Choosing funeral flowers: formats and prices in Switzerland

A spray has an elongated outline; a wreath forms a ring; a cushion creates a compact tribute. Think about how the flowers will be placed, and ask the funeral director if the venue has any requirements.

These are Kanel catalogue prices, not national averages. Size and model explain the different options. For example, the classic white spray costs CHF 255 at 80 cm, CHF 395 at 100 cm and CHF 555 at 120 cm. Other classic models reach CHF 695; rose sprays range from CHF 395 to 995.

If you are visiting the family at home, a condolence bouquet is usually easier to receive and place in a vase.

For colleagues, friends or a large family, one arrangement can carry a shared message. Agree on the total first, then choose someone to place the order and collect the names. Keep the wording short enough for everyone to approve without repeated changes.

A classic spray at CHF 255 with a CHF 35 ribbon totals CHF 290: CHF 58 each for five people. A CHF 355 wreath with the same ribbon totals CHF 390. Both examples include funeral delivery and exclude any other extras.

A ribbon is optional. It works well for a brief tribute or the name of a group, while the included Kanel card allows a more personal message. A separate condolence card is available at CHF 24.90. Read the final basket to check which extras you have selected.

Allow at least two days and choose an available date in the calendar, which opens up to 60 days ahead. Do not treat the minimum lead time as a guarantee that every date or delivery hour is available.

Before ordering, have these details ready

• The name of the person who died.
• The full venue address and Swiss postcode.
• The date and time of the service.
• Any instructions from the funeral director or venue.
• A contact number that can be answered on the delivery day.

When ordering from abroad, use the recipient’s Swiss address and check deadlines in Swiss time. If the service is very soon or the venue needs an exact arrival time, contact the team before paying. Ordinary bouquets sent to a home follow different delivery fees and deadlines.

You can begin with a format, a colour or a comfortable total budget. Check the product’s size, choose the available delivery date and reread the card or ribbon text, especially names.

Explore funeral flowers to compare the arrangements. If you are unsure about placement at the service, ask the venue first: that practical detail is more useful than guessing what you are expected to spend.
