Most models come in three sizes. The “from” price is the smallest size; the top of the range is the largest. Larger sizes are fuller and more visible in a church or chapel.
What drives the price
Funeral pieces cost more than an ordinary bouquet for a few reasons:
- Size and density. A wreath or heart needs many more stems than a hand-tied bouquet, set into a structured base.
- Handwork. Each piece is composed by hand. At KANEL, they are made to order by florists in the workshop in Vernier (Geneva), with no stock.
- Flower choice. Pieces made entirely of roses (rose spray, heart of roses) are the most expensive.
- Delivery to the venue. Delivery to a church, crematorium or cemetery on a precise day is part of the service; at KANEL it is included free of charge.
How much to budget by relationship
There is no right amount, and no one at the ceremony compares prices. Still, it helps to know what is traditional. The table below shows common choices, not obligations.
| Relationship | Typical format | Typical KANEL budget |
|---|---|---|
| Spouse or partner | Heart (often roses) or spray on the coffin | CHF 255–1,155 |
| Children, parents | Heart, spray or wreath | CHF 255–795 |
| Wider family | Spray or wreath, often shared | CHF 255–795 |
| Close friend | Spray or cushion | CHF 155–695 |
| Neighbour, acquaintance | Cushion | CHF 155–555 |
| Colleagues, company | Wreath or spray, shared | CHF 255–895 |
| Association, club | Wreath or spray | CHF 255–795 |
Add CHF 35 if you want a personalised ribbon.
Sharing the cost
Groups of friends, siblings or colleagues often share one larger piece rather than each sending something small. A classic wreath from CHF 355 plus a ribbon at CHF 35, shared among eight people, comes to under CHF 50 each. See our guide to funeral flowers from colleagues for tips on organising a shared gift.

Hidden costs to watch for
When comparing funeral flowers in general, check whether:
- delivery is included or charged on top (at KANEL it is free);
- the displayed price is for the smallest size (at KANEL, “from” prices are the smallest of three sizes);
- the ribbon and card are extra (at KANEL, CHF 35 and CHF 24.90);
- there is a surcharge for a specific delivery time or for delivering to a cemetery.
Paying
KANEL accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, TWINT and Alma, which allows payment in instalments. This can help when a larger piece is needed at short notice.

- a card with a heartfelt message (see condolence messages for flowers), which can mean as much as flowers;
- respecting a family’s request for donations instead of flowers.
