Services get planned fast. You find out on Tuesday that the funeral is Thursday. Or a family member calls from across the country and asks you to handle the flowers for a service tomorrow. Or you just had more on your plate than you expected, and now time is short.
This happens constantly. It's not unusual, and it's not a problem. But there are a few things you need to know about ordering funeral flowers on short notice so you don't waste time going in the wrong direction.
The short version: Call us at (360) 984-8059 right now. Don't fill out a form. Don't send an email. A phone call is the only way to confirm a short-notice order the same day. We pick up.
How Much Notice Do You Actually Need?
The honest answer is: it depends on how early in the day you call and what you need.
For next-day delivery, calling by mid-afternoon the day before gives us the most options. We can source flowers, build the arrangements, and coordinate delivery timing with the funeral home or venue. Orders confirmed by early afternoon tend to go smoothly.
For same-day delivery, the earlier the better. If the service is at 2pm and you call us at 8am, there's a real chance we can make it work. If you call at noon for a 1pm service, that's much harder. But call anyway — we will always tell you honestly what is and isn't possible.
What we will never do is let you sit on hold or wait for a callback on a short-notice order. When you call, you reach us directly, and we will give you a straight answer on the spot.
What to Have Ready When You Call
You don't need to have everything figured out. But having these three things will help us move fast:
- Date and time of the service. Even an approximate time helps. If you know "afternoon" but not the exact hour, that's fine to start.
- Venue name and location. Funeral home, church, cemetery, or private address. If you're not sure of the exact name, describe it and we'll figure it out.
- A rough budget. Even a range — "somewhere around $1,000" or "whatever a casket spray and one standing piece costs" — lets us give you a price on the call without back and forth.
If you don't have all three, call anyway. We will walk you through it.
Will the Flowers Look the Same on Short Notice?
Usually, yes. For most short-notice orders, we can source what we need and the finished arrangements look the same as any other order. Every arrangement is built by hand specifically for your service.
The one difference: if you need very specific flowers that require advance ordering — certain rare varieties, specific imported blooms — availability may be more limited. For a short-notice order we will work with what we have and tell you honestly what's possible.
Most families ordering on short notice are surprised at how normal the result looks. The urgency is ours to manage, not yours to worry about.
Is There an Extra Fee for Short-Notice Orders?
No. We do not charge a rush fee. The price we quote you on the call is what you pay. Delivery and on-site setup are included in every order, same as always.
What Happens After You Call
Once we confirm the order, you are done. We coordinate directly with the funeral home or venue, build the arrangements, deliver them before the service, place everything ourselves, and text you a photo when the room is ready. You do not need to make another call or follow up with anyone.
Most short-notice families tell us that the thing they were most stressed about ended up being one of the easiest parts of the week. That is the goal.
Time-sensitive? Call Right Now.

A Note for Families Coordinating From Out of Town
We work with out-of-town family members regularly — someone back home trying to arrange flowers for a service happening in Clark County. This is straightforward. Call or text us, give us the venue details and a card for payment, and we handle everything on the ground. We will send you photos when the room is set up so you can see it even if you can't be there.
