What can I give in lieu of flowers for my cousin's funeral

    I'd be glad to send flowers, but my cousin's brother who is handling everything owns a huge flower shop so it seems redundant. I thought of money but he is quite wealthy. I could donate to charity in her name. Any other ideas? I want to do more than just send a card.

    They are not witnesses, but almost all their relatives in my area are. Should be interesting to see how many, if any, will attend especially after that WT article a couple of weeks ago about church functions. Wonder if I will get in hot water.

    Sorry to hear of your loss.

    What about having a tree planted somewhere in their memory? If its in a public place you don't have to have a plate saying what it was planted for, it would be for you and anyone else you choose to let know.

    I am sorry for your loss, Bonnie.

    I would have suggested making a charity donation in your cousin's memory.

    Sorry to hear of your loss, Bonnie. One of my coworkers found an org. that would plant a tree in honor of a person. Don't have the link though.

    What was your cousin passionate about - find a nonprofit and make a donation in his/her name...

    Sorry for your loss.

    Good idea, TresHappy. In fact, I see that many obits have listed one or more organizations you could choose from for donating in their name.
