[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 246755, member: 3419"] Star, you've gotten some wonderful ideas here. You are always so comfortable just being yourself, I know you will say and do all the right things. Yes, I know how expensive flowers and obits are. I've pd for both ... spent an entire day paring down one obit for the NYT that started out at $5000 and we got it down to under $1000. :( The most beautiful casket sprays tend to come from corporations. (I walk around and read all the cards ...) so when there's a phenomenally huge one, it's generally done by the deceased person's employer or someone close to the company. I handled nearly every aspect of my cousin's funeral 4 yrs ago in NY ... and forgot flowers. Didn't buy a single one. I was so busy arranging for plane tickets, other things you don't want to know, it just skipped my mind. It will bother me forever. Silly, I know, but these are the things that count. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
