About

Most people want to do something and worry about getting it wrong. Food is one of the few things that reliably helps — and a box that keeps for two weeks asks nothing of them. No vase, no water, no reply expected. Posted on DPD next-day tracked delivery , with a short message written on a card inside. When you don't know what to say Most people want to do something and worry about getting it wrong. Food is one of the few things that reliably helps — in the weeks after a loss, ordinary things like eating tend to be the first to go, and there are usually people in the house who need feeding. A box that keeps for two weeks asks nothing of them. No vase, no water, no reply expected. It sits in the kitchen and gets picked at when someone remembers they haven't eaten. Sending one thoughtfully Keep the message short. "Thinking of you" does more than a paragraph, and nobody in that week wants to compose a reply. There's no rush either. The fortnight after a funeral is often quieter and lonelier than the week of it, and our boxes keep for two weeks — so a parcel arriving once everyone else has gone home is frequently the more useful one.
