Frequently Asked Questions About Funeral Flower Cards

Are Certain Flowers Unsuitable For A Funeral?

While classic white lilies, chrysanthemums, and red roses are traditional, bright seasonal blooms are increasingly popular for "celebration of life" services. If you are unsure of the family's preference, neutral palettes (whites, creams, soft pastels, and lush greenery) are always appropriate flowers for a funeral.

Can You Send Flowers Anonymously Or As A Group?

Yes. If sending as a group (such as a sports club or workplace department), list the collective group name on the card. If you wish to remain anonymous, inform the florist, though keep in mind that grieving families often find comfort in knowing who sent support.

Do You Send Flowers To The Funeral Home, Church, Or Viewing?

For large standing wreaths, casket sprays, or floral arrangements for memorial services, send them directly to the funeral home or church venue prior to the viewing/service. For individual gift bouquets or plant baskets, sending them directly to the family home provides lasting comfort after the formal services conclude.
