    an alternative is to phone a florist near to where the funeral is taking place and get them to deliver to the funeral parlour or cemetary. Think it might be slightly cheaper to do it that way. (it was when we did it that way.)

    be aware of the interflora website, they sign you up (it's in the small print) to some company that take money from you each month, not entirely sure what, but please ready the small print, it's not just flowers your getting
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

    Most florists will make up "funeral" flowers. It doesn't have to be the larger known (such as Interflora)

    Does it have to be on-line? :confused: You could search the local directory and make a telephone call and still get a good deal.

    Whichever route you choose, may I offer my condolences? To be thinking of flowers for a funeral, you (or someone close to you) must have lost someone you cared for ((hugs))

    I would get a telephone number of a florist for the town the funeral is being held in , florist will know the address of the funeral parlour dealing with the arrangements . Tell the florist what you would like , any particular type of flowers , the message you wish to be written on card , give deceased name and date of funeral and the florist will do as you ask.

    give lots and you will always recieve lots

    Do you mean the local directory near to the funeral?
    Thanks for your condolences.

    You can search www.yell.com for "florists" in "<town where funeral is being held>" :)

    If you want them arranged - a florist. Just flowers - Tesco.

    My Mum a few months ago departed and to be honest for the very small funeral and since it was a cremation Tescos flowers were excellent.. Also they do not cremate any flowers/wreathes, but you can have them given away to charitable homes so others can have enjoyment from them.

    Just don't feel guilty in this emotional time :(
    GOOGLE it before you ask, you'll often save yourself a lot of time. ;)
  • At this time of year and given the forecast for the next week or so it's really worth thinking about artificial flowers. Someone did this lately for a relative who died and they are now the only flowers still on the grave, makes it look a lot less bleak!
