I am sending a bouquet from our team.

Are white lilys and roses ok?

Sorry to ask but haven't done this before and don't want to make a mistake.

If you phone Interflora they will have a range of different bouquets that are suitable for bereavement. They are also online so you can have a look at them if you want.

Yeah I have had a look and thought the lilys and roses looked nice.

Next question- should I send it to her, or her, DH and DS?

My mum received a potted white rose from her colleagues when we lost my grandad, it was really lovely and she now has it in her garden. It was from Interflora, maybe something worth considering?

Oooh good idea about the rose she can plant.

Just spoke to other colleague and she said send it to all of them.

Wow these things are trickier than first imagined.

Thanks for your advice everyone.
