Alden Minnesota 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)

Mother's Day will never be the same now that I know about your website. I can send flowers from anywhere, since I'm on the road so much, and usually am around that time. I have three mothers to take care of, and my sister, who's a new mother.(Austin B. , Rome GA )

You know, I think most men send flowers when they've really screwed up with their women. It's a fact of life, I think. So it's a great service you're doing here, making ordering flowers so easy that even a man can do it. Yes, that's a joke. Seriously, I think you guys are great. Keep it up.(Debra V., Harlingen TX )

Your flowers are always so lovely. I had to ask my sister-in-law where she got the amazing florist specialties for a recent funeral. She’s been sending flowers and plants to everyone for a while now, and I’ve never thought to ask where they were from. The funeral did. She wasn’t even really a relative. It’s probably inappropriate for me to try and network for florists at a funeral, but that’s how lovely they were. You have a new customer.(Phoebe M. , Deltona FL )

Being stationed in Iraq, I literally have no actual contact with my wife and my family. Because of your website, I had the ability to get flowers over to everyone there. It helps remind them of me and why I'm here. (Steve J., [Location withheld] )

Alden Minnesota Business

 

I can't believe you have same day delivery. I've actually done it a couple of times and I still can't believe it. At lunch, I ordered a vase with red roses for my husband. And he got them while he was still at work. You people are incredible. Thank you!(Bev I., Newark OH )

I had screwed up every anniversary gift since we were married. Last year, I got my wife what she asked for... in the wrong size. That was a disaster. I thought flowers would be the safe choice this year. You know, nothing ostentatious or gaudy, just something small to say how much I appreciated being married to this wonderful woman. I'm very appreciative that your phone operator took the time to help me choose a bouquet. I didn't think it would get much of a reaction other than not letting me screw up another gift. But I got the warmest reception from a present that I ever got from her. I guess that wasn't too hard, since my other gifts really stunk it up, but I'm appreciative that you took the time to hold my hand through the process to get something really great. That's all I have to say.(Joey P. , Santa Rosa CA )
