Sympathy flowers in Springfield

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.

Greenlawn Funeral Home East, Greenlawn North on North National and Greenlawn South on West Battlefield; Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home at 1947 East Seminole; and Herman H. Lohmeyer Funeral Home at 500 East Walnut downtown. Because Greenlawn operates three separate Springfield chapels, please name the one you mean — an order addressed only to Greenlawn is the single most common misdelivery in this market, and the three buildings are on opposite sides of town. Family-owned chapels in the ring towns — Republic, Nixa, Ozark, Willard, Strafford, Marshfield and Bolivar — are inside the 60-mile radius; give us the chapel name and street and we will route from the nearest shop.

Four things. The full name of the person who died, because that is what the funeral director matches the delivery against — not the buyer's name and not the family surname if it differs. The exact chapel, church or cemetery, including which Greenlawn location if it is Greenlawn. The date and start time of the visitation or service. And a phone number for you, in case the chapel has moved the room or the time. If the family has asked for flowers to go to the house instead, give us the residential address and the best window; we will not leave a sympathy arrangement unattended on a porch in July heat or in a January freeze.

Yes. Springfield National Cemetery at 1702 East Seminole and the Missouri Veterans Cemetery on South Southwood Road both run committals on a scheduled sequence, so a graveside piece needs to be there before the family assembles rather than arriving mid-service — give us the committal time and we will build the run backward from it. Both cemeteries set their own rules about what may remain on a grave and for how long, so one call to the cemetery office before ordering is worth it. For the open ground south of town in winter, a compact garden basket or planted piece holds up in Ozarks wind far better than a tall cut arrangement.

The listed arrangements in this selection start at $58.44. Delivery charges, taxes and optional extras are confirmed for the selected florist and recipient before payment.

Yes, and in Springfield that is common. This is the headquarters city of the Assemblies of God, at 1445 North Boonville, and many memorial services here are held in a sanctuary rather than a chapel — Central Assembly near the denominational offices, the James River Church main campus in Ozark, St. Agnes Cathedral on South Jefferson as the seat of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, or Christ Episcopal Church on East Walnut downtown. Church buildings are often unstaffed outside office hours, so tell us the service time and whether someone from the family or the church office will be there to take the delivery.

Yes. Springfield is the referral hub for southwest Missouri, so the room is often the place a family is actually sitting: Cox South at 3801 South National, Mercy Hospital Springfield at 1235 East Cherokee, and Cox North at 1423 North Jefferson. For palliative, oncology and intensive-care floors we default to lily-free, low-pollen designs and to a compact vessel that a nurse does not have to manage, and we ask the buyer to confirm with the unit before we send anything scented. If the patient may be discharged or transferred within a day or two, send to the family's home address instead — the flowers will otherwise chase an empty room.

This is a large share of Springfield sympathy volume — families here scatter to Kansas City, St. Louis, Dallas and Denver and come back for services. Order from anywhere, give us the chapel or church and the service time in Central time, and the nearest of the four shops takes it. You get delivery confirmation by email, and your hand-written card goes with the arrangement at no charge. The 60-mile radius means a service in Republic, Nixa, Ozark, Willard, Marshfield, Bolivar, Aurora, Monett, Mt. Vernon or Lebanon is reachable, though an outer-radius service wants a morning order, not one placed in the last half hour before cutoff.
