A phone call, a text, a post on social media. However you heard the news, your first thought was probably, “What can I do?” For a lot of people, the answer is flowers. If the service is at Colonial Funeral Home, we can help you send flowers that feel thoughtful and arrive right on time.
Choosing Flowers to Colonial Funeral Home
Think about the person you’re honoring. Were they the kind of person who loved bright, cheerful color? Did they keep a garden? Were they quiet and classic, more roses than wildflowers? Letting that guide your choice is one of the nicest things you can do.
Some ideas to get you started:
-
Soft and serene: white roses, lilies, and hydrangeas with plenty of greenery
-
Warm and uplifting: yellow roses, sunflowers, and orange lilies
-
Classic and traditional: red roses and white carnations, often in a standing spray
-
Living tribute: a peace lily, orchid, or green plant the family can keep
If you’d rather not decide, tell us a bit about the person and we’ll suggest something.
How to Send Flowers to Colonial Funeral Home
We’ve made ordering as simple as we can. Online or over the phone, we’ll just need:
-
The name of the person being remembered
-
The service or visitation date and time
-
Your message for the card
We deliver directly to Colonial Funeral Home and label your arrangement with the family’s name, so it’s placed correctly and the family knows exactly who it came from.
Last-Minute Delivery Flowers to Colonial Funeral Home
If the service is today, don’t give up. We offer same-day delivery flowers to Colonial Funeral Home on orders placed before our daily cutoff. Give us a call so we can check timing with you directly. We’ll be upfront about what’s possible and suggest arrangements we can design quickly without sacrificing quality.
Is It Better to Send Flowers to the Funeral Home or the House?
Both are kind. Here’s how to decide:
Send to the funeral home if you want your tribute to be part of the service. Standing sprays, wreaths, and large arrangements belong here.
Send to the family’s home if you knew the family more than the person who passed, or if you’ve missed the service. Smaller bouquets and plants work well in a home.
Some people do both: a standing spray for the service, and a small plant for the house a week later.
Card Messages That Feel Genuine
The card doesn’t need to be poetic. In fact, simple is usually better.
-
“Sending love and strength to your family.”
-
“She made the world a little brighter.”
-
“We’re so sorry. We’re here for you.”
If you have a short memory, write it. Families often keep these cards and read them again months later.
Fresh, Every Time
We check every stem before it goes into an arrangement, so your flowers stay fresh through the whole visitation and service.
A Local Florist That Shows Up
We’re a hands-on local shop, and sympathy work is something we take seriously. Your arrangement is designed by a real florist, checked before it leaves, and delivered by our own drivers. We confirm the details, and if anything goes wrong, we fix it.
When you’re ready to send flowers to Colonial Funeral Home, browse our sympathy collection or call us. We’ll handle it gently and get it there in time.
