A remembrance of flowers express the spirit of the heart often so hard •to put into words. Flowers convey a respect to the departed and an expression of caring to the bereaved. During the time of deep sorrow, flowers become the visible expression of sympathy and love, adding a background of warmth and beauty to the funeral setting. Flowers, like the divine words of scripture, speak of life and love which are eternal. They soften the sad picture of death and add their fragrance and beauty to cheer the bereaved. Though fleeting in physical life. the beauty of flowers live on in memory and are often considered a symbol of eternity. When ordering flowers, be specific about the type you want and the expense. It is an added courtesy to request that your full name and address be written on the back of the presenta- tion card to help the bereaved when the acknowledgment cords ore sent to you.
