Melrose Iowa Funeral Homes

 

Though I am far away from my friends, it's nice to know that I can let them know I am thinking about them in a time of sadness and loss. Flowers are so much more tactile and have more substance than cards or electronic messages, like they are stand-ins for you. It's something they can move around and focus on in order to get the kind of feeling that I hope I would provide were I there. I'm glad that you can help me express my sympathy for the family in this way and that I can do it much more easily than if I were to go there myself. That sounds horrible, I suppose, but my feeling is that it does no one any good if I were to go there for just a gesture when I can send something in my stead. (Jenny K., Escuintla )

Thanks for your patience. I should have known that everything would be OK. I absolutely told my mother to call the SECOND she received the mystery gift from me, so I was concerned that I hadn't heard from her all day. I apologize for calling to bother you so often. It turned out that she was so impressed by the flowers themselves that she FORGOT to call her only daughter who actually sent it to her. Everything's fine. Thanks for being YOU.(Nicole U. , Morristown TN )

Every year I have had a problem with the centerpiece to the Thanksgiving table. Well, problem no longer, because the centerpiece was right there on your website waiting for me to order it. I loved it when I saw it, and so did my guests when they arrived. You seem to have a sixth sense about Thanksgiving, because it was entirely appropriate.(Jaqueline W. , Vacaville CA )

My mother-in-law sent me some Mothers Roses, one of your flower bouquets, to celebrate the arrival of her new grandson. I would just like to thank all concerned.(Estefani Ortega, Scottsdale AZ )

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)

What a pleasant surprise to receive flowers from such a reputable company. Normally, I wouldn't take notice of the delivery company that gave me flowers. I would usually only notice who sent them to me. But I've been a customer of yours for many months now, and I am very happy with all the deliveries you've made for me. And now I have someone who thinks like me, and thinks very highly of me, too. Because they cared enough to send me flowers from the best in the business, as far as I'm concerned.(Kiersten I. , State College PA )

I love the idea of the vineyard basket! My cousin lives near Napa Valley, so what am I going to do, send her wine? The basket has all the other stuff that goes with wine, and very good stuff I might add. Even the basket itself is lovely.(Holly M., Rock Hill SC )

I never know what to say to people when I give sympathy gifts, like if someone is sick or in the hospital or facing the loss of a loved one. Thanks to your tremendous quality flowers, I don’t have to worry about it.(Gigi I., Saginaw MI )

I don’t know if you know how hard it is to find a consistently good florist. Back in the 1980s, there was a flower delivery service associated with a department store that has since been swallowed up by a larger company. I think that flower delivery company was the only one that could match yours in terms of quality, price, and promptness. Of course, they’re gone now, but you’re still here. Kudos on your ability to maintain high standards in such a low standard world.(Margaret O., Lafayette IN )
