Flower Delivery to a Funeral: How Handover at the Ceremony Works: Strašnice, Motol and Olšany
A final farewell is a moment when absolutely every detail matters. In a time of deep grief, logistics is the last thing a family or mourners should have to deal with. At KvětinyExpres.cz we specialise closely in funeral floristry and its transport. Every day we arrange safe flower delivery to funeral services at Prague's largest halls and churches.
Here is a detailed guide to exactly how the handover works, why our location is a huge advantage, and what not to forget so your tribute proceeds with the utmost dignity.
Why Trust Us with Flower Delivery to a Funeral? (Our Advantages)
Transporting large funeral bouquets and wreaths in an ordinary car is very demanding and often risks damaging the flowers. We take this stress off your hands:
-
The funeral ribbon is included: Our funeral bouquets and wreaths automatically include a ribbon with your personal print as part of the floral tribute. You don't pay extra for it – it's a standard part of our service.
-
Strategic location (Strašnice and Olšany): Our physical shop and floristry studio is located just 100 metres from the main gate of the Strašnice crematorium and less than 1 kilometre from the vast Olšany Cemeteries. The flowers don't have to travel across Prague and arrive on site in literally a few minutes, in 100% condition.
-
Our own Airway fleet: We operate our own specially adapted, air-conditioned vehicles. Large wreaths are transported secured in an upright position so the ribbons don't crease and the flowers don't break.
How Does Delivery to the Ceremony Work at Prague Crematoriums?
Many customers ask whether flowers are handed directly to the family. In professional halls, the process is standardised so that no one disturbs the family: we always hand the flowers to the crematorium staff behind the scenes (at the donations reception window). The venue staff then take care of arranging the funeral bouquets beautifully by the casket before the first mourners even enter the hall.
For the staff to know who the flowers are for, it's essential to state the exact name of the deceased and the time of the ceremony when ordering.
Here are the specifics of our most common locations:

1. Strašnice Crematorium (Great and Small Ceremonial Halls)
Thanks to our location (100 metres from the crematorium), Strašnice is our home turf. We guarantee absolute precision here.
-
Delivery to the venue: Our courier hands the flowers well ahead of time directly to the hall staff (or the floral tribute collection point).
-
Personal pickup: If you're travelling to the ceremony by car or tram, you can order the flowers online and pick them up at our branch just a few minutes before the service, on your way to the crematorium.
2. Olšany Cemeteries and the Central Ceremonial Hall
The Olšany grounds are vast (the largest burial site in the Czech Republic) and contain several ceremonial venues, including the New Ceremonial Hall and historic chapels.
-
Precision and local knowledge: We are located within 1 km of the grounds. Thanks to our thorough knowledge of Olšany, our couriers know exactly which gate and which chapel to head to. For church services, we hand the flowers directly to the parish administrator or vicar.
3. Motol Crematorium
The Motol crematorium, set within a tranquil forest park, has its own strict logistical requirements.
-
Timing is crucial: Motol often holds several services in quick succession. That's why we always deliver large funeral wreaths and bouquets at least 60 minutes ahead of time, so the crematorium staff have time to sort them safely and prepare them for the correct catafalque.
Will I Know the Flowers Arrived on Time? (Instant Confirmation)
We know that on the day of a funeral you're going through a difficult time and may not be able to attend the ceremony in person. That's why you want 100% certainty that your final farewell arrived safely. At KvětinyExpres.cz, for your peace of mind, we use modern technology:
-
Courier mobile app: The moment the flowers are handed to the staff at the crematorium, our courier confirms delivery directly in their terminal.
-
Instant message for you: This information is logged into our system in real time, and you immediately receive an email or SMS confirming your funeral tribute was delivered successfully.
This removes all uncertainty, so you can quietly focus on remembrance. Leave the logistics worries to us.
