What Flowers to Send to a Funeral in Miami, and What They Cost

Sending funeral flowers is one of the few things you cannot get wrong twice: they have to be right, and they have to be on time. This guide covers what to send, what it costs in Miami, and exactly how delivery to a funeral home works.

What flowers do you send for a funeral?

White is the traditional language of sympathy: lilies, roses, orchids and chrysanthemums. The form depends on who you are to the family:

• Standing sprays, wreaths, crosses and hearts go to the funeral home for the viewing or service. These are sent by families, companies and close friends.
• Vase arrangements and orchids go to the family’s home, before or after the service, when you want to accompany them without protocol.
• Ribbon banners with a name (“MOM”, “DAD”, the family name) are traditional on standing pieces; we personalize them for $25, and the easel is included on every standing piece.

Browse all 47 designs in our sympathy and funeral collection. Every piece is made in-house by our own florists; nothing is outsourced.

Delivery to the funeral home, on time. Always.

A funeral delivery has no second chance, so we treat it differently: give us the name of the deceased, the funeral home and the service time, and we coordinate the delivery with the viewing schedule. Our own drivers deliver across Miami-Dade in a refrigerated van, leave the piece placed at the receiving area, and send you photo confirmation. Order by 5 PM Monday through Friday (Saturday 1 PM) for same-day delivery; see our white glove delivery service for how every order is handled, and the full list of Miami funeral homes on our delivery routes.

What to write on the card

Short and sincere beats long and formal: “In loving memory”, “With deepest sympathy, the Ramirez family”, “Forever in our hearts”. If you are sending a standing piece, the ribbon carries the tribute and the card carries your names. We keep the full set of ready-to-copy card messages in one place, including ribbon wording.

Quick answers

What flowers do you send for a funeral? White flowers are the traditional choice, lilies, roses, orchids and chrysanthemums in wreaths, standing sprays, crosses and hearts. For the service, send a standing piece addressed to the funeral home. For the family, a vase arrangement or an orchid sent to their home is more practical.

How much do funeral flowers cost in Miami? Our sympathy arrangements start at $160 for a white vase arrangement. Hat boxes run $180 to $400, wreaths $250 to $1,100 and heart tributes $300 to $1,300. Personalized ribbon banners are $25, and the easel is included.

Can you deliver flowers directly to a funeral home in Miami? Yes, to funeral homes across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, coordinated with the service so the piece is in place before it begins. Give us the name of the person who passed, the funeral home and the service time, and if you don’t know the time, we call the funeral home. Order by 5 PM Monday to Friday for same-day delivery.

What should you write on a funeral flower card? Keep it short and from the heart, like “In loving memory”, “With deepest sympathy” or “Forever in our hearts”, followed by your names. On ribbon banners for wreaths and sprays, a word like “MOM”, “DAD” or the family name is traditional, and a personalized ribbon is $25.

Three Things Nobody Tells You Before Sending Funeral Flowers for Your Mom in Miami

The casket spray is for the immediate family, the standing spray goes beside it, the sympathy arrangement goes to the house. It goes straight to the funeral home with her full name and service time, and we confirm it’s placed. Two weeks later, send the small one.

1. Casket, standing, house

There are three different pieces and they go to three different places. The casket spray goes on the casket. The standing spray goes beside it. The sympathy arrangement goes to the house. If you are the daughter, you are ordering the spray. All three are on our funeral flowers page, and if you are not sure which one is yours, text us and we will tell you.

2. Straight to the funeral home

It goes straight to the funeral home, not to you. We need her full name and the service time. Our own driver delivers it and you get a photo when it is placed, so you do not make that call. Read how funeral home delivery in Miami works, including the time we need before the service.

3. Two weeks later

The service is one day. Two weeks later, when the house is empty and nobody sends anything, a small white arrangement or an orchid says more than the biggest spray did. Set it up now and forget it. We schedule it and deliver it on the day you choose.

You shouldn’t have to figure this out today. Send us her name and the service time and we handle it from there.

If the service is for a mother, we keep a dedicated selection with prices and timing here: funeral flowers for Mom.
