Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
Why should I order directly from Aspen Tower Florist instead of a national floral website?
Ordering directly from us guarantees you get full value for your money. National floral websites take a large portion of what you pay as fees, leaving less for the actual flowers. When you buy local, you get fresher stems, fuller arrangements, and direct communication with the designer creating your piece. No middlemen. No cut corners.
How much experience do your designers have?
Our shop manager/ lead designer earned numerous awards early in her career and has brought nearly 37 years experience as a master designer to Greensburg. With 26 years in the retail floral industry, her background spans all mediums of floral design -- fresh, silk, and dried arrangements -- along with traditional and contemporary design, floral history, seasonal sourcing, funeral, sympathy, and wedding etiquette, and custom event work.
With decades of real-world experience, she understands not only how flowers look, but how they perform, how they hold up, and how they should be constructed for each specific occasion. It's not just designing -- it's engineering, done with purpose and care for the people receiving it.
Do you offer same day delivery in Greensburg, Indiana?

We also deliver regularly to Westport, Osgood, Napoleon, Sunman, Batesville, Oldenburg, Clarksburg, Milroy, Andersonville, Rushville, St. Paul, Shelbyville, Waldron, and Hope with occasional deliveries to funeral homes in North Vernon and Columbus. Funeral and sympathy pieces are always prioritized to meet visitation and service times.
Can I request specific flowers or colors?
Yes! Any arrangement on our website can be customized to your preferred colors or specific flowers. As long as the flowers you request are in season or available through our suppliers; we will make every effort to create your arrangement just like the photo -- or redesign it in the color palette or flower varieties you prefer. If something is unavailable, we'll recommend the closest high-quality alternative to maintain the overall look and feel of your design.
Will the arrangement look exactly like the photo?
In most cases, yes! We design every order to match the photo as closely as possible. If a specific flower or color isn't available, we make minimal substitutions while keeping the overall style, shape and feel of the arrangement exactly the same.
If an arrangement requires major substitutions, we will contact you before designing it. If it's only one or two small changes, we use our best judgment to keep the design consistent with what you chose. Our goal is always: same look, same impact, same quality.
What should I send to a funeral or memorial service?
Choosing the right piece depends on several factors -- your relationship to the family, the tone of the service, and even traditions that surround the person who passed. Some families prefer classic, traditional funeral etiquette with standing sprays or formal baskets. Others, especially in more modern or younger celebrations of life, may choose a more personal theme, from tributes to hobbies and interests, music, or inspired colors and styles.
Common and meaningful options include standing sprays, traditional baskets, plants, dish-garden planters, and keepsake tributes such as lanterns, angels, windchimes, or memorial throws. Each has a specific purpose and placement within the service.
If you're unsure what's appropriate, we guide you through every step so your tribute matches the family's style, respects the occasion, and reflects your relationship in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
Can you explain funeral flower etiquette?
Yes. This is one of our specialties. Funeral and sympathy etiquette can feel confusing, especially when every family honors their loved one differently. We help you understand what pieces are traditionally sent by immediate family, extended family, coworkers, friends, church groups, and organizations.
We can explain how each item is used at the service -- where standing sprays are placed, how traditional baskets are arranged, what keepsakes are typically displayed, and which tributes are most meaningful depending on your relationship to the family.
We also walk you through modern trends, including celebrations of life, themed services, younger memorials, and non-traditional displays. Whether the service is deeply traditional or completely personalized, we guide you toward and arrangement that is respectful, appropriate, and sincerely fitting.
Do you deliver to churches, funeral homes, hospitals, and nursing homes?
Yes! We deliver to all churches, funeral home, hospitals, assisted living communities, nursing homes, and other health care facilities in Greensburg, and the surrounding areas.
We offer a special delivery rate for funeral services, hospital patients, and residents of nursing or assisted living facilities. Deliveries to staff or business offices are subject to our standard delivery fee.
All orders are coordinated with the facility to ensure proper timing and accurate placement.
Can I add gifts or keepsakes to my flower order?
Yes. Before checkout, you'll see and Add-Ons section where you can include chocolates, balloons, plush animals, jewelry or other items we may have available.
