What’s Appropriate to Send For a Funeral?

It can be hard to know what to do when someone you know loses a loved one. Now, with the current situation and inability to hold public gatherings to recognize that loss, it may seem even more difficult to find a way to express your love and sympathy. However, there are many types of gifts that can be appropriate to send for a funeral or as a sympathy message.Ā  Here are some ideas that offer a way to show you care and are thinking of your friends, family members, neighbors or colleagues during this tough time: Contribution/Gift of Money It's always nice to make a contribution in the name of the deceased to an organization or charity that was important to them or their loved ones. Often, the family will share this information as part of the funeral arrangements. In certain situations where there is a sudden or unexpected loss, there may be a need to get financial assistance. Now, many people can start crowdfunding events like GoFundMe pages. If this is an option, you can post a comforting note and make a donation. Personalized Gifts Depending on how close you are to the deceased's family, it may be nice to send a framed photo or flip book of memories you had with that person and their loved ones. It can be a comfort and joy for when the family is ready to focus on those joyous moments.Ā  Food Gifts It may also be appropriate to send some type of food gift like a basket of food items or food delivery service. This can help when a family may be struggling to cope. Having pre-made food can ensure they still eat well. You may also want to drop off your own [...]
