How To Save Money on Funeral / Sympathy Flowers in Columbia, Tennessee

If you need to send flowers to a funeral, or a sympathy flower arrangement to someone's home, there is one easy trick that will almost always save you money.

Funeral flowers can be expensive, but if you aren't the one planning the funeral and purchasing casket palls or large sprays to stand near the coffin there's no need in spending a large sum on funeral flowers.  We recommend sending something smaller that can be taken home by a member of the family.

Many funeral homes have begun partnering with one specific florist in their city so that they can add an upcharge to the flower arrangements and profit from simply connecting you to that local florist.  If you visit a funeral home website and they don't list local florists or tell you exactly which florist will be doing the flowers you purchase that means they are marking up flower arrangements.  We've seen funeral homes mark up local florist's flowers as much as 30%.  

The reason a florist would agree to be the exclusive provider of flowers on a funeral home's obituary page is the guarantee of consistent orders from friends and family members of the departed.

The solution to avoiding the up charges that local funeral homes add is to not order flowers through their website and instead research a local florist that delivers to that funeral home and order directly through their website.  This will allow you to bypass the funeral home upcharge for sympathy flowers.

In Columbia, Tennessee two of the largest funeral homes have removed links to the local florists on their websites.  They are selling flowers directly on their obituary page which means they have partnered with one local florist and are adding a surcharge on to that floral designer's normal prices.  The funeral home isn't providing any additional service for this charge.

If you are in need of funeral or sympathy flowers in Columbia, Tennessee please consider Bloomstall Flower Boutique.  We design thoughtful flower arrangements that are meant to be taken home by family members after the funeral service.  Many large floral sprays and casket palls wind up in the trash right after the funeral.  With a take home arrangement, the family is able to enjoy the flowers longer.
