This can be tricky at times but if your loved one happened to like sunflowers, there are plenty of ways you can include them in their services at funeral homes in Elmwood Park, IL.
If your loved one had a lot of sunflower clothing and you think they might want to be buried in something with sunflowers on it, you can choose the perfect outfit as a way to incorporate sunflowers into the service.

Your local florist should be able to help you figure out what ways you can use sunflowers in your flower arrangements.
