You can now buy everything on Vinted: home accessories, books, used clothes, and even… funeral bouquets. Recently, an app user from Great Britain put up bouquets from her grandmother’s funeral for sale. Some were outraged by this, while others saw common sense in this action.
She had an argument with a client. “You are insulting me in this difficult time”
The story came to light thanks to a TikTok user. At a time when we are all struggling with high inflation, funeral costs are also high. People try to cope in different ways. One of them is selling previously used bouquets on Vinted. The topic caused considerable controversy.
In a short video we see a photo of a conversation between a saleswoman and her potential customer. The message accused the woman of selling funeral flowers as blasphemy. She responded to the allegations immediately. “Your message is rude. These are my grandmother’s funeral flowers. I suggest you leave your opinion to yourself, you are insulting me at this difficult time,” we read.
However, the interlocutor did not give up. He added that people do not want to see such items on a second-hand clothing app and threatened to report the violation. “For what reason? My grandmother’s death?” – the woman wondered. Her offer was blocked.
Used funeral bouquets? “That’s a really good idea”
There were extreme opinions in the comments section. Internet users noticed that funerals are expensive and this may be a good solution for people in a difficult financial situation. “I think it’s a really good idea. This way you can help people who can’t afford to buy a new bouquet. They fulfilled their purpose at one funeral, so why not pass them on?”, “I agree, we took the bouquets from my aunt and uncle’s grave and we put them on the grandparents’ grave. Otherwise they would have gone to waste”, “Should they have been left at the grave? Or maybe given to a hospice or hospital?” – we read in the comments. Some, however, were outraged and argued that the flowers were bought by the family of the application user.
