Can I send sympathy flowers same-day in Arlington?
+
Same-day options depend on the delivery ZIP, requested date, florist availability and that florist's local cutoff. Check the available options before paying; a city listing does not guarantee delivery today.
Which Arlington-area funeral homes do you deliver to?
+
All of the chapels inside the radius. Inside the county, Murphy Funeral Homes at 4510 Wilson Boulevard. In Falls Church, National Funeral Home at 7482 Lee Highway, adjoining National Memorial Park, and Murphy's second chapel. In Alexandria, Everly-Wheatley on West Braddock Road, Cunningham Turch on Cameron Street and Demaine, which also has Springfield and Fairfax chapels. Farther out, Money & King in Vienna and Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home on Braddock Road. Across the river, Joseph Gawler's Sons, Stewart Funeral Home, McGuire Funeral Service, Torchinsky Hebrew Funeral Home and Pumphrey's Bethesda-Chevy Chase. Give the chapel name, the deceased's full name and the service date at checkout.
How do flowers work for a service at Arlington National Cemetery?
+
Send them to the funeral home coordinating the service rather than to the cemetery. Arlington National Cemetery schedules its services centrally, most begin at the Old Post Chapel on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall or at the graveside and columbarium, and the procession runs on an exact clock across a very large property — a delivery runner cannot intercept it. The funeral director places the tribute with the casket or urn and moves it with the family. Full-honors interments are often scheduled months after the death, so many people send a home arrangement at the time of the loss and a second tribute to the chapel when the date finally arrives.
Can you deliver flowers to an Arlington-area gravesite?
+
Yes, for the cemeteries that accept direct delivery — Columbia Gardens Cemetery at 3411 Arlington Boulevard inside the county, National Memorial Park and King David Memorial Gardens in Falls Church, Fairfax Memorial Park, Mount Comfort Cemetery in Alexandria and Gate of Heaven in Silver Spring. Give the section and lot if you have it, and add a mobile number for a family member who will be on site. Every cemetery runs its own rules on what may be left at a marker and for how long, and national cemeteries are stricter than private ones, so confirm current guidance with the cemetery office or the funeral director before ordering a gravesite piece.
What do the different faith traditions in Arlington expect?
+
Catholic services through the Diocese of Arlington — the Cathedral of St. Thomas More, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Agnes, St. Ann, Our Lady Queen of Peace — take standing tributes at the funeral home and the church, with the family usually keeping one arrangement for the graveside. Jewish families at Congregation Etz Hayim or Temple Rodef Shalom typically bury quickly and do not use flowers at the funeral; a plant or a food gift sent to the shiva home afterward is the appropriate gesture. Muslim families at Dar Al-Hijrah bury promptly and generally do not use funeral flowers. Ethiopian Orthodox households along Columbia Pike often mark a 40-day memorial where a later arrangement is welcome.
Can you deliver sympathy flowers to a hospital palliative floor?
+
Yes, with the floor's rules applied. VHC Health at 1701 North George Mason Drive is Arlington's own hospital; Inova Alexandria on Seminary Road and Inova Fairfax on Gallows Road in Falls Church cover the Virginia side; across the bridges the routes run to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, MedStar Georgetown, GW Hospital, Sibley Memorial, Howard University Hospital and the DC VA Medical Center. Palliative and ICU units are treated as lily-free, low-pollen and scent-free by default, and some units accept nothing living at all. Call the unit or ask us to send to the family's home instead — for a dying patient's room, a small plant usually serves better than a large tribute.
