In lieu of flowers?

please donate to some "priest fund". Is it inappropriate to send a fruit basket from edible arrangements to the house?

In lieu of flowers?
Queen Bee... just because they ask you to donate to some fund does not mean that you have to. You can make a donation to any fund you want in the deceased person's name (to an animal shelter or the like). I have never heard of sending edible arrangements to the house after a funeral. It could go either way and make the loved ones really happy. Or you could really shoot yourself in the foot if you are sending it to coincide with the food being served after the funeral. Then I would say do not do it. You might be accused of trying to garner attention to yourself by sending something so unusual. Don't get me wrong-I know what you are referring to and I think they are great but you may want to weigh your other options.
Reply:I donate to the library. The library dedicates the book to the person with a dedication placed at the beginning of the book.





This dedication goes on, and on, in remembrance of the person. Flowers wilt. The book is a remembrance.
Reply:People get so much food when a loved one dies. Who can eat that much ham? As it was stated before you can donate to any organization you see fit. Just make sure that the check says in who's memory you are giving. You might want to give them the family of the deceased information so they can send a note to them making them aware of your gift.
Reply:No, it's a nice and thoughtful thing to do.
Reply:No, priests need their vitamin C too! I'd say it's even better than sending a bunch of useless flowers.
