My husband says that any time someone dies, the funeral home puts a wreath on the front door of the deceased person's house. I have lost several people in my immediate family, and there was never a wreath on any of those front doors. Can someone please clarify this for me?

The hell with that. If you die your dead. Why spend money on you after your dead?
Reply:it would be a very nice funeral home to do this for everyone whom dies,but i dont know of any,if they did i guareentee they would make you pay for it.
Reply:I've never heard that before but then again I haven't been to many funerals. I would also add that maybe that was just that particular funeral home's policy or tradition or curtesy.
Reply:maybe its somting he believes should happen


just go along with it by saying okok


and sooner or later


he will shut up about it
Reply:maybe some folks do that, I haven't heard of it before, but different people's views on funeral traditions need to be heard, and agree or disagree, I beleive that there is no right or wrong on this.
Reply:I believe this is customary in certain cultures, but certainly not in this country. I believe the funeral home will oblige if you ask, but it is not expected.
Reply:There is an old custom to do this but I haven't heard of it being done in years.
Reply:I do not recall the Funeral Parlors doing that, however i have seen wreaths on the front door of houses of deceased, but that was when I was a young girl! I would call the Funeral Parlor and ask if that ever was a tradition. That should solve the issue! Good Luck
Reply:It's called a door basket, and it was a common occurrence in the South, the funeral home had them hung. Not as common now, you have to pay for your own, but it was a way to let you neighbors know your family had suffered a loss.
Reply:That's not true. Maybe the one his family uses, but most don't. If that's the case, we're missing several.
Reply:In the past before funeral homes they would put a wreath on the door when someone passed. They held the wake in the home and that let anyone know of a death in the family.
Reply:This is true in some religions but not true in all. Depending on the nationality and religion. It doesn't happen when everyone dies.
Reply:I have never heard of this one.
Reply:That is a traditional custom in the south. I think that is the only area where it is still practiced.
Reply:Person dead means already dead. What you put also same.
Reply:I have a friend from Germany, and that I believe is traditon in Europe.


It just depends.


i have seen it in the states too.


Police stations %26amp; business also.
Reply:I have not seen or heard of it done in my 50 + years.
