Funeral Flowers Vietnam from Korea: What to Order & How
By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06
Funeral flowers sent from Korea to Vietnam arrive as fresh, meaningful tributes in 5–10 business days through Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang. We work in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City only—we cannot deliver to other cities. You order on WhatsApp in English, pay by international card or bank transfer, and we send a real photo of your arranged bouquet before it reaches the recipient's home or funeral venue. White chrysanthemums, white lilies, and yellow chrysanthemums suit Vietnamese mourning traditions; avoid red flowers and even numbers in stem counts. Ordering from Korea means a 12–13 hour time difference: confirm your recipient's Vietnamese phone number and exact address in our supported cities, include a card message (we translate Vietnamese if needed), and allow extra time for coordination. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp—cost depends on bloom choice and arrangement size. Expect honest feedback if the address lies outside our delivery zones. Order on WhatsApp +84 969 293 894
What flower colours and types work for Vietnamese funerals?
White blooms dominate Vietnamese funeral etiquette. White chrysanthemums, white lilies, and pale orchids convey respect and sorrow; yellow chrysanthemums symbolize grief and truth. Never send red flowers—they signal joy and celebration, which disrespect the deceased. Pink and orange are also unsuitable. Avoid single flowers or arrangements with odd numbers if possible—even counts reflect completeness in Vietnamese tradition. We stock imported white lilies from our Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City workshops; local white chrysanthemums are fresher and often more affordable. Choose based on your budget and the deceased's relationship to the recipient.
What to check before you buy:
- Confirm the funeral date and venue (home, temple, or funeral home).
- Ask the recipient which colours and blooms they prefer.
- Verify your message card is short and respectful (we can translate).
- Check the delivery address is in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
- Confirm the recipient's phone number in the +84 format.

How long do imported flowers last compared to local blooms?
Imported flowers from Korea typically last 7–10 days when kept in cool water indoors; local Vietnamese blooms last 5–8 days in warmer tropical conditions. Imported white lilies are sturdier for long ceremonies but cost more and take 5–10 business days to arrive from Korea. For funerals beginning within 48 hours, local options are safer; for distant ceremonies or when you want a premium imported look, order sooner. We recommend deciding based on your timeline and willingness to pay for faster import logistics.
What happens when you order from Korea across time zones?
Korea runs 1 hour ahead of Hanoi and 2 hours ahead of Ho Chi Minh City. When you message us on WhatsApp during your Korean business day (9 a.m.–6 p.m. Seoul time), we reply in Vietnamese morning or afternoon, depending on which city handles your order. If you order late Korea evening, expect a reply the next Vietnam morning. For urgent funerals, mention the date and time clearly so we prioritize your request. We confirm the recipient's exact address, phone number (format: +84 and 9–10 digits), and preferred delivery window. Then we arrange the flowers, photograph the real bouquet, and send the image to you for approval before delivery. This approval loop takes 4–8 hours once the bouquet is ready.
Which arrangement style fits your relationship to the deceased?
| Arrangement Type | Best for | Why it works | Typical choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standing spray (tall, on easel) | Family member, spouse, child | Displayed at funeral venue; shows closest relationship | Imported white lilies + chrysanthemums |
| Wreath (circular, wall-mounted) | Colleague, business partner | Professional respect without claiming deep kinship | Local white chrysanthemums |
| Basket or vase (hand-delivered) | Distant relative, friend | Suitable for home visits after funeral | Mixed local & imported whites |
| Urn surround (low, around base) | Parent, grandparent | Placed directly at cremation or burial | Premium imported lilies |
Standing sprays and urn surrounds signal immediate family; wreaths suit professional mourning. Baskets work for friends visiting the home days after the funeral. Choose based on your relationship and whether the ceremony is at a venue or family home.

Can you include a card message in Vietnamese, and what should it say?
Yes—include your message in English on WhatsApp, and we translate it to Vietnamese if needed. Funeral messages are brief and sincere: "May their memory bring peace to your family" or "Our thoughts are with you during this time." Avoid humour, personal jokes, or lengthy tributes—Vietnamese mourning is formal and restrained. If you write in English, we handle translation at no extra charge; if you know Vietnamese, send it directly and we use your exact words. The card is placed with the flowers before delivery. Keep it under 20 words for impact. We do not charge extra for translation or card placement.

Why can't we deliver outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and what are your alternatives?

FAQ
Do you deliver to rural areas outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City?
No. We deliver only within Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City proper. If your recipient's address is in a rural district or satellite province, tell us the postcode and we will confirm delivery possibility on WhatsApp. Expect an honest "no" if we cannot reach it.
Can I send flowers to a funeral home instead of a private address?
Yes. Provide the funeral home's name, city, and contact phone number on WhatsApp. We confirm with the venue that flowers can be delivered there and placed safely. Some venues have restrictions—we check first and tell you if there are barriers.
What if the funeral date changes after I've ordered?
Message us immediately on WhatsApp with the new date. We hold the order and reschedule arrangement and delivery at no extra charge, provided the new date is still in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City and at least 24 hours away.
Can I include a photo or personal item with the flowers?
We do not attach photos or personal items to bouquets. We can mention a photo in your card message (e.g., "Enclosed is a memory of our time together"), but physical attachments risk damage. Stick to flowers, a card, and a heartfelt message in Vietnamese or English.
What's the difference between ordering sympathy flowers now versus a death anniversary later?
Funeral flowers (ordered within days of death) are white, chrysanthemums or lilies, and delivered to the funeral venue or home. Death anniversary flowers (ordered weeks or months later) can be slightly more colourful and are delivered to the recipient's home or a temple.
