Your sil's mother has passed away. Do you send a floral arrangement? Just a card? There was no service - she died in Florida. I'm close with SIL but I'm asking because dh is UE and I re think every expenditure. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

A card with personal sentiments will do. Funeral flowers are so expensive, and they're so temporary. [ Reply | More

I would send food to the house during shiva or after the wake. Maybe a mass card, if catholic. Not just flowers if you are close. [ Reply | More

If that is the case, then write her a heartfelt note. She can open and read it if she feels up to it--so it's not intrusive and it's a tough thing to do and she will understand and appreciate that. [ Reply | More

My mom recently passed away. The most thoughtful things were handwritten cards from friends/family - I was shocked how few of my friends did this. Tell them a few small things you remember and that they are in your prayers. Send it soon, not in two months. Best. BY THE WAY, I was really saddened that my sisterinlaw did NOT attend my moms funeral bc she wasnt sure what to do with ehr toddler..if there is any kind of service, family should be there.
