Flower Delivery Oops...

Cell phone rings on my desk at work....

Me: Hello?

Florist: Hello Ms. Cline, this is Teleflora calling about the flower delivery you placed.

Me: Yes?

Florist: Well we wanted to let you know that the delivery was, uhhm, rejected. The funeral home had no record of that person being, uhh... deceased.

Me: Oh. Well, uhhh, I had the delivery sent to the living recipient of the flowers. Cause, you know, I didn't want to send flowers to someone who had, uhh, passed away, since they wouldn't be able to actually receive them.

Florist: We can have the flowers re-delivered...what's the deceased person's name?

Me: Um, yeah....I'm not really sure. Can you just have the flowers re-delivered, and just, you know, tell the funeral home to give them to the living person and not the deceased?

Florist: Uh, yeah, sure, we'll do that.

...If that wasn't the most awkward phone call...lol
