Choosing funeral flowers: formats and prices in Switzerland
A practical guide to a thoughtful tribute, with clear prices and time to arrange delivery.
Choosing funeral flowers can feel difficult when there is already so much to organize. At Kanel, sprays start at CHF 255, wreaths at CHF 355 and cushions at CHF 155. Delivery of funeral arrangements is included throughout Switzerland, with at least two days’ notice.
Start with the family’s wishes and where the flowers will be received. You do not need to prove how much someone mattered through the size or price of an arrangement. A considered choice and a few personal words are enough.
Compare the shape, not just the price
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.
| Format | Shape and use | Kanel price range |
|---|---|---|
| Funeral spray | Elongated tribute for the service | CHF 255–995 |
| Wreath | Circular arrangement for a formal tribute | CHF 355–895 |
| Heart | Heart-shaped expression of affection | CHF 255–1155 |
| Cushion | Compact arrangement for the service | CHF 155–555 |
| Funeral arrangement | An alternative floral composition | CHF 255–455 |
These are Kanel catalog 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.

Choosing a format and a color
No rule says wreaths are for relatives and cushions for friends. Choose a format you feel comfortable sending, after checking the funeral notice for any wishes. If the family asks for donations instead of flowers, follow that request.
White and cream make a quiet tribute, but the person’s favorite color may feel more personal. If you remember their garden, a particular flower or a color they loved, mention it when you ask for advice. What is possible still depends on the arrangement you choose and the season.

Funeral flowers to consider
Compare the available designs and check the dimensions of your chosen variant.
View funeral flowersSharing the cost of one arrangement
Colleagues, friends or a large family can send one arrangement with a shared message. Agree on the total first, then pick one person to place the order and collect the names. Keep the wording short so everyone can approve it quickly.
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. Check the final basket to see which extras you have added.

Arrange delivery before the service
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. Our page on sending funeral flowers to Switzerland explains the steps from another country. 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.
Choose a tribute you can send with confidence
You can begin with a format, a color 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.
