Funeral Flowers Estimator

Add up the cost of funeral flowers before you order. Choose the arrangements you want, enter the price your florist quoted for each, and add delivery and sales tax to see a total. There is no standard national price list for flowers, so this tool starts blank and uses only the quotes you type in.

Delivery charge (optional)

Total for all deliveries, from your quote.

Sales tax rate (optional)

Applied to the arrangements only. Enter your local rate.

Flower budget (optional)

To see whether the order fits what you want to spend.

Estimated flower cost

Add at least one arrangement to begin.

Prices aren't pre-filled, because flower prices vary by florist, region, season and the flowers chosen. Get quotes from two florists, and ask the funeral home what it would charge for the same pieces.

How this estimate works

For each type of arrangement, you set how many you want and enter the price per piece from a florist's quote. The tool multiplies, adds any delivery charge, and applies the sales tax rate you enter to the arrangements. If you set a budget, it shows how much is left or how far over you are.

Prices aren't pre-filled on purpose. What a casket spray or wreath costs depends on the florist, your area, the season and the flowers chosen, and we haven't found an authoritative national survey of funeral flower prices. If you add a piece without a price, the tool lists it as not yet counted instead of guessing.

Ordering from the funeral home or a florist

You can order flowers through the funeral home or directly from a florist. The prices may differ, so ask both for a quote on the same pieces.

Under the FTC Funeral Rule, flowers are one of the “cash advance items” a funeral home may buy for you. If it charges you more than it paid, or receives a commission or rebate, it can't tell you the price is the same as its cost. Cash advance items don't appear on the General Price List. They are listed, with each price, on the statement of funeral goods and services you receive once your arrangements are set.

If you order from a florist, give them the funeral home's name and address, the date and time of the service, and the name of the person who died, and ask how much notice they need.

Ways to keep flower costs down

Get written quotes from at least two florists before you choose.
Order fewer, larger pieces instead of many small ones, if that suits the service.
Ask the florist which flowers are in season, since they are usually easier to source.
Ask friends and coworkers to pool money for one arrangement.
Suggest a donation “in lieu of flowers” in the obituary, if the family prefers. See alternatives to funeral flowers for other ideas.

Flowers are only one line in the whole bill. To see the rest, use the funeral cost calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How much do funeral flowers cost?

There is no single national price. Cost depends on the type and size of the arrangement, the flowers, the season, your location and whether delivery is charged. Get written quotes from two florists and enter them in the estimator.

Are funeral flowers cheaper from a florist or the funeral home?

It varies, so compare. A funeral home can charge more than it pays for flowers, but under the FTC Funeral Rule it must not say the price equals its cost if it does. Ask both for a price on the same pieces.

Do flowers appear on the funeral home's General Price List?

No. Flowers bought through the funeral home are cash advance items. They aren't on the General Price List but must be itemized, with prices, on the statement of funeral goods and services you receive after you finalize arrangements.

What does "in lieu of flowers" mean?

It means the family asks guests to give to a charity or cause instead of sending flowers. If a family states this preference, follow it.

Does this estimate include tax and delivery?

Only if you enter them. Add your delivery charge and local sales tax rate. Delivery is added as entered, so include any tax on it in the amount. Your florist's written quote is the final figure.
