Flowers sent to the service are living memorials to the deceased. If you have missed the service, send flowers to the family home. Most often, a flower bouquet in a vase or a basket of flowers is sent to the service. You could also send another type of floral gift, such as a wreath, an easel or a standing spray. In some locations, a green or blooming plant is also appropriate. Some families request designs that can be sent to local hospitals or nursing homes afterward to be shared with their patients. |

I want to provide an arrangement for the service, but I don’t know what the set-up will be that day.
Consider an arrangement designed on a freestanding easel, which allows your gift to be enjoyed with ease on the day of the service.
A subtle, graceful blend of whites, pinks and peaches, the Gentle Thoughts Funeral Spray makes a tasteful addition to any funeral service. Hand-arranged and delivered by a Teleflora florist, the spray includes pink carnations, symbolizing pride and beauty, white spray chrysanthemums for fidelity and rose accents for enduring love. Another option is the classic Cherished Moments Spray, which also arrives on its own self-standing easel. The arrangement is a traditional palette of white gladioli and snapdragons accented with brilliant red carnations.
I would like to send a less somber arrangement that celebrates life.
A funeral service is as much about gaining closure following a death as it is about celebrating the delight and energy the deceased brought to life. For that reason, selecting vibrant, colorful and bright flowers are just as appropriate and can add a joyful note of remembrance to an otherwise somber occasion. The Celebration of Life Standing Spray is a vivacious arrangement of orange gladioli and roses, yellow gerberas and hot pink asters that offers a spirit of renewal and hope.

I’d like to send flowers to the memorial that can also be enjoyed at the viewing and church service.
For multiple day services, it is best to send flowers that will be designed in a container with water or floral foam. This will keep the flowers fresh for the longest possible time. Design styles include vase arrangements, baskets and container designs. One such example is the Most Memorable Tribute, which includes a vibrant mix of gerberas, carnations, spray roses, larkspur and snapdragons that have been arranged in a green jardiniere. Plants are also an excellent choice as they may be enjoyed in the home long after the services are over.
I want to honor our loved one at the church service in a symbolic way.
While there are many Christian symbols that pay thoughtful tribute at a funeral service, one of the most striking is the traditional cross. A classic emblem of memorial and faith, this Hope and Honor Cross is composed of a rich carpet of white chrysanthemums, which themselves are an ancient symbol of pride and beauty. A vibrant cluster of red carnations sweeps across the cross, providing a stunning contrast and lovely focal point.
