Cremation Service Gift Options
When a friend loses a loved one, and there are going to be cremation services in Manhasset, NY, you might want to show your sympathy and support to that person. One of the biggest, and nicest, things you can do is simply attend the services. If they are open to the public, or you are invited, it’s a nice way to let that person know you are there for them. Whether you knew their loved one a lot, a little, or not at all, being there for your friend is the goal in attending. You can, in addition to attending, or instead of attending, also send a gift of some kind. Here are some options to consider:
Food Items
Food is something everyone needs, and you want your friend to remember their own health, even when they are going through emotional upheaval right now. You could send some food to be used at the reception if they need that. Or you can send food to their home. Get something that can be placed in the freezer and pulled out longer or something that lasts for a long time so they can use it whenever they need it.
Flowers
Flowers are probably the most popular gift to send to a cremation service and there are many different types you could consider. If there’s a certain flower or color you know your friend likes, go with that. Some people also get a plant that can be taken home and enjoyed. It’s another nice way to remind your friend of both you and their loved one when they care for that plant. They last longer than flowers, too.
Card/Money
You can simply send a card to let your friend know you are thinking of them and that’s a very nice gesture. If you want to do more than that, but you aren’t sure what, you could also place some money in the card to be used to memorialize the person they lost. They could use it for the services or for a charity that person appreciated.
Basket Of Items
You know your friend well and you might want to send them a care package or basket of items that they would appreciate. You could include movies, novels, gift cards, bubble baths, fruit, granola bars, or other such things to brighten their day a little, put some thoughtfulness into the gift, and help you to remind them you are there.
