Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can sympathy flowers be delivered?

Order by 12 PM (noon) for same-day delivery to most areas. For funeral home deliveries, we coordinate with the funeral director to ensure flowers arrive before visitation or service. Next-day delivery guaranteed for all orders placed before 5 PM.

Should I send flowers to the funeral home or family home?

Both are appropriate. Larger arrangements (standing sprays, wreaths) go to funeral homes for display at services. Bouquets and plants can be sent to the family home where they provide comfort in the days following. Many people send one arrangement to the funeral and another to the home.

What flowers are most appropriate for funerals?

White lilies are the most traditional funeral flower, symbolizing restored innocence and peace. White roses, chrysanthemums, carnations, and gladiolus are also appropriate. Soft pastels (pink, lavender, light blue) are acceptable. Avoid bright colors unless you know the deceased specifically loved them.

What should I write on a sympathy card?

Keep messages brief and sincere. Express your condolences, acknowledge the loss, and offer support. Examples: "With deepest sympathy" or "Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time." Avoid religious references unless you know the family's beliefs. We provide message examples during checkout.

Can I send flowers if I can't attend the funeral?

Yes, sending flowers is a thoughtful way to express condolences when you cannot attend in person. Send arrangements to the funeral home with a card explaining you cannot be there. You can also send flowers to the family home before or after the service.

Is it appropriate to send flowers for all religions?

Most Christian denominations welcome funeral flowers. Jewish tradition typically does not include flowers at funerals—consider sending a plant to the home after shiva. Muslim funerals generally do not include flowers. Buddhist and Hindu services often welcome flowers. When in doubt, contact the funeral home or send a plant to the home instead.

How do I address the sympathy flower card?

Address the card to the closest family member(s): "The Smith Family" or "John and Mary Smith." If sending to a funeral home, include: "In Memory of [Deceased Name]" so funeral directors know where to place the arrangement. Your name and relationship can be included at the bottom.

What's the difference between a casket spray and standing spray?

Casket sprays are placed on top of the casket and are typically ordered by immediate family (spouse, children). Standing sprays are displayed on easels around the room and can be sent by extended family, friends, or organizations. Standing sprays are more common as they're appropriate from any relationship.

Can I include my company name on sympathy flowers?

Yes, when sending on behalf of a company or organization, include your company name: "With sympathy from the team at [Company Name]" or "In loving memory, from your friends at [Company Name]." This helps the family know who sent the arrangement.
