For our freshest, most beautiful blooms, please shop our Florist’s Choice options, as we may be experiencing
delays in receiving shipments of certain flower types.
Please note that for all other orders, we may need to replace stems so we can deliver the freshest bouquet possible, and we may have to use a different vase.
We promise to always deliver a fresh, beautiful, and completely one-of-a-kind gift of the same or greater value as what you selected.

For the funeral service itself, standing sprays and wreaths are traditional - they're made to display at funeral homes. For the family's home, choose smaller plants or arrangements that won't overwhelm their space. White flowers are classic for sympathy, but if you knew their favorite color or flowers, those can be even more meaningful. Fort Lee Florist helps Fort Lee families choose appropriate tributes every day. When in doubt, a simple white arrangement with a heartfelt note never goes wrong.
Both are appropriate, just different purposes. Funeral home flowers are public tributes - everyone sees them during the service. They're formal and show respect. Home delivery is more personal - it's for the family during those quiet, difficult days after. Many people in Fort Lee do both: a formal arrangement for the service and a plant or smaller bouquet for home later. Fort Lee Florist can coordinate both deliveries. If you can only do one, consider your relationship - close friends might prefer the personal home gesture.
Absolutely, especially if they reflect the person who passed. Traditional sympathy uses whites and purples, but celebration-of-life services often feature bright colors. If they loved sunflowers or pink roses, send those. Some families specifically request colorful arrangements to celebrate a life well-lived rather than mourn. Fort Lee Florist has created rainbow arrangements for children, team color themes for sports fans, and garden-style bouquets for gardeners. Ask the family if you're unsure, but meaningful often beats traditional.
Keep it simple and sincere. Thinking of you during this difficult time, With deepest sympathy, or Holding you in my heart all work. Share a memory if you have one - Ill always remember her laugh means more than generic condolences. Avoid theyre in a better place unless you know that brings them comfort. Fort Lee Florist includes cards with all Fort Lee sympathy deliveries. Sometimes just Im so sorry for your loss and your name is enough. Don't overthink it - your presence through flowers already says you care.
