Washington District of Columbia Funeral Homes

 

I decided to send flowers to myself on my birthday this year. It wasn’t exactly my idea of a perfect gift -- I would rather get flowers from someone else in my office, but that’s a different story. I’m so glad that I did because I almost forgot about them when they came. I was surprised at just how much the flowers brightened my day and lifted my mood.(Taylor A., Lafayette LA )

The flowers I sent to my son and daughter-in-law for a congratulations on purchasing a new house actually got there. I mistakenly sent them to the new house address without thinking about escrow and even move-in time. I couldn't be there in person because I'm overseas, so I had to suffer through a night of thinking, "what did I forget?" It didn't hit me until my son called to say they were very appreciative of the flowers I sent. It was then that I remembered giving the wrong address on the form, and I became more confused because they actually got delivered to the right place. I'm bursting with pride at my kids being able to afford houses and I'm also red in the face because I can't even figure out where they are now! Anyways, thanks for following up and being so persistent about the delivery.(Beryl I. , Middletown OH )

Washington District of Columbia Offices

 

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)

Hmmm. This is the third time this has happened. I got what I thought was a small, unobtrusive bouquet of flowers for my girlfriend. When they arrived, they were so spectacular that she thinks I’m now made of money. What kind of a corner did you paint me into? Seriously, there should be a warning.(Danny T., Green Bay WI )

Thank you so much for your professionalism and competence. I had exactly one day to send two dozen roses to a friend of mine who was shipping out for Iraq from San Diego. For some reason, the wire services were down -- or so I was told by two other flower delivery companies. I don’t know how you were able to get my order there in time, but you did. You weren’t my first choice, but you were definitely my final choice.(Alissa K. , Memphis TN )
