FAQs about Funeral Flowers

How much should I spend on funeral flowers?

There is no set amount to spend on funeral flowers. It depends on the type and number of flowers you wish to send and the size of the arrangement. Large-scale arrangements may range from $75 to over $400, depending on complexity and style. Smaller arrangements, like a single rosebud or bouquet, can cost between $39 and $50. Remember, the gesture of mourning and sympathy is more important than its monetary value.

How do I know what flowers to send for a funeral?

There is no right or wrong type of funeral flower arrangement. Consider the preferences of the deceased and their family when making your decision. Traditional choices include lilies, roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, and gladioli. Unique displays might feature wildflowers, sunflowers, and exotic blooms. White flowers are often used for expressions of sympathy.

How will the funeral home know who the flowers are from?

Funeral homes receive the card message attached to the flowers. This card includes the deceased's name and a personal message of condolence, along with the funeral home's name, address, service date, your name, and the sending florist or business. Additional contact information or specific relationships with the deceased can also be included to help the florist create an appropriate arrangement.

What if I need to cancel my funeral order?

If you need to cancel your order, contact the florist or funeral home as soon as possible. Depending on their policy, you may be fully refunded or charged a cancellation fee. Ensure the flowers have not yet been delivered before attempting to cancel. Cancellation policies vary, so it’s best to ask beforehand what their policy is to avoid issues later.
