Funeral Balloon Ideas?

[Finito]

Good morning, gang! So as it would turn out I'm doing a funeral tomorrow - last moment - and I was wondering if anyone had any unique suggestions for balloon arrangements... The gentleman was quite a character and, from what I understand, his will stipulates that clowns be present during the service.

If anyone has any ideas, please pass them along!

Have you ever made the balloon beer mug? (I think in your email you said he owned a pub, right?)

If people didn't want a balloon hat you could make a large braided wreath and after making the flowers just slide them into the braid. That way you would be able to give the ladies or anyone an individual flower to keep, without it being in the way and people having trouble seeing during the service.

Wow, that is a tricky job to do. I suggest that you prepare yourself for everything/anything. I don't think that I could clown at a funeral. I would be paranoid that it was someone's idea of a bad a practical joke unless I knew the family well. I hope that it goes well.

Wow... I've heard of celebrating the person's life at their funeral, but clowns? That's a first to me. I like the suggestion of making a balloon wreath to place on the coffin instead of flowers. Or making a pretty flower bouquet in a vase. Would you actually be twisting for the people at the funeral??

Oh, I just realized the date on this... so the funeral would have been this past week. Well, post an update & tell us what you did?

It went well... I wasn't given any direction and it was more along the lines of a "personal appearance" than a job... I think they just wanted clowns present at the service for affect.
