If your parent died in a nursing home could you answer a few questions for me please?

Mums care home wouldn't allow individual gifts for carers.

We didnt have a funeral route as such, but the home was conveniently close to the crem and some residents and carers came to the service.

No flowers other than one wreath for the coffin, and I have no idea what happened to that.

As by the time mum died her house had been sold.
The funeral started from the carpark.
Herse and 2 family cars.
4 staff came to the service.
We only had one very large wreath and at the end of the service
we asked if everyone in attendance wanted a flower to remember mum.
The rest went in the memorial garden.
I sent a hamper of nice teas/coffees and some juices.

My dad died in a care home at the start of Covid. Rather than donations to a charity (instead of flowers) people made donations to a fund for the Carehome garden which my dad really enjoyed. We raised about £300 and they bought a water feature and bird boxes.
i sent the 3 special carers individual gifts to remember my dad by plus a thank you card to the Carehome and sweets and biscuits for the staff room. As we only had one bit floral arrangement I put that in my mums grave.

Re arranging gifts for her and your favourites. Perhaps email the care home to give them a heads up, then drop a bag containing said gifts into the office. I would get a general thank you all card and chocolates as well. Sorry to hear about your Mum, it's a tough time.

I sent the care team where dad was some lovely flowers, a card and after the funeral they had the one big spray of flowers to put in their rose garden.

I also sent a thank you email to the manager for all the care dad received and the kindness of his care team, they were truly so good to dad all the two years he was in there.

Hi my mum died in a nursing home, she’d only been there six months but they had a big turn over of staff do I only knew a handful of staff.
I took individual boxes of chocolates in a few days after she passed, I asked if they could be shared between day and night staff.
My mum had a direct cremation, then her ashes were buried in the family grave we left the flowers there.

I would absolutely thank you and your Mum's favourites individually. They will have brightened her day, having them attend to her rather than someone else and should be complimented for this.

I'm sorry to hear about your mum.

My mother was in a care home a very long time and died recently. I gave the carers gifts every year at Easter and Christmas - not to individual carers as that seemed unfair, they were always 'for all the staff'. After she died I sent a thank you card, again for all staff.

She had a direct cremation and I told them the time and date so they could think of her. You could ask if the care home if they would like the flowers but I wonder if it might seem a bit morbid in that setting if they are obviously funereal (if you see what I mean). It's worth asking.

Why don’t you ask the nursing home for details of the carers names so the gift will reach them?
