What is an appropriate gift in this situation?

Question

My girlfriends best friend has just lost her fiance. They were both students in the medical field and slowly planning a wedding. He was only 27 and she even younger. I will be attending his funeral on my girlfriends be hath because they all used to hang out. Her best friend is not very found of me, however I still feel like we should do something special for her. I don't want to just send flowers to the funeral home. What would be best. I have a really great picture of them at one of the hockey games we went to together. Would it be bad if I had that picture inscribed into that glass looking acrylic as a necklace or maybe a key chain? I need your help.

I would not do that without talking to her first about it.

If he had any special charities, you could make a contribution on his behalf.

That's not a very good idea. You have no idea how she is going to react seeing her late fiance in a necklace or key chain. Chances are she is going to be a little shocked.

Stick with flowers, or if you are not the flower type, a donation to a charity that her late fiance supported. Make the donation in his name.

You may want to offer her the picture itself, though. In it's normal state. But do this several months after the funeral.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
