Sympathy

Linda has been making funeral flowers long enough to know that the person ordering them is usually having the worst week of their life. Tell her the funeral home and the day. She will take it from there.

If the service is tomorrow, call rather than fill in a form. Same-day orders need to be in by [NEEDS LINDA: cut-off time].

Casket spray of burgundy and white carnations with palm and fern, finished with a red sash lettered Loving Mother.
Casket spray, burgundy and white carnations A full-length spray built low and wide to sit across the casket, in burgundy and white carnations over palm and leatherleaf. The sash is lettered to order — this one reads Loving Mother.
Heart-shaped wreath on an easel, made from pink and cream roses with butterfly detail.
Heart wreath, pink and cream roses A solid heart on an easel, massed in garden roses and spray roses with a butterfly set into the face. Ordered most often by children for a mother or a grandmother.
Standing cross on an easel in white blooms and green button chrysanthemums.
Standing cross, white and green A cross worked almost entirely in greens and white button chrysanthemums, which keeps it quiet rather than bright. A good choice for a religious service where the family wants restraint.
Standing spray on an easel in pink roses, alstroemeria and snapdragons with a pink ribbon.
Standing spray, pinks and soft corals An open, airy easel spray in pink roses, alstroemeria and snapdragons, finished with a wide ribbon. The height is set so it reads clearly from the back of a room.
Basket arrangement of white lilies and chrysanthemums with dark greens.
Basket arrangement, white lilies White lilies and chrysanthemums in a low basket, cut to be carried easily and to travel home with the family afterwards. Suits a viewing or a graveside better than a tall piece does.
Two pink and white memorial pieces set up on easels inside a funeral home room.
A pair of easel pieces, placed Two matched standing pieces delivered and set on their easels before the family arrived. Ordering a pair either side of the casket is the usual arrangement when several relatives are contributing.

What Linda makes

Every piece is built to order, so the flowers in these photographs are examples rather than a catalogue. If you have seen something you like, say so and she will work from it. If you have no idea what you want, that is normal. Say who it is for and roughly what you want to spend.

Standing sprays and easel pieces

The tall arrangements that stand beside the casket. Usually ordered by the immediate family or by a group at work.

Casket pieces

The spray that lies across the casket, traditionally from the closest family. Sashes can be lettered — “Loving Mother”, “Abuela”, “Beloved Wife” — and Linda will tell you what fits before you commit to it.

Wreaths, hearts and crosses

Shaped pieces on easels. Hearts and crosses carry more meaning for some families than a spray does; if the family is religious, ask her.

Getting it to the service

Linda delivers to the funeral home and sets the pieces on their easels before the family arrives, so nobody has to carry flowers in from a parking lot. She will call the funeral home herself to check when they can receive delivery.
