Sympathy baskets

Sympathy baskets for a family at home

Some florists make baskets with plants, snacks or both. Call and ask the florist you reach whether they offer them and what goes inside.

Muskogee Flowers is a free referral line. Your order is taken, arranged and delivered by an independent local florist.

A practical way to show you care

After a death, families in Muskogee often have a full house for days. Relatives drive in from Tulsa, Dallas or farther, and nobody has time to shop. That is why some people send a basket instead of, or along with, flowers.

Baskets vary a lot from shop to shop. Some are planters with a few green plants. Others are filled with fruit, crackers, cookies or coffee. We cannot promise what any florist carries, so ask on the call what they make and what is in it.

If they do not offer food baskets, a dish garden or plant is a good alternative that lasts. You can also ask about fruit baskets, since some shops make them year round.

Ideas

Think about the family

  • Allergies and diets

    If you know of any, mention them before ordering food.

  • Timing

    A basket that arrives a few days after the service, when the crowd leaves, can mean a lot.

  • A simple card

    Our sympathy message guide has short examples.
