When you want to send something to a memorial service, don't sent plants. Why you ask? Most people think if they send a plant the memory of the deceased lives on in that plant, but I have a different thought. If you send a plant and it dies, then you make the person in possession of the plant re-live the death of their loved one. Simple as that. Do not send plants. I remember my Mom trying to keep several plants alive after my step father died and when they died she was very sad. It seemed like she felt she had betrayed my step father by not keeping them alive. Maybe it was because as long as the plant lived, he lived. But when the plant died he was gone. So my thought is even though the loved one will re-live the life and death of the deceased many many times, why add to their grief when the plant just ups and dies. So...
Don't Send Plants
