Floral Arrangement Titled “Rest in Peace” | Death

A young business owner was opening a new branch office, and a friend decided to send a floral arrangement for the grand opening. When the friend arrived at the opening, he was appalled to find that his wreath bore the inscription: “Rest in peace.” Angry, he complained to the florist. After apologizing, the florist said, “Look at it this way-somewhere a man was buried under a wreath today that said, ‘Good luck in your new location.’” (Bits & Pieces, June 23, 1994, p. 4).
