When someone dies, there are many alternatives to sending flowers to express your condolences. Here are some ideas:
- Donate to a meaningful charity in honor of the deceased.
- Give a self-care basket, such as a spa gift card or aromatherapy gift basket.
- Put together a photo album or scrapbook of memories of the deceased.
- Offer to help with chores, such as mowing the lawn or checking the mail.
- Send a handwritten sympathy card expressing your condolences and offering support.
- Give a gift of comfort, such as a soft blanket or weighted blanket.
- Send a gift of food, but be thoughtful about how and when you bring it.
- Donate a memorial book to a library.
- Give a gift card for a meal delivery service or restaurant.
- Send a condolence gift basket filled with dried fruit and nuts or fresh fruit.
Remember, its important to be thoughtful and considerate when choosing what to send instead of flowers. Consider the needs and preferences of the family and the deceased, and choose a gift that will bring comfort and support during this difficult time.
