Flowers for the Home

Flowers sent to the home are often smaller and subtle in size and more appropriate for a residential setting. They can range in style, from a vase or container arrangement, hand-tied bouquets and even plants. Flowers sent to the home can be more personal and are most likely to be kept by the family at home.

Colours: Although you can send any colour, the most popular sympathy choices include white, pastel or light coloured flowers. Be sure to check if any colours may have any traditional or cultural meanings to the family as this can influence your decision.

Card Message: A small card is included along with the flowers. Your message can include short sympathy message such as “Our condolences on the loss of your _” or “Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.” Be sure to include your name(s) so that the family knows who the flowers are from.

Delivery: We require the name, full address, and phone number of the person or family receiving the flowers.

When should you order? Since these flowers are not time sensitive they can be ordered any time up until 11:30 am for same day delivery. For pick up orders, you can order any time before closing (6 pm). We recommend sending flowers to the home either the day before the service or after as there is a better chance that someone will be home to receive the flowers.

Flowers for the Service

Flowers sent to the visitation or service are often larger in size to have a more grand appearance at the service. Popular styles include pedestal arrangements, standing sprays, wreaths, cross’ and vase arrangements. Flowers sent for the service are often brought to the cemetery for the burial and are not usually kept by the family.

Colours: Service flowers can vary in colour, from all white to colourful flowers.

Card or Ribbon Message: You may choose between a card or a ribbon for the arrangement. We recommend sending a small card if you want to include a longer message or if you want to keep your message more private. Alternatively a ribbon is larger and more visible but does not fit longer messages.

Delivery: Since the flowers are on the larger side we recommend getting them delivered. We require the full name of the deceased person, the name and address of the funeral home, and the starting time of the service. The flowers are delivered a few hours before the start of the service to allow the funeral director enough time to place them in the room.

When should you order? Since funeral flowers take longer to create and are more time sensitive we recommend ordering them as soon as you can to guarantee that we can make and deliver them in time. This is especially important if the funeral home is further away from our shop (outside of Mississauga).

Flowers ordered by the Family

Flowers ordered by immediate family members include the casket spray along with other funeral service arrangements. These flowers are often (but do not have to) follow a similar style or colour theme.
