Cornell California Funeral Homes

 

As a society, we tend to send flowers out of feelings of guilt for not being in a place we would normally be. Before the advent of automobiles and airplanes, we wouldn't stray too far from home (except in a few cases), and so we didn't have a need for sending gifts through the mail, or the Internet, or using FTD, or some other wire service. But we are products of our times, and because even nuclear families are so far flung, and because husbands and wives often live and work on different continents from one another, we have this need to send gifts to one anther in lieu of being there. What we're acknowledging is that we usually do what we can to make compromises between how we would like to live and how we would like to be close to one another. It's apparently socially acceptable to be apart like this as long as we can send each other things that remind us of this emotional connection even though there's no physical connection. ROCK ON, BROTHER!!!(Rey V. , Nagoya , Japan)

My mother’s birthday was perfect thanks to your flowers. Her birthday is a real shindig around here, and lots of flowers come in from all over. It was real easy to tell who ordered from you and who didn’t. Just look for the most healthy looking flowers and there you are.(Rebecca A. , Kalamazoo MI )

Some genius put me in charge of the flowers for the funeral of one of my classmates. I don’t mean to sound like it wasn’t a big deal, but I was surprised at how easy it was to just choose something that looked good and have it delivered. And then it looked just as good when it arrived. Then I looked like the genius.(Norma B., High Point NC )

Your flowers have touched the lives of many people I know, and now they've touched the life of my son and daughter-in-law. They had their first baby a couple of weeks ago, and your flowers were delivered shortly afterwards. I hope you're ready because this grandma has a lot of occasions to celebrate in the coming weeks and years where my granddaughter is going to need flowers.(Elisa F., Brussels )

The way you handle orders is just amazing, and the delivery services you provide are equally amazing. I have been ordering from you for just over a year now for birthdays, get well cards & gifts, sympathy, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Not once have I ever found your services to be inadequate. Thanks for being there.(Iris W. , Flagstaff AZ )

I love your fruit basket gifts! I send them to everyone everywhere. Trust me, I've used those so-called fruit specialists and the quality is so uneven. I had to take more than a few calls from people who asked me to send them again because the fruit was actually rotten. Just a few months ago I had a friend who told me that the oranges she got were growing a fungus. But now that I use you people for sending my precious fruit gifts, I've had no such problems. What kind of service is that? Now I'm a wild woman with the fruit basket gifts. Try and stop me!(Dee U., Farmington NM )

We had a combination Christmas and Chanukka this year, so we had arrangements of blue and white flowers intermixed with arrangements of red and green flowers, just like our family. It was kind of strange, but everyone enjoyed the symbolism of it and it sparked a lot of intense and productive conversation. I'd like to thank you for making it possible.(Wendy R. , Concord CA )

This was the first time I used your website to order flowers, and I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed with it all. I'll definitely be using you again for all of my flower orders in the future. (Taylor I. , Yokohama , Japan)

I got your name off the card that my daughter-in-law sent with some flowers to my wife. Neither one of them would ever admit that they were becoming closer or that the glacier between them would thaw, but that's what's happening because the mother-in-law was so impressed with the quality of the flowers you sent that she thought it was a gesture of reconciliation. Whether it was or not, thanks for helping a family become a little closer.(Tony C. , Indio CA )
