Is it ok to have flowers delivered to a grave?

My mom just passed away 4 months ago and today is her birthday. But I am studying abroad in another country and can't visit her grave. I was really wanting to put some fresh flowers on her grave. Would it be strange to call a flouriest and have them deliver flowers to her grave? And if so..then what if they ask what to put in the card? Or will it have a card? I just really want to do something special but am having a hard time thinking what to do while 14,000 miles away. Also, what could I do for my dad to make this day easier?

Is it ok to have flowers delivered to a grave?
if they'll deliver it and yah!thats sweet that even your far away you find a way to do something for your mom..By the way sorry to here that ..If it have a card then say 'From your loving son you will always be remember" or just say "i love you and miss you"...For your dad just let him know that your there for him,family have to stick togethere speciallly in moments like this ,you might not be there physically but your heart is.just let him know you care and that you love him too...
Reply:I don't feel it is necessary to put flowers on her grave. You can make the day more special by sending flowers to those people who loved her very much and may still be grieving (like your dad), in her memory. You will be celebrating her life with other people. On the card, you could include a memory of your mom, something like, remember the time she took us ice skating? Sharing memories of your mom together is the best way of honoring her on her birthday.
Reply:I work at a cemetery and yes we have had flowers delivered before, the florist will need to know what location in the cemetery your Mom`s grave is located but someone in the office should be able to help with that. I would send your Dad a special gift also. I lost my Dad in January and we took my Mom out to eat on Valentines Day and sent her some fresh flowers and I think it helped her alot on the first Valentine Day without my Dad. I am very sorry to hear about your Mom.
Reply:Most florists cannot do this for you, simply because it is SO difficult to find a specific gravesite in a cemetery. The only way it might work is if you can get the office at the cemetery to agree to accept the delivery and then have the flowers brought to the gravesite by someone from the cemetery. Another thought is to send the flowers to your dad, as this day is bound to be really hard for him. My sympathies to you both.
Reply:My condolences in your loss.It would be quite OK to have flowers sent to her grave site with a card saying In Memory ....and maybe a small bouquet also for Dad.You could ask the florist if they have gift cards for various services you could purchase also and send with the bouquet, which would be of some help or comfort to your Dad, letting him know you are thinking of him also. Many wire services offer many things like this now. My personal favorite is listed below.
Reply:Hi, we are a florist. It is not strange to deliver flowers to a grave. One of our customers does it every year, for the same reason you decribed (i.e., living too far away). The card message is "Happy Birthday..." We actually take a picture and email it to the customer.



It's best if you know the lot number. If not, your florist should be able to find it out for you.
Reply:Aww, I'm sorry to hear of your recent loss. I think it's a brilliant idea! Either that, or you could ask your Dad to put some flowers on her grave on your behalf. And I'm sure he'd appreciate a call from you on her birthday, just to say "Hi"
Reply:Firstly, sorry to hear about your mum's passing. It is never easy to go through that nor is it easy to come up with a "good idea". But do remember, even just thinking of them counts. Maybe, even though this may sound a bit weird, send the flowers to your dad to let him know you are thinking of him as well as your mum. As for your mum, it seems she'd already know that you are thinking of her and in your current situation, would understand why you haven't gone and put flowers on the grave. Send a nice card to your dad too, maybe include something special that you three shared through the years, such as a holiday and how much it meant to you. Once you think he has recieved it (not that'd you'd know for sure), give him a call and ask if he has recieved it. As for the actual original question, I am not sure if they even deliver to graves...but...maybe your dad will go see you mum's grave and do so on your behalf?
