Dear Queenie,
A relative of mine died recently and a lot of people sent flowers to the funeral. One of the bouquets didn’t have a card with it so we don’t know who sent it.
Queenie, does this kind of thing happen often? Why do people do it? Is it bad manners to do it?—Funeral Flower Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
It can easily happen that the card is sent with a bouquet of flowers but gets lost before or even after the flowers are delivered. If you have any idea what florist delivered the flowers, you can ask them who sent the bouquet. Otherwise, a general “thank you” message for everyone who sent flowers should reach the ones who sent the “anonymous” bouquet.
