What do I need before I open the order form?

Before you open the Korea Flower Express order form, find the funeral hall's name, the mourning room number and the date and time of the funeral procession in the notice you received. Even if you only have the name of the hall, you can still order, and our team confirms the hall and the room.

How do I fill in the order form, field by field?

The Korea Flower Express order form in English runs through your details, the recipient's details, the message and the payment. For a funeral wreath, the fields in the table below matter most.

Order form fieldWhat to enterNote
Obituary / Invitation LinkPaste the whole funeral message or link you received.Paste it in full rather than summarising it, and our team confirms the hall and the room from it.
Name and ContactEnter the recipient's name and phone number as shown in the notice.Both are required. We use the number if a delivery problem comes up.

Special requestsAsk here if you want an on-site photo of the wreath in place.The form carries the same hint next to the field.

How do I time the delivery so it arrives before the funeral procession?

On the Korea Flower Express order form the delivery date and time are in Korea time, and same-day delivery applies only to orders placed before 6 PM Korea time, with about 3 hours needed to make and deliver. If you choose today, the form lets you pick only times at least 3 hours from now. When the wreath must be in place before a set time, choose by in the time rule. Arrival means around that time, which is not what you want when the wreath has to be there before the procession.

The most common mistake is the date. Korea is 9 hours ahead of UTC and has no daylight saving time. If the procession is at 7 AM tomorrow in Korea, that is 10 PM tonight in UTC, and the order form needs Korea's date for tomorrow, not your own. When it is Tuesday evening in New York, it is already Wednesday morning in Korea.

For the same-day cutoff in other time zones, see Same-Day Flower Delivery in Korea: Cutoff by Time Zone. To leave yourself room, order the day before if you can, and if time is short message us in chat or call +82-70-7919-3082 from abroad right after you order.

What do I write on the ribbons when I order from abroad?

On a Korea Flower Express funeral wreath, the ribbon on the right as you face the wreath carries the condolence phrase and the ribbon on the left carries the sender. Whatever you type prints exactly as typed, so check the spelling of the phrase and of your name. You can enter up to 50 characters including spaces, and text longer than the recommended length for the product is printed smaller.

In Greeting, use a condolence phrase such as 謹弔 or a sentence of sympathy; in Sender, your name or, if the wreath comes from a company, the company name and title. The English form does not offer sample phrases, so copy one from Korean Wreath Ribbon Messages: Phrases and Sender Names, and use Ribbon preview on the form to see how the text sits on the ribbons. If you are unsure how your name should be written, ask in chat before you order.
