Sympathy Gift Baskets

Reach Out to Show Your Care and Concern

A gourmet gift basket, full of enticing sweet and savory fare, is a popular way to extend condolences to a family that has experienced a loss. A gourmet basket including a generous assortment of cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, nuts, and some sweet treats or bakery items can be a really thoughtful gesture. Send a food gift to show your care and concern.

Send a Thoughtful Sympathy Gift to the Home

Some people like to send a deluxe basket of sweets and savories right to the recipient's home. Having a generous assortment of ready-to-eat food on hand can be nice for the family so they have something convenient to offer any visitors. In addition, the beautiful and enticing treats can tempt the appetite of those who are grieving and perhaps finding it difficult to sit down to a meal.

Gift Basket Delivery to the Funeral Home

If you know the funeral arrangements, many grieving families really appreciate a gift of food delivered right to the funeral home so that they have some snacks to sustain them during their time there. That said, we do not recommend this option if it's a particularly large funeral home as, in our experience, the delivery often gets overlooked by the staff. In addition, the window for a timely delivery is quite narrow. If you really want to provide nourishment to the family at the funeral home, we recommend either delivering the gift in person or sending the gift to a friend or family member who could bring it directly to the family room at the funeral home.

For Colleagues, Co-Workers, and Business Partners

When it comes to sending a bereavement gift to someone in your professional life, you can either send it to their home or to their office. If you choose to send a gourmet gift basket to their office to show your support, you may want to check to see when they'll be returning after any bereavement leave so that the gift is fresh and timely for their return to work.
