Sympathy Flowers FAQ
At Periwinkle Flowers, we understand that ordering sympathy flowers is a meaningful way to express care and support during a difficult time. Below, you’ll find answers to common questions about our sympathy flower arrangements and services.
What types of sympathy arrangements do you offer?
We provide:
- Casket sprays
- Standing sprays
- Arrangements in vases and ceramic containers
Our designs feature a modern garden style, blending softness and beauty to honor your loved ones without the traditional "funeral" feel.
What is the price range for sympathy arrangements?
Our arrangements range from $150 to $400, depending on size and type.
What is your delivery area and fee?
We deliver to funeral homes and private residences across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
- Delivery fees range from $10-$15, depending on distance.
- We are located close to Mount Pleasant Cemetery Visitation Centre, Humphrey Miles Newbigging Chapel, and Morley Bedford Funeral Home, making timely deliveries to these locations especially convenient.
When should I place my order?
We understand that funerals often require quick planning. For standard arrangements, we can accommodate same-day or rush orders when needed. For special requests, we ask for at least 2-3 days' notice whenever possible.
When is the best time to schedule delivery?
We recommend arranging delivery for the afternoon before the visitation date. This ensures that funeral home staff have time to display the flowers before the family arrives. Same-day deliveries are possible but may miss the start time of a service, especially for locations further from our store.
Do you coordinate with funeral homes for setup?
Yes. If flowers need to be displayed in a specific area during the service, we will contact the funeral home directly to ensure your request is fulfilled.
What types of arrangements are best for funerals?
Sympathy flowers are often displayed in large spaces, so we recommend fuller, larger pieces to ensure they make a beautiful impact.
Casket sprays are typically ordered by immediate family members. For others, standing sprays or vase arrangements are thoughtful and appropriate choices.
What message should I include with sympathy flowers?
We include a handwritten card with every arrangement. Simple, heartfelt sentiments work best, such as:
- "With deepest sympathy"
- "In loving memory of..."
- "Thinking of you"
We also recommend signing your full name (including your surname) to ensure the family knows who sent the flowers.
What makes Periwinkle Flowers’ sympathy arrangements unique?
Our sympathy arrangements stand out for their modern garden style, designed to feel soft and soothing while remaining beautiful and elegant. They avoid a traditional "funeral" feel, offering a comforting tribute to your loved one.
Do you offer refunds for sympathy arrangements?
Due to the nature of these orders, we do not offer refunds for sympathy arrangements.
If you have additional questions or need guidance in selecting the perfect arrangement, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are here to help during this difficult time.
