I called and spoke directly to the florist so because I specifically wanted 19 — 24 stems a full rounded bouquet of white lilies and white roses. I said I didn’t want the funeral triangle with things sticking up. The money was not the issue.. . I knew the average cost per stem, this florist must have assumed I was not attending the funeral — Well I did attend and I noticed that I purchased half the stems I asked for. .. their were carnations and lots of greenery, a few pink lilies and a few pink roses and the funeral triangle of crap sticking up out of the top.
