How to contribute to sending flowers/condolences to Australia

We haven't actually sent flowers yet. Peachy's order didn't go through, so we're waiting to see if we can send them to the gravesite.

I was only able to find Kim's parents, both of whom I was able to confirm were cremated and are interred at Karrakatta.
Kerry sent flowers, right?

Yes, and they probably went to Karrakatta, but I think he's still waiting to get confirmation.
Verona:
OK, his maternal grandparents are either still living, or are not buried in Australia.

I arranged for flowers to be delivered through Interflora. I have since been in contact with Interflora and they have assured me that my flowers were delivered to Karrakatta "with many other floral tributes." It is my understanding (through another thread here at BetterMost) that a condolences book was set-up at Karrakatta and the details from the cards accompanying the floral tributes were written in the book. I am presuming this was done by the undertakers (funeral directors) engaged by the Ledger family. I have no knowledge what became of the flowers or cards themselves at this point of time. I'm still on the case, however, and am presently awaiting responses from Interflora and the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board (who administer both Karrakatta and Fremantle Cemeteries, among others), specifically asking them this question:
Did my floral tribute and card, addressed to Mr Kim Ledger & Family, which was delivered to Karrakatta Cemetery by Interflora on Saturday 9 February 2008, for the funeral of the Late Health Ledger, reach the intended addressee on the card; i.e., Mr Kim Ledger & Family? If not, kindly advise what became of my floral tribute and card? (my name and home address were recorded on the card by Interflora)
I will post the outcome as soon as I receive responses from Interflora and the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board.

The flowers did go to Karrakatta, which at least we now know was his final resting place. What became of the cards is anyone's guess... I'm hoping they were all given to the family (as I'm sure there were many heartfelt messages on the cards) as opposed to just a list of names.
