So then, here is a vase of about ten flowers. The back story is that some folks asked us if we could supply them with one flower apiece to take to a cremation. They could have gone to a florist but asked us. What an honour. The reason for that was that the family requested specifically that folks bring a single, unwrapped flower to lay on the wicker casket. We went to the lottie and tried to think of just two appropriate flowers to bring. We could not decide; so we picked ten, the rational for that was that we could give the people a choice…and what was left they could keep and use in their own vase for a few days. They chose a Daisy and the Thalictrum and were chuffed.
That is an honour Sjoerd. And how you handled it was very thoughtful. It gave them a personal connection to their choice in their farewell. Very sweet of you both.
