Strodes Mills Pennsylvania Cemetery

 

I felt kind of weird at first ordering flower displays for a funeral over the Internet. It's interesting what kind of preconceptions we have about such things. I was always under the impression that it would somehow "mean more" if I were to do that in person at a flower shop. Well, I went to a number of flower shops before going online to order from you, and it didn't feel right getting the hard-sell from them. That might be unfair because they're in business to sell flowers, but still, that's how I felt. I wasn't all that close with my Uncle Tommy, but it's sad when anyone dies, so I can only imagine how someone must feel talking to salespeople who are constantly trying to "sell them up" to more and more expensive pieces. I don't mean to sound like I dislike salespeople. But it's just easier in the long run to come to these decisions on your own. I ended up ordering the cross with the red stripe, and I got a lot of positive comments on it. Thanks for providing a service like this that people can trust.(Soren D., Juana Diaz PR )

I was going to send just flowers, but I saw the fruit baskets on your website, and I thought why not? My family is in Buffalo, and they don't get a lot of fresh fruit in the winter. Boy did I hear about how much they liked it!(Catherine L. , Peoria IL )

I was so relieved when I heard that the flower delivery was on time for my grandparents' anniversary. I wasn't able to be there, but the flowers showed I was there in spirit.(Pauline V., Jackson MS )

There's something about giving flowers that makes it worthwhile to be friends with people. That sounded strange. But I guess in a way it's true. I was struck by this sentiment when I looked at how your website was organized. There are many different types of arrangements and many different arrangements within those types. It got me to thinking about how people react to flowers and how they react to the people who send them. I think you've tapped into something here, about how people react to flowers and in what context they receive them probably affects how they are received. Not good vs. bad, but professional vs. romantic. That kind of thing. I think you are doing a great service by causing people to think about these things.(Jessica O., Florence AL )

It's so fantastic that I can call up your website, where you're based in the States, and have you deliver a couple of plants to a great friend in L.A. on the occasion of completing her chemotherapy. I love that you're actually in the U.S., and that I can send gifts directly to other people over there with a kind of confidence one normally doesn't feel when using the internet. I appreciate it deeply and thank you for doing such a wonderful job.(Mary K. , Bray , Ireland)

Strodes Mills Pennsylvania Delivery

 

How great was Mother's Day this year? I sent two, count 'em, two sets of roses to my mother this time. Once on the week before to announce my arrival, and once to arrive on Saturday at my hotel so I could bring them over. They were extremely fresh and had a wonderful scent (which my mother commented on also). The whole week was a wonderful experience. Thanks.(Gloria G., Gainesville GA )

As a society, we tend to send flowers out of feelings of guilt for not being in a place we would normally be. Before the advent of automobiles and airplanes, we wouldn't stray too far from home (except in a few cases), and so we didn't have a need for sending gifts through the mail, or the Internet, or using FTD, or some other wire service. But we are products of our times, and because even nuclear families are so far flung, and because husbands and wives often live and work on different continents from one another, we have this need to send gifts to one anther in lieu of being there. What we're acknowledging is that we usually do what we can to make compromises between how we would like to live and how we would like to be close to one another. It's apparently socially acceptable to be apart like this as long as we can send each other things that remind us of this emotional connection even though there's no physical connection. ROCK ON, BROTHER!!!(Rey V. , Nagoya , Japan)

I really cherish the memories that Valentine's Day has given me throughout the years. This year was no exception, as I sent a vase of your roses to my partner of fifteen years while she was at work. I guess we both had the same idea, because she just happened to send me roses from your website. What are the odds that two people would use the same place to send the same kinds of flowers to one another on the same day? We're more alike than I thought.(Susan L. , Westminster MD )

I don't know the first thing about flowers but the lady in your florist shop helped me buy a lovely flower bouquet for my wife's birthday. If you can teach me to appreciate flowers, you can teach anyone!(Raymond Terrace, Tucson AZ )

As a busy working couple my husband and I don’t often have time to spend together outside of evenings and weekends. The flower delivery to my office last Thursday took me totally by surprise and I must admit to shedding a brief tear of joy, although I won’t be telling that to my staff! Thank you very much.(Sapphire L. Hancock, Augusta GA )
