When you’re sending roses for a funeral or a sympathy moment, the question isn’t only “what’s the price?” It’s also: will it arrive on time, look respectful, and stay fresh through the service?
Below is a practical guide to the typical cost of one dozen roses in a funeral context, plus the factors that change the final total.
Loose stems (DIY or grocery-style): $15–$40
Wrapped dozen bouquet (no vase): $35–$75
Vase arrangement (standard florist design): $65–$125
Premium or designer dozen (upgraded stems, fuller style, higher-end finish): $125–$250+
Funeral deliveries most often fall into the vase arrangement or premium range because presentation and reliability matter more in time-sensitive moments.
Funeral homes and service locations usually have specific delivery windows and placement rules. Timing is important. This added coordination is part of the cost.
For sympathy, a dozen roses is rarely “just roses.” Florist designs often include greens, filler, and a structured layout so it looks balanced and formal on arrival.
Higher-grade roses tend to have stronger stems, larger heads, and better vase life. In funeral settings, longevity and freshness are a bigger priority.
Prices typically rise during Valentine’s week, Mother’s Day week, and peak wedding season. The same dozen can cost significantly more during these periods.
White roses are commonly associated with peace, remembrance, and honor.
Pink roses often convey gentleness, gratitude, and warmth.
Red roses can represent deep love and respect, often chosen by close family.
Yellow roses can symbolize friendship and support, best when the relationship fits.
If you’re unsure, white or soft pink is usually the safest and most universally appropriate choice.
A wrapped dozen (no vase) is a good choice when the flowers are going to the family’s home and the recipient can place them in a vase. It can also be a more budget-friendly option.
A vase arrangement is usually best for funeral homes and service locations because it arrives ready-to-display and looks complete immediately. It also reduces stress for the recipient.
For most funeral deliveries, a vase arrangement is the safest option.
