BUYER BEWARE: This is what happens the vast majority of the time when flowers are ordered online through a national floral website. They often present themselves as local, but are definitely not.

These showed up a day late, after hours. Please contact your local florists for funeral flowers/gifts or order through the funeral home’s website as those orders are filled locally. This will ensure that items arrive on time.
