I was ordering from the US for my father in law and these gals were nothing but kind and reassuring. If you have a loved one in the hospital I would encourage ordering from Ilene!

Frequently Asked Questions

What flowers are appropriate for sympathy?

White flowers traditionally represent peace and remembrance, while soft pastel flowers express comfort and love. Bright arrangements are also a meaningful choice when celebrating a vibrant life. Florists and customers alike often see white lilies, chrysanthemums, roses, and soft mixed blooms as appropriate choices, with colour palettes reflecting the wishes of the family and the personality of the person being remembered.

Should flowers be sent to the funeral or family home?

Either option is thoughtful.

Flowers sent to the family home provide comfort in the days following a loss, while funeral flowers are displayed during the service as a tribute.

Can flowers be delivered directly to the funeral?

Yes. Our team can coordinate delivery to churches, funeral homes and memorial services throughout Hamilton.

Can I include a personal message?

Yes, we offer free message cards with every floral tribute that a heartfelt message can be included inside.

Can you create custom funeral tributes?

Yes, we love designing a unique and personalised tribute for your loved one.
