We live in a small rural town, with one flower shop, and I have just never thought of any other option when sending flowers. Just call the local shop and order what I need. And, for around town, that is probably still the logical choice. But, we just had a family member die a few weeks ago — and the family lives out of town. Out of state, as a matter of fact. Flower Shop.com would have been a good alternative to sending Funeral flowers. You can see in beautiful pictures just what you are ordering, with same day delivery,tax free shopping, and 100% satisfaction guaranteed or they will replace your order.
