The loss of a friend or co-worker is difficult and, in many
cases, grievous. The family and staff of Viviano's understand
your need to express your sorrow, sympathy and condolences in
a beautiful and meaningful way. Our professional sales staff
can assist you in choosing a floral tribute that says everything
your heart is feeling.
While the casket spray, side pieces, hearts and crosses are
reserved for the family, there are many appropriate arrangements
for a friend or co-worker to give.

| Traditional Tribute |
|
This perennially popular style is a fan-shaped
one-sided arrangement that can be placed in an
urn or basket. This piece usually gives the most
presentation in the funeral home because all the
flowers are brought to the front and artfully
arranged. It is also a versatile arrangement as
it can be easily adapted using seasonal flowers
or colors. Normally a card is enclosed with this
arrangement, but for a very special friend, a
script ribbon may be added. In this case, the
ribbon might say, "Loving Friend" or
"Dearest Friend."

| Table Arrangement |
| A table arrangement can also be sent to the funeral
home. Table arrangements can be arranged in many
different ways including a vase, basket or other
specialty container. These beautiful arrangements
generally offer a smaller presentation than many
traditional tributes, but they have an important
benefit: because of their size and arrangement,
the family has the option of taking this arrangement
home with them to enjoy further. |

| Gifts From the Greenhouse |
| Another thoughtful and long-lasting tribute is
a dishgarden, terrarium or blooming plant. A dishgarden
is a basket or ceramic container of assorted green
plants with lovely fresh cut flowers added for color.
Terrariums are variations of the dishgarden. Instead
of a basket or ceramic container, the plants are
attractively enclosed in glass. These lovely gifts
from the greenhouse can be put together in many
different ways. Depending on the size you choose,
you may also want to include a blooming plant in
your dishgarden or terrarium. Blooming plants by
themselves also make beautiful and long-lasting
tributes. They can be a seasonal favorite and decorated
with foil and a bow or placed in a basket. These
gifts from the greenhouse have the benefit of being
enjoyed for a long time after the funeral. |

| Statues and Figurines |
|
You may also want to consider giving a religious
statue or garden statue as a tribute. Viviano's
offer many sizes that can be added to floral arrangements
or dishgardens. Depending on their size and your
preference, these statues can either be the focal
point of the arrangement or an accent to it. These
sentimental additions to your floral gift make
cherished keepsakes for a family member.
A similar option is the Continental Creation.
This unique and thoughtful gift is an angel or
religious statue enclosed in a glass case with
arrangements of silk flowers surrounding them.
Continental creations last forever, as they contain
no living plants or flowers.
