Funerals
Planning a funeral for a loved one is a very difficult task. There is so much to consider and you want the experience to be one of respect and dignity. People have different ways of handling the occasion. Some funerals are very solemn and traditional while others are more of a celebration of life. I remember years ago when I was working in the financial industry and living in New Orleans, the famous restaurateur, Ruth Fertel and founder of the Ruth Chris Steakhouse, held a lavish party in 1999 at her grave-site. This party, by some reports, cost $500,000. She passed away in 2002 after a long bout with cancer. What ever your funeral theme, the professionals at Penny’s By Plaza Flowers will prepare the most elegant floral arrangement for your loved one’s funeral.

Funeral Visitation
The visitation is a critical part of most funeral events. Most commonly, the body of the deceased is on display one or two evenings prior to the actual funeral. Years ago it was considered proper to place the casket bearing the deceased in their home or that of a relative. Today, it is more commonly acceptable to have the viewing at a formal funeral home. Though in some parts of the world like Ireland and Scotland the body is still placed in the home for casket viewing.
Loved ones are sometimes dressed to reflect how they lead their life or often in their finest dress clothes. Penny’s By Plaza Flowers knows how meaningful it is at this time to surround the viewing with beauty and dignity. Our funeral flowers prepared by our talented designers are of the most elegant and tasteful to be found. We would be honored to provide a floral arrangement to meet your need.

Funeral Receptions
Funeral receptions are full of kindness and genuine respect and concern for the family. Often these events are filled with good food, large numbers of friends and relatives and the quiet loving conversations of memories about the departed. It is a time of closure when hugs and tenderness are the most needed human interaction. Small children sometimes play with no grasp for the solemness of the occasion. That in itself restores the soul to one of the full understanding of the circle of life. There are common things you may bring to a funeral reception. Some of those are a heartfelt single flower, Sympathy Bouquet, Sympathy Card or Food. Penny’s By Plaza Flowers has very tasteful and classy Funeral Gift Food Baskets. Please visit us and let us help you select the most appropriate basket for your gift of love.
