It is often customary to send sympathy flowers or plants to a funeral home, church, mortuary or to the family’s home when someone hears the news of the loss of a loved one. How do you select what to send? Or, when to send it? And, how do you select among the many Montreal florists and flower shops for your funeral flowers or arrangements?

Many funeral homes arrange visiting times for friends and family to attend prior to the formal service. If you are considering sending flowers or funeral arrangements, it is considered proper etiquette to send them prior to the commencement of the visitation. If you are unable to send flowers prior to the end of the visitation period in the funeral home, it is still appropriate to send them to the family’s home. It can be disruptive if you send flowers to the wrong place; for example, if you send them to the funeral home after formal visitation, the funeral home will be responsible for delivering them to the family, or it will be requested of the family to come pick the arrangements up. So, it is considered proper to send them directly to the family if you miss this window of time. Montreal flower delivery services can help you with these arrangements.

If you are unable to attend any of the formal services, it is considered proper etiquette to send flowers to the family’s home. In fact, it is considered proper to send the flower arrangements to the family’s home up to a month following the funeral. Work with your chosen Montreal flower delivery shop to select the best funeral flower arrangements and to arrange for a proper message and delivery time.
What is Appropriate to Send?
To many people, it can be overwhelming to know what flower arrangements to select for either sending to the funeral home or to the family’s home. Your Montreal flower delivery store will assist you in this selection, and there are a number of Montreal florists and flower shops in which to select from. Here are some of the most common selections that will be recommended:

• Sympathy Sprays- These are commonly sent directly to the funeral home, church or facility in which services are being held at. They are often used to display on easels or along tables due to their ideal size and shape.

• Wreaths- These special arrangements put together by Montreal florists and flower shops are also ideal to send directly to the funeral home or facility in which the services are being held at. You may want to call the family however in advance to see if there will be a use for this type of arrangement.

• Funeral Basket- a basket is a great item to send for display at any of the funeral services, as well as it is an appropriate item to send to the family’s home following the services.

• Green Plants- These are a popular choice as they can often be permanent in the home of the family or planted outside, lasting much longer than a traditional floral arrangement. Your Montreal florist and flower shop will be able to assist you in selecting the most ideal green plant for the family.
