Una vida recordada

This design grew out of hearing families describe wanting something warm rather than somber. Hydrangea and daisy pompons gave that gentleness without losing the sense of remembrance a service calls for. It's one of the floor baskets and arrangements we recommend most often.

A few details before you order.

What's Included in This Funeral Flower Basket: Hydrangea, larkspur, daisy pompons, and mums fill a floor basket on its own easel, delivered fully arranged. Designers can add other items like a ribbon sash, as with other sympathy arrangements we design.

White & Yellow Colors: White and soft yellow move through the piece; these flowers pair with green foliage at the base, as with most of our floor basket arrangements.

Size & Presentation: This piece comes in one full size, among the highest price points in our floor basket arrangements. It's one of our popular choices for a gathering with a full room of mourners.

Occasions for Funeral Services: This basket suits a funeral service or a graveside gathering at the cemetery, and works for a celebration of life just as well as a traditional service.

Funeral Home Delivery: We provide timed delivery to funeral homes in most areas nationwide; include the service time at checkout. For flowers needed on short notice, call our shop and we'll do what we can.

• Once delivered, this piece needs no watering.
• It holds its shape and color through the service without wilting, one less thing to think about on a hard day.
• At the Service Site: Staff typically keep it cool and out of direct sun until it's brought into the room.
• After the Service: Some families bring the basket home afterward, a small gift of comfort from the day itself.

• When a bloom in this palette isn't available, our designers bring in something of equal value, always keeping the color story intact, as with all our sympathy arrangements.

Service site or private home?

Most families send it to where the service is held, similar to our other floor baskets and arrangements, though we can deliver to a private home.

I don't know the right words for the card. What should I write?

A short line to express your condolences during a time of mourning, like 'with deepest sympathy,' is enough. We can suggest wording if you call our shop.

Same-day delivery for tomorrow?

Often, yes. Services are frequently scheduled with little notice, and we accommodate short timelines.

Can I send this if I only knew the deceased through family members?

Yes. Flowers are a common way to express support even from a distance, without having met the family.

Plants instead of cut flowers?

Yes, blooming and green plants are a longer-lasting alternative to fresh flowers, if you'd rather send something that keeps growing.

How is this different from a casket spray?

This basket stands on its own easel next to the casket, unlike casket sprays, which rest directly on the casket lid. Both are common choices, and some families send one of each.
