Should Flowers Go to the Funeral Home or the Family’s Home?
Flowers may be sent to either the funeral home or the family’s home. The best location depends on the type of arrangement, when it will arrive, and how you would like to express your condolences.
Formal funeral flowers are typically delivered to the funeral home, church, chapel, or memorial-service location. Sympathy arrangements, plants, and basket gardens are often sent directly to the family’s home.
When to Send Flowers to the Funeral Home
Send flowers to the funeral home when you want your arrangement displayed during the visitation, funeral, or memorial service.
Appropriate choices may include:
- Standing sprays
- Funeral wreaths
- Funeral baskets
- Crosses and other tribute designs
- Larger sympathy arrangements
Casket sprays and flowers placed directly on or inside the casket are generally selected by the immediate family.
For accurate delivery, provide the deceased’s full name, funeral-home name, complete address, service date, and start time. Ordering early gives the florist time to coordinate delivery before the service.
When to Send Flowers to the Family’s Home
Sending flowers to the family’s home offers comfort in a more personal setting. This is a thoughtful choice before or after the funeral, when you cannot attend the service, or when you learn about the death later.
Good options for home delivery include:
- Vase arrangements
- Sympathy baskets
- Green plants
- Blooming plants
- Basket gardens
Include the recipient’s full name, telephone number, complete address, and any gate or access instructions.

Neither choice is always better. Send formal funeral designs to the service and more personal sympathy arrangements or plants to the family’s home.
