Flowerama

Called Sat 1 pm for a floral delivery to a local funeral home the following afternoon but was told they couldn’t do that (‘truck already out’). This was for my Mother’s service so it was important that we have flowers at the memorial. They asked if I could pick up and deliver the flowers to the the funeral home myself, as if I didn’t have anything else to do. I was also visiting from out of town and didn’t have time to search for various florists that could assist us.
Durken’s Florist (Ridge Road) was very helpful and willing to accommodate our request for an order on short notice. They were also quite pleasant.

This place saved my life! Well, not actually my life, but maybe my job! My boss was in town for a family funeral, and I confused the day she wanted flowers to be delivered to the funeral home. Eeek! I needed flowers delivered NOW, or at least within an hour or two. Not an easy task.
After calling a few places (one of which refused to deliver because if they ran late it would make them look bad!) I called this place, one of the few open on Sunday. The woman who answered the phone (Kathy?) was incredibly sweet and understanding and went out of her way to help me. They don’t deliver on Sundays, but after explaining my situation, one of her girls offered to drop an arrangement on her way home! It was there in 20 minutes. Whew!
I obviously couldn’t see it over the phone, but I was sent a picture and it was gorgeous! And not very expensive, even for a last minute rush. I am so incredibly grateful and I highly recommend them. What incredible service! Those girls deserve a raise.
