For thousands of years sending flowers has been an important part of the funeral service.

Flowers show support and offer comfort the grieving family members. On occasion a family may request that you consider other forms of showing sympathy and support.

 If you choose to send flowers, please consider contacting a local florist. They will contact the funeral home and deliver the flowers at the right time so the flowers you send remain fresh and beautiful for the services.

If you choose to send one of the national flower services please keep in mind their flowers will likely be delivered at a time convenient for UPS or FedEx and they may not arrive in time for the services or may be damaged during transport, most frequently by the cold or excessive heat.

The following local florists do a fine job and will strive to make your order as comforting to the family as possible.
