Hellobee Boards

I recently sent a family a basket from Wolfermans--flavored butters and English muffins. I included a note that we hoped they could enjoy a quiet family breakfast together and share happy memories of their loved one.

ETA: another idea is a flowering bush--delivered to her home. A beautiful gift she can enjoy each year as it blooms.

I used to suggest food, but now that I deal with an allergy and DH is diabetic, I'd only send food if you're aware of dietary restrictions or lack thereof.

Something that's not often thought of that can be helpful is disposable dishes/cutlery so they don't have to do dishes.

We've sent Harry and David fruit baskets.

Will they be hosting people back at the house after the service? If so, I'd call a local supermarket to send a deli tray and rolls.

@looch: I like this idea because picking up/arranging food for after the ceremony is always a headache!
