Yes that’s right, if you’re planning your death, or know you’ll be kicking the big one soon, I suggest waiting a good three to four days after Valentines day. No, not so you can spend your last days with your special loved ones, but to save them from the true heartache of having to cough up bookoo bucks for sympathy flowers.
Any day of the week (not in the month of feburary) your standard dozen roses in a non-extravagent vase will run you anywhere from 15-20 dollars. As we all know, once that most dreaded of “holidays” (and i use the word lightly) rolls around you can expect to shell out 60 bucks minimum for these most beautiful and short lived tokens of affection. So, after thinking this over for a while I wondered if one could cheat the system and possibly play on the sympathy of the florists. Would they give me a discount if they thought that said flowers were to mourn the loss of a loved one, and not because I have a wife at home that expects to be showered with gifts on this day. (no, there is no wife at home)

Personally I have no intentions buying flowers for anyone, but if I was I’d give it a shot.
