I always thought that was a nice idea also till mom was in a nursing home. The residents, whenever they saw flowers, would ask who died and then they got really sad.
Nursing homes in my area don't care for funeral flowers for that reason too.piney
It's done in this area too ... though the homes take the bouquets apart, and just put them in vases as cut flowers. This way they can most always have fresh flowers out and about ... for free!!!
