What you need to figure out
Sending the right flowers is mostly about a few small decisions made well. Here’s the framework.
01
Where do they go?
Funeral home, family’s home, or church — each serves a different purpose, and the right answer depends on your relationship.
02
What kind of arrangement?
Standing spray, sympathy bouquet, plant, or wreath. What’s appropriate depends on your relationship to the deceased.
03
How much to spend?
There’s a sensible range based on how close you were. We’ll show you what most people send — without the upsell.
04
What to write?
Two to four sentences. Honest, brief, personal. Templates that work and what to avoid.
Your flowers will not be judged on their size or sophistication. They will be received as a marker that someone cared enough to send something.
