Maudlin floral tributes

I get what you are saying, but they don't bother me - if it brings some people comfort to have a wreath like that, I don't see the harm in it. Personally speaking, I think it's a waste of money to have lots of flowers at a funeral anyway. One wreath or spray on the coffin itself would be adequate, I feel - but as you say, each to their own.

I am sure that this point of view will ruffle a few feathers but I am mystified by wreaths spelling someone" name or saying Mum or Dad are popular? The person in the coffin does not know, people attending the service know whom the dead - person is and passers`by are not interested!

Surely I am not alone in thinking that said wreaths are maudlin and, perhaps a trifle tacky?

A wreath or spray is so much more dignified. Each to their own, however.
