Death is an inevitable event that all of us will experience at one time or another before our own. We find it hard to find the right words to express our feelings or show how much we care. But remember, people don't always remember what you said to them or gave to them but they do remember how you made them feel. When you want to make them understand how much you care, a sympathy gift basket can make that statement without your having to say a word.
Oftentimes, the bereaved are overwhelmed with flowers, food, and condolences before and during a funeral. But when the flowers have died, the food has been eaten, and the friends have all gone home, a gift from you is like a hug that whispers "I'm still thinking of you!" So, even though you may send your condolences at the time of the funeral, don't forget to follow up with a sympathy gift a few weeks or even a month later.
The anniversary of the death of a loved one, a wedding anniversary, birthday, or any other special time that was spent together can be a particularly sad time for the one left behind. These are occasions to show how much you care--even if it's only a card reminding them that they are in your thoughts or an angel pin for those who are religious.
