Funeral Flowers

Honor Your Loved One With Beautiful Floral Arrangements

Losing a friend or family member is one of life's most difficult moments. During the hardest times, your local florist is here to aid in the funeral service.

Types of Arrangements

We offer a wide variety of funeral flower arrangements. From bouquets to wreaths and graveside service arrangements, @flowers_shop wants to help.

Words are sometimes hard to find when a friend or loved one passes. Yet flowers often define our feelings for a family member or lost friend. From humble arrangements to lush standing sprays, this simple gesture of support can mean a lot to a grieving family.

Standing Sprays and Wreaths

Normally positioned near the casket and later transported to the gravesite, a funeral standing spray is an arrangement of flowers on a wire stand. Sympathy wreaths symbolize the continuance of life with their circular shape, and are typically sent to the funeral home. Some wreaths might have a personalized ribbon to represent the departed.

Baskets and Bouquets

Celebrate the life of the dearly departed by sending the family beautiful sympathy flowers. A basket of flowers or a fresh floral bouquet in a vase is an appropriate choice for expressing your feelings to the family of a lost loved one. Choose from a classic arrangement of pure white flowers with roses, lilies, carnations, and more, or personalize it with the departed's favorite color and flowers.

Gift Baskets and Plants

Show you care by sending the family a tasteful green plant or a gift basket with snacks and other comforting items. Honor the life of their loved one with a lovely green plant, allowing them to remember their loved ones for weeks to come.

Funeral Flower Delivery Service

We offer funeral home, gravesite, and residential home delivery. Uptown Creations will ensure your sympathy gifts arrive in the right place.

Online or by phone, we will work with you to create a beautiful arrangement that expresses your condolences and honors your loved one.

Cremation and Memorial

Celebrate the spirit of a loved one with fresh flowers.

The loss of a friend or family member is never easy. Honor your loved one's memory with a beautiful memorial or cremation floral bouquet. Express your condolences with an arrangement that truly encompasses their spirit.

We have beautiful cremation and memorial flower arrangements that pay tribute to your loved one. During the memorial service, it is customary to have the cremation urn or a picture of the dearly departed. Our arrangements are designed to feature these items by surrounding them with a blanket of fresh flowers. These arrangements are ideal for any memorial service, whether in a home, church, funeral home, or another location.

Classic Flowers

1. Roses

Symbolizing love, grief, innocence, and purity, roses can say everything you feel when words fail. A white rose is often used to denote innocence and reverence, while red roses can express passionate love and grief. It’s also common to see yellow and pink roses at memorials.

2. Carnations

A white carnation represents purity and innocence, while pink carnations send thoughts of remembrance. Each color is often used to represent different emotions, but these ideas are suggestions, not rules.

3. Lilies

Lilies are one of the most common funeral flowers. Their simple white appearance appeals to people’s love of simplicity. Lilies also look nice combined with other flowers and make a perfect bouquet feature.

4. Gladiolus

Gladiolus look lovely as an addition. With the name meaning “little sword” this flower symbolizes strength and integrity.

5. Hydrangea

Hydrangeas can signify sincere and heartfelt emotion, making them perfect additions to any sympathy arrangement. Popular hydrangea colors are white, pink, and blue.

Services

For someone that is cremated, flowers can be brought during the memorial services. If you are unable to attend the services, send memorial flowers to the funeral home or a family member's home. Call or order online today and send a beautiful arrangement from the heart.

For The Home

Send Sympathy Flowers To Their Home Or Office.

Offer your condolences to a friend or family member with a lovely sympathy arrangement for their home. You can send something as beautiful as the life of the one they lost. Our expert designers are here to create a funeral arrangement that is special and meaningful, just for you.

Sympathy flowers are a sweet and tasteful way of showing you care and offering support for someone who has lost a loved one. Even if you’re far away from those who are grieving, express your sentiments to the bereaved and let them know that you’re thinking of them—even if you can’t visit them or attend the funeral.

Send Sympathy Flowers To Their Home Or Office

Flowers should be sent as soon as possible after hearing someone has passed. This helps to ensure that the flowers arrive in time for the memorial service. Sympathy bouquets can also be sent on the anniversary of someone's death to show that you are thinking of them and their loved ones.
