Avoid online florists!

Online retailers are often deceptive order gatherers who lie and say they are a local florist. Their flowers often arrive at our funeral home late and in a box from UPS or FedEx and are usually very skimpy. To find a true local florist, avoid sponsored ads, look for Google Map listings with a physical address, check reviews, and consider calling the florist directly.

How to identify and avoid order gatherers

Look for “sponsored” in search results: Many deceptive sites appear at the top of search results because they pay to be there.

Check the website: Be wary if a site's domain name seems generic or doesn't match the business name. Real local florists usually have a domain that reflects their business name, like Belvedere Flowers.

Look for a physical address and phone number: Legitimate local florists will have a physical address, phone number, and email listed on their website. You can verify this information by looking for a Google Map listing.

Avoid big wire services: Companies like FTD, Teleflora, and 1-800-Flowers use order-gathering networks.

Call the florist directly: If you are unsure, call the local florist directly to place an order. This ensures your money goes directly to them and allows you to build a relationship with a real community florist.
