So my beloved mum was cremated on Friday it was tough with just being able for immediate family to attend but we got through it . We had a lovely collection of flowers and went to view them yesterday I was going to make some sprays with my dad . However when we arrived all the wreaths had been stolen we spoke to a member of staff who said he seen them in the morning but they’d vanished i was so upset . We searched the cemetery to no avail how on Earth could someone steal from the deceased they are the evils of the earth
This happened in London please be aware this happens all the time maybe they sell them

I am so sorry you had this dreadful experience, my condolences also on your loss. My husbands funeral was a few weeks ago, and rather than leave the flowers at the Crematorium, we brought them home. Small comfort I know, thinking of you and wishing you well.

I was thinking about taking them home but thought I’d leave them until yesterday in case any family or friends wanted to pass by . I just can’t get my head around the fact that a low life just helped theirselves it’s evil
I’d say to anyone now take them home

Thank you Apple, as you say there are some evil people about, but you know they wont profit by it, what goes around comes around. Your mum will now be at peace, and you have many happy memories to recall in time.
