he loved his garden, dd is 3 and won't be at the funeral for obvious reasons. It is my FIL btw. Do you think they are over the top cheerful, I don't want to offend my SIL. Am widowed, so I can't get dh's opinion!

If anyone can suggest alternatives, please do

plus much nicer than a depressing cellophane bouquet or wreath..these will carry on living and look very pretty and cheery - perfect imo. Sympathies too, my FIL died a month ago, is v sad.

or would something like this be better www.iflorist.co.uk/p-1555-freesia-flower-basket.aspx

I've been told they will go to the local hospital as agreed. Sometimes they don't let them do they?

Both are beautiful, especially as they are from a child.

Sorry for your loss.

I think the first one is better - looks like a mini English country garden rather than arrange bouquet iykwim

That is lovely. There is nothing so sad as looking at rotting brown flowers all over a grave.

So sorry for your loss.

yes wasn't keen on the colour of 2nd ones, just the arrangement iyswim. That's done at least. Now I just need to figure out what to wear, think I shall be wearing the same suit as I wore to dh's sad but no top to fit. SIL is very prim, neat and proper and no good me turning up like a sack o spuds!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
