During a loss, the right flowers can say what words often can't. They show up when you don't know what else to do. They fill a room with something living and beautiful at a time when things feel anything but. At Evans Flowers, we've been helping North Shore families send sympathy arrangements for generations — and we handle every one of these orders with extra care.
Call us at 978-531-0047 or visit us at 49 Warren Street in Peabody. We're here to help you figure out exactly what to send.
What We Offer
We make sympathy arrangements in every style and at every price point, including:
Standing sprays — Large, elegant arrangements displayed on easels near the casket or altar. Often sent by extended family, close friends, and organizations. Traditional choices include white lilies, roses, and mixed seasonal blooms.
Casket blankets and covers — Low arrangements designed to rest on the casket during the service. These are typically chosen by immediate family and are among the most significant tributes at a service.
Vase and basket arrangements — Bouquets that can be placed anywhere at the funeral home and taken home by the family afterward. These are always appropriate regardless of your relationship to the deceased — and families consistently tell us they're grateful to have something beautiful to bring home.
Set pieces — Custom floral designs in meaningful shapes: hearts, crosses, wreaths, and more. Often chosen by close family or to reflect religious or personal significance.
Plants for the home — Peace lilies, orchids, and blooming plants are a lasting alternative to cut flowers. They're especially meaningful when sent to the family's home in the days following a service.
Same-Day Delivery to Funeral Homes Across the North Shore
We deliver directly to funeral homes, churches, and residences throughout the North Shore — and we coordinate with the funeral home staff to make sure everything arrives at the right place at the right time.
