Frequently Asked Questions

Funeral flower costs vary widely: sympathy bouquets $50-$100, standing sprays $100-$250, casket sprays $150-$500+, and full floral arrangements for the service $500-$2,000+. Most families spend $200-$800 on flowers for the immediate family's arrangements.
Lilies symbolize restored innocence; roses represent love and respect; carnations signify remembrance; chrysanthemums represent death in many cultures; gladiolus represents strength. White flowers are traditional, but any favorite flowers of the deceased are appropriate.
The immediate family usually provides the casket spray and main arrangements. Extended family and friends often send standing sprays, wreaths, or bouquets. Employers may send arrangements. Guests can contribute to group arrangements or send individual sympathy flowers.
Funeral homes can coordinate delivery and placement, but often markup prices 20-50%. Ordering directly from a local florist is often cheaper and supports local businesses. Many florists specialize in sympathy arrangements and can deliver to funeral homes.
Flowers can go to the graveside, be distributed to family members, donated to hospitals/nursing homes, or composted. Some families request 'in lieu of flowers' donations to charity. Discuss preferences with the family before the service.
Order 1-2 days before the service for best selection. Same-day delivery is often possible but limits options. For large arrangements or specific flowers, order 3-4 days ahead. Provide the funeral home name, service date/time, and deceased's name.
