Do I Need To Tell My Florist About the Funeral Details for the Flowers?
Today’s funeral FAQ is “do I need to tell my florist about the funeral details for the flowers?” And the answer on two scenarios is, No, you don’t.
If you ask me to order the flowers from the florist for you, I will pass on the details so you don’t need to. If, on the other hand, you want to go to the florist and touch and feel flowers and select the tribute for your loved one, then all you need to do is tell them the name of the deceased, which you will anyway.
And you need to tell them that I’m handling the funeral arrangements and the florist will contact me and make sure that they are delivered, when they need to be. Where they need to be, in time for the funeral.

What people would like to happen at their own funerals
by Rebecca Welham
How would you like your life to be commemorated? A recent survey suggests that, while some traditional funeral elements remain evergreen choices, some contemporary ideas are gaining definite ground among those thinking about their own funerals.Â
With the average funeral in the UK now costing just under £5,000, it’s very common to have concerns about how you can ensure that your estate will be able to cover the costs of your funeral, or how to manage the costs if you have to arrange a funeral for a loved one. We guide you through the different options to ensure the costs of your funeral will be covered, as well as ways to create a fitting tribute to your loved one without breaking the bank.
