Please send me real answers. These flowers aren't for the funeral, they are going to the mother of the deceased!

Personally, I prefer to send a small green plant versus an arrangement of flowers. The plant will last longer, and can be kept in a spot where the recipient will see it.
Talking to a florist can help - there are some lovely plants out there, and they can add one or two cut flowers for some color, if you like.

If the person is a co-worker( not necessarily friend)Send a
mixed planter(a container holding a variety of tropical and flowering plants) It makes a nice living remembrance.

I would send something cheery and small. Like a "thinking of you" or "condolences" arrangement. Call FTD flowers, proflowers (online), etc. and see what they have. Stick within your budget and don't forget to send your sincerest condolences on the card.

Try 1-800 flowers...www.1800flowers.com....you will see a section for condolences. Try a nice plant that will last so much longer than flowers...or go for a nice basket of daises.

It is proper and elegant that sympathy flowers are white and green. White lillies for example.
They can be red and white also, but more for funerals.
