We are approaching Memorial Day, a wonderful time of remembering those who have fallen and have paid a sacrifice for our freedom. This is also an opportunity to think about how to send sympathy or funeral flowers to those in mourning. A gorgeous bouquet of flowers sent to the home of the grieving family or funeral flowers that are delivered directly to the church or funeral home for the ceremony are always an appropriate option. The floral experts at Ah Sam Florist have beautiful options for honoring loved ones who have passed away recently. Read More about Sending Sympathy Flowers »
Memorial Day is a time to honor and acknowledge the brave sacrifice so many of our men and women made in service to country. To that end, we come together at parades and ceremonies to remember their courage. We also think of the three-day weekend as a time to celebrate the arrival of summer, which is just around the corner. This is a time when friends and family are together, often outdoors, enjoying potlucks, barbecues and---if we're lucky---the pool. Ah Sam Flowers recognizes that the flowers we exchange or use to decorate with at this time have a couple of different functions; they must speak to the poignancy of the occasion at hand, but also capture the festive, social spirit.
