It%26#039;s more useful than flowers and there is usually plenty of family around to eat it.

Reply:I don%26#039;t send fruit. I send copies of the will so they can see if they hit the jackpot or got left behind. Cheers.
Reply:Actually in my family I have experienced people sending roasts, salads, barbecued chickens and briskets, rice, and deserts for sharing with the guests who go over to the house after the funeral.
Reply:It doesn%26#039;t have to be fruit, but it is often food.





When there is a death in the family, no one feels much like cooking, but the need to eat goes on.
Reply:You can send a basket of tampons, but who would want to eat that?
Reply:A grieving family would not want to have to cook. It%26#039;s much easier to have food already made; One less thing to worry about. It%26#039;s also nice to show you%26#039;re thinking of them at their time of need.





It%26#039;s not just fruit baskets. When my grandmother passed away, we received many different kinds of food, including canned goods, desserts, cakes; etc.
Reply:Becasue fruit is delicious.
Reply:Any food is good. When someone passes alot of family and friends come around, but the person is obviously too bereaved to cook or feed the guests. So, it%26#039;s nice to send things that around for people to eat or snack on so that the family has one less thing to worry about. When my grandfather died I remember people brought over casseroles and desserts and different things. Then everyone had plenty to eat but we didn%26#039;t have to worry about fixing things in our bereaved state.
Reply:I always got home made cakes!
Reply:Have you ever had a loved one die? I did, it was kind of nice to have food around, I didn%26#039;t really feel like cooking after I got the news
Reply:Ya know, that is a very good question. Maybe the pretty colors of the fruit is supposed to be cheerful?
