To ask for help - flowers, tomorrow!

There has been a mix up with flowers for a close family member’s funeral tomorrow.
We now have no flowers to take.
Is there anywhere anyone can recommend that would deliver something suitable for a funeral before noon tomorrow? We are Midlands.

If I was you I'd stop at a florist en route and explain your predicament, I am sure they will create something for you there and then.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. What a pickle. If you're looking for a specific reco, I think you'll need to name where the funeral would be. More generally get on Facebook and search for local florists. You may find a small independent who is online at this time. Otherwise I would note down numbers for florist shops you could call first thing. Failing all else, stop by a supermarket and buy the biggest bunch you can en route.

Sorry for your loss. I think it’s quite late now for proper flower arrangements. I would stop by a florist first thing, explain and maybe get some hand tied easy arrangements you can just take from the shop. Get some simple but classy flowers and it can look lovely.

Can you either phone a florist near the funeral venue so that they could have some ready for you, or might you make a donation to a charity that your loved one would have supported or that helps research if they died of a specific condition.
Lots of florists selling Christmas wreaths now too, one of those might be suitable.
Sorry for your loss and for extra stress on top of it.

I'd read it as you didn't have flowers to take bit not sure if the predicament is that without your flowers there won't be any? The funeral venue or funeral director might be able to help, they will know local florists.
