Letter: Saying it with flowers

Published 3 April 2004

From Steve Goodall

Your information about Interflora not doing AM or PM deliveries except for funeral orders is doubly unfortunate for the company (Feedback, 13 March). In a hospital setting AM and PM refer to “ante mortem” and “post mortem”. So a funeral order that was delivered AM may well not be viewed favourably by the recipient.
