The dad of a close family member passed away unexpectedly. We sent the "Designer's Choice" floral…read morearrangement to the McComas Funeral Home at 50 West Broadway Bel Air, Maryland, 21014.
We chose this tall elegant designer's arrangement and I asked Lisa Fiore to choose red, white, and blue flowers, because the deceased had been in the army and had also been a police officer after serving in the army, and we wanted to commemorate his commitment to service, and when I called I shared that I was fine with spending over the $150.00 price to include red roses, and no carnations or baby's breath, and to charge separately for the tax and delivery charge, along with adding gratuity.
In this arrangement, the serenity of the color blue and the purity of intention symbolized by white let our family know that we were sending our calm strength to them during these difficult times. Beautiful blooms included blue delphinium, white lilies, and alstroemeria, along with red roses, eucalyptus, limonium, and more, beautifully arranged in a dazzling cobalt blue vase.
I asked to include a second arrangement Two Dozen Long Stemmed Red Roses by BloomNation™ Custom Sympathy Arrangement - Premium for the deceased wife to take home after the services, with the red roses matching the red roses that were in the custom red, wite, and blue arrangement.
We read the reviews for the various local florists, and after reading the reviews, we selected "Flowers by Fiore". I called the florist, Lisa Fiore, by phone, and I wanted to be sure that the arrangements could be sent for the wake service, followed by the funeral the next day, and the reception post the cemetery. I was asked what I was looking for, and I went onto the web site and selected a tall elegant arrangement, so I could share specific flowers and colors that I was considering, along with purchased sympathy card for both arrangements, because there did not appear to be enough room on the card section on the web site. Lisa provided her email address so I could email the longer cards, mentioning all the family members by name.
Lisa Fiore and her team created two beautiful, thoughtful arrangements that accurately reflected the occasion's solemnity. Flowers by Fiore gets top praise for attentive customer service, timely delivery, and understanding my personal preferences during a difficult time. The florist was willing to incorporate meaningful flowers and colors to personalize the arrangement, making it a fitting tribute to the deceased. I very much appreciated the florist's empathy and care in creating two arrangements that were at the wake, the church service, reception after the burial, and the family's home after the services. The florist created the floral arrangements with attention to detail, beautiful colors, and fresh flowers in early April 2025. The sympathy arrangements were stunning and arrived on time at the funeral home. It was exactly what we needed to express our condolences during a difficult time. My family stated, "Your floral arrangements are magnificent, and the funeral home staff even commented on how beautiful they are."
Thank you so much for your efforts in creating two floral arrangements in an array of colors that represented the impact that the deceased had on so many family members and friends! Our sincere thanks!
