We offer flexibility to help ease the logistical challenges of sending funeral and sympathy flowers across the United States and Canada. You can provide the delivery address of the funeral home, or simply use their email and mobile number to have the family help you with details ensuring your flowers arrive at the right place and time.
Funeral flowers have long symbolized love, peace, and the continuity of life. They offer comfort in times of loss, serving as a heartfelt way to express condolences, honor the deceased, and show support to the grieving family. However, sending flowers to a funeral home is not always straightforward, especially during a time of emotional and logistical stress and unknowns.
Social Flowers give you flexibility to send flowers to a funeral home whether you know all the details or need help filling some in.
When You Know the Funeral Home and All the Details
You can provide the funeral address and use that option when your know:
- The funeral home name and address is
- The service date and time the flowers should arrive
- The name of the deceased
To use this option, at checkout, for the ‘Delivery Address’ dropdown, choose the ‘Provided By Me’ option. You’ll then be able to select the date and provide the deceased name.
When You Need Help Filling in the Funeral Details
Death is often unexpected and sometimes you have very little information.
Questions you may have when someone passes:
- What funeral home are the services at?
- What are the service times for the deceased?
- Which visitation service should the flowers arrive for?
- What is the name of the deceased? (If it’s the friend’s loved one).
- Does the family have a preference for the types of flowers?
If you don’t know some or all of the details above, send funeral flowers through Social Flowers and have the family help you fill in the blanks.
The family receives a “You’ve Got Flowers” link and they provide the funeral home name, choose the delivery date so the flowers arrive at the appropriate time. They can fill in the deceased name too.
And, if they don’t use the link to accept flowers, you don’t pay. For example if you sent flowers too late for the services, they will know you tried to send flowers but won’t accept them and you don’t pay anything making it risk free.
With Recipient’s Choice, you can even let the family choose the style of arrangement, colors, and flower types to match a color preference they or the departed have.
Helping Ensure Your Flowers Are Seen
When sending flowers to a funeral home, it’s important to ensure they receive the attention they deserve. These type of deliveries can sometimes result in unfortunate oversights, as the hustle and bustle of the day can allow funeral directors and staff to overlook deliveries in a backroom, or misplace them.
When the family actively accepts your flowers and provides the details, this means they know your flowers are coming and will look out for them. If your flowers have not been put out for the service, the family can help by alerting staff to ensure that your thoughtful gesture is displayed and appreciated.

Founders Message
I’ve personally used our service several times in similar situations. Recently, our Customer Service Manager, Katie, experienced the heartbreaking loss of her mother. We wanted to send flowers - but faced a challenge: we didn’t know her mother’s name or the details of the funeral service. To make it easy, we sent Katie a “You’ve Got Flowers” link with a Standing Spray. She was able to enter the funeral home's name and schedule the delivery for the appropriate service.
In another instance, my friend Rita lost her father. Initially, I thought of sending flowers for a service being held at a family member’s home, so I used Social Flowers. However, Rita decided she preferred the flowers delivered to her home after the service. I was grateful for the flexibility that Social Flowers provided, allowing her to receive the flowers at a time that felt right for her, rather than just following my original intention. These experiences underscore how Social Flowers truly adapts to the needs of those we aim to support during such difficult times.
