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.

RelationshipTypical formatTypical KANEL budget
Spouse or partnerHeart (often roses) or spray on the coffinCHF 255–1,155
Children, parentsHeart, spray or wreathCHF 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.

Lead time

Funeral pieces are made to order, so KANEL asks for at least 48 hours before the ceremony; bookings can be made up to 60 days ahead. There is no Sunday delivery. If the ceremony is sooner, contact KANEL by phone or WhatsApp on +41 78 243 18 69 (Monday–Saturday, 9am–6pm) before ordering. See our guide to urgent funeral flowers.

If the budget is tight

A modest piece given with care is entirely appropriate. Options include:

  • a cushion from CHF 155, the smallest funeral piece;
  • sharing a wreath or spray with others;
  • 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.
