Why Sympathy Gift Boxes Are a Better Choice Than Flowers in a Tough Economy

Discover how sympathy gift boxes provide lasting comfort and value compared to fleeting floral arrangements.

In this strained economy the price of everything has gone up, including flowers. Let's be honest, flowers are always a costly choice and sadly, they have a very short life. As funeral professionals we often see expensive floral arrangements discarded as soon as a service ends. This means that the hard-earned money you spent ended up in a dumpster after the service. If they are not thrown out, they are placed at an interment site but fall victim to weather, lawn equipment and eventually are discarded. In many cemeteries and mausoleums glass vases are prohibited as the glass is a safety concern. We started Condolences Direct to offer a better and less expensive opportunity to express sympathy.

Our gift boxes offer a variety of choices. You can select a box that is ready to go or customize your own. We understand that you know the family and what you would like to convey in your sympathy offering. Unlike flowers, our gift boxes and baskets last long after the flowers are a forgotten memory. We offer items that will give comfort long beyond flowers. I know in our years of funeral service we have seen angry family members when flowers are delivered late, substandard quality or not delivered at all. With our gift boxes and baskets you can decide when, where, and how you want to ship and have your selection delivered. We strive to ship orders same day when possible or the following day. If you want to delay shipment you can. We are flexible. Give a gift of sympathy and condolence that keeps on giving and won't cost you as much as floral arrangements.
