Written by Petal Perfection Flower Company
When visiting an obituary or funeral home website, you may see a convenient button that says something similar to:
“Send Flowers”
Before placing the order, consider asking:
Who is actually fulfilling this floral order?
Am I ordering directly from the florist?
Is a third party involved?
Can I speak directly with the floral designer?
Can the arrangement be personalized?
Who should I contact if I need to make a change?
Then consider searching for a reputable florist that directly serves the location of the funeral.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ordering Funeral Flowers
Is it better to order funeral flowers directly from a florist?
In many cases, ordering directly from a florist provides the clearest line of communication. You can speak directly with the floral business about the design, flower preferences, colors, card message, service information, and delivery requirements.
Does the funeral home make the flowers ordered through its website?
Not necessarily. Funeral homes generally focus on funeral services, not floral design. The way floral orders are handled varies by funeral home and website. A floral link may connect customers with a separate floral provider or fulfillment system. If you want to know exactly who will create the flowers, check before ordering.
Can I send flowers directly to a funeral home?
Yes. A florist can deliver flowers directly to many funeral homes, churches, memorial venues, cemeteries, and other service locations. Provide the deceased’s full name and complete service information when ordering.
What information do I need when ordering funeral flowers?
Whenever possible, provide:
Full name of the deceased
Name and address of the funeral home or service location
Date of the service
Time of the service or visitation
Your relationship to the deceased or family
Your card message
Any flower or color preferences
What are the best flowers for a funeral?
There is no single “best” funeral flower. Popular choices include roses, lilies, carnations, chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, orchids, gladiolus, and seasonal flowers. The most meaningful choice is often a flower or color that reflects the person being remembered.
What funeral flowers should immediate family order?
Immediate family members often select casket sprays, urn flowers, standing sprays, hearts, crosses, wreaths, and other larger personalized tributes.
What should friends or coworkers send to a funeral?
Friends, coworkers, neighbors, and extended family often send standing sprays, wreaths, baskets, vase arrangements, plants, or sympathy arrangements.
Can funeral flowers be customized?
Yes. Working directly with a florist may make it easier to discuss custom colors, favorite flowers, personal interests, faith traditions, hobbies, and other meaningful details.
Can I send sympathy flowers to the family’s home instead?
Yes. If you prefer not to send flowers to the funeral service, a sympathy arrangement can be delivered to the family’s home before or after the funeral.
How early should I order funeral flowers?
Order as soon as you know the service details. Funeral schedules are often arranged quickly, so early ordering gives the florist more time to source flowers and plan the design. For large custom pieces, casket sprays, crosses, hearts, wreaths, and highly personalized tributes, additional notice is especially helpful.
