to your friend is certainly appropriate. But, if you know the family very well (e.g. have been over to their house for dinner numerous times) then send it to the family. But, it sounds like you%26#039;re leaning towards sending it just to your friend. That is perfectly acceptable.
