Top 7 Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Condolence Flowers (Flower for Funeral)

1. When should I send flowers for a funeral?

The ideal time to send funeral flowers in Singapore is during the wake. The funeral wake is often put up soon following the embalming of the body and the placement of the body in a casket. Funeral wakes can be hosted in a variety of locations, including churches, funeral homes, grieving families' homes, community centres, and void decks.

Funeral wakes are generally when funeral flowers in Singapore are given. It should be noted that sending condolence flowers post-funeral is not customary in Singapore.

From Mondays to Sundays, including public holidays, 24Hrs City Florist offers same-day funeral flower delivery in Singapore.

2. What kind of funeral flowers do we suggest?

There are a variety of flowers for funerals - from flower beds to condolence wreaths in Singapore. The following are common forms of funeral flowers to send in Asia, including Singapore:

• Funeral flower or condolence stand (flowers traditionally arranged and exhibited on a box stand).
• Cross wreaths, also known as funeral cross stands, are flowers placed in a cross shape.

Types of funeral flowers

In terms of colour scheme, the most typical flowers for funeral are white with green foliage or simply white. White flowers are popular because they convey innocence, peace, elegance, and beauty. Funeral flowers with a splash of colour, such as purple or yellow, are also very popular.

Chrysanthemums are a common flower for condolence stands. Lilies are another popular choice for funeral flowers in Singapore because they represent the departed's soul being restored to innocence after death. Other flowers for funerals include orchids, white carnations, white gerberas, and white roses.

More information about the types of flowers used as condolence flowers may be found on our website's blog page.

3. What flower for funeral is suitable for recipients of specific religions, such as Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, etc.?

Aside from the funeral flower cross that may be delivered to Catholic or Christian families, there are no specific types of funeral flowers for any faith. However, sending solely cross stands or cross wreaths to a Catholic or Christian home is not obligatory. You are also welcome to send any generic funeral flower stands.

Similarly, we are able to deliver standard funeral flower stands to the funeral home or wake for Buddhist and Hindu funerals. However, for Muslim funerals, prayers are held with no funeral flowers sent.

4. What funeral message should I write?

5. Is the funeral flower stand available for same-day delivery?

Yes, we offer same-day funeral flower delivery if orders are submitted before 8 p.m. Please keep in mind that during COVID-19 Circuit Breaker, same-day delivery orders must be submitted by 5 p.m.

6. How do I go about ordering funeral wreath flowers for a funeral?

You may purchase flowers for funerals online from our website by choosing the funeral flower arrangement you prefer, along with the delivery time and date. Afterwards, you may proceed to the next page to fill out the relevant information before checking out and making payment by credit card, eNets, or PayPal.

7. How long will the flowers last?

Flowers for funerals often last a few days, depending on how they are stored or maintained. These funeral flowers will typically last longer in an air-conditioned area with relatively high humidity than in a hot and dry one. Since most funeral flowers are organised in floral shapes and soaked in water, a dry and hot climate will hasten the drying out of the foam and require less water for the cut flowers. The variety of flowers chosen makes a difference as well. Blooms from chrysanthemum species endure longer than flowers from temperate climates such as Europe/Australia.

We offer funeral flower delivery across Singapore. Orders placed before 5 p.m. daily, including Sundays and holidays, will be delivered the same day. Please order before 12 p.m. for same-day afternoon delivery.
