When someone you care about has died, choosing flowers can feel like one more decision at a difficult time. You may be arranging a tribute for a service, sending condolences to a family at home, or looking for flowers that reflect the person being remembered.
At 5280Flowers, we can help you work through those choices. Start with where the flowers will go, the style you have in mind and your budget. You do not need to know the names of every flower before calling us.
Start with the setting
For a funeral or memorial service, standing sprays, floral hearts and larger arrangements offer several ways to create a tribute. A casket spray is designed for placement on the casket, so coordinate that choice with the family or person making the funeral arrangements.
If you are sending flowers to the family's home, a vase arrangement, flower basket or living planter may suit the space. Think about where the gift will be placed and how much room is available. Follow any preferences the family has shared, including requests for donations or other gestures in place of flowers.
Our Funeral & Sympathy main page helps you choose between gifts for the home, flowers for a service and custom designs from our gallery.
Choose colors and flowers with the person in mind
White flowers and greenery create a soft, understated palette. Pink, lavender, yellow or a brighter mixture can also be considered when they reflect the family's wishes or the person being remembered.
A favorite flower, a meaningful color or a love of orchids can give us a starting point. Tell us which details matter most. We can discuss how to include them, subject to availability, and suggest a size suited to the setting.
See examples in our numbered sympathy gallery
Our Sympathy & Funeral Arrangement Gallery shows 24 examples of work we have created, including standing sprays, casket flowers, vase arrangements, baskets and planters. Backgrounds have been digitally refined for presentation.
Each example has a reference number, making it easier to discuss what you like. For instance, SG-005 is a white lily sympathy arrangement, while SG-007 is a white orchid planter with succulents. You can ask about a design as shown or use it as a starting point for different flowers, colors or proportions.
Some photographs show coordinating pairs or a group of gifts. When requesting a quote, please tell us whether you would like one piece, selected pieces or the complete group.
What to have ready when requesting a quote
Share the gallery number, your budget, the delivery address and the requested date. For a service, please also provide the venue name, service time and any arrival instructions from the funeral home or coordinator.
Your budget helps us suggest an appropriate size and flower selection. Gallery arrangements are quoted individually because the flowers, scale, container and delivery requirements affect the price.
Flowers and containers vary with seasonal and market availability. Necessary substitutions are made with suitable items of the same or higher value. If a particular flower or color is essential, tell us before we confirm the order.
