Funeral Flowers Can Bring Comfort and Peace

With Memorial Day approaching, we turn our thoughts to those of sympathy or funeral flowers. When we find ourselves with the occasion of sending flowers to a grieving family, it’s important to know what to send and where to send them. Funeral flowers and sprays are an excellent choice for sending directly to the house of worship, funeral home or graveside for the service itself. Sympathy flowers, on the other hand, are better sent directly to the home of the family that is in mourning. The floral artisans at VanderSalm's Flowershop & Garden Center have created some amazing funeral flowers that can bring comfort and peace during such a difficult time.  Read More about Funeral Flowers Can Bring Comfort and Peace »
