Have you ever smelt flowers when someone in your family has passed away?

Question

I have had many experiences where a loved one has died, and my house begins to reek of roses and flowers.

Answer 1

I have not smelt flowers....but have smelt perfume, cigar, tobacco pipe. I was told when you are in need of reassurance is when "they" will be around. That is their way of letting you know they are there for you.

Answer 2

I can't say I have - but I have smelled the flowers at the funeral. Like, bent down to smell them. Some people think that's odd. I do not.

Answer 3

Being that most of my family has passed away by now I have the smell of roses in my house. =)

Answer 4

no never has happened to me. since the death of my father about 12 years ago and all the fresh flowers, can't stand the smell anymore of fresh flowers. reminds me too much of death/funerals and don't have any in the house. i only have fake.
