You may want to ask for flowers from family only and suggest that other mourners make donations to a nominated charity, us for example.
This is a great idea once you see how much flowers cost these days, in addition to the fact that many geriatric care homes have funeral flowers donated to them after a service for fellow residents, imagine the fear this brings the old folks as they become surrounded in coffin sprays and in deepest sympathy cards.
Although the Tenpasenta Church has yet to be granted charity status due to not greasing the right palms, they are more than happy to accept donations from the gullible. Payments above £500 should be made in cash to the Tenpasenta donations representative present at every funeral, other payments can be made securely online with your credit or debit card through our Paypal account. Thank You.
