Send Condolence Flowers to Vietnam by Card: Order Guide

By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06

Yes, we accept international card payments for condolence flowers delivered in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. You order on WhatsApp in English, tell us the recipient's address and phone number (Vietnamese format: +84 9XXXXXXXX or 09XXXXXXXX), and we send a photo of the real bouquet before delivery—no guesswork. Payment is by card or bank transfer; ask us for a quote on WhatsApp. Delivery takes 24–48 hours in the same city; timing depends on your time zone (Vietnam is UTC+7) and when you order. Condolence flowers mean respect and shared grief; white chrysanthemums, lilies, and roses work best for funerals and death anniversaries. We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, not other Vietnamese cities. For sympathy occasions, include a brief card message in Vietnamese or English—we can translate or write one for you. This method suits people abroad who want certainty: you see the exact arrangement before it reaches your family or friend.

What does "pay by card" mean for international orders to Vietnam?

When you order from outside Vietnam, we accept Visa, Mastercard, and international bank transfers through our WhatsApp line. You send us the recipient's details (name, address in Hanoi or HCMC, phone), describe what you want or choose a sympathy arrangement type, and we quote you in USD. After you approve the design and price, we process your card securely, photograph the finished bouquet, and you confirm the photo before we dispatch. This eliminates the risk of paying for something that never arrives or looks wrong.

How do time zones affect when my condolence flowers arrive?

Vietnam operates on UTC+7 year-round; if you're in the US (UTC−5 to UTC−8), Vietnam is 12–15 hours ahead. An order placed at 6 PM US time reaches our shop the next morning in Vietnam. We aim for delivery within 24–48 hours of confirmed payment, so a Tuesday evening US order typically delivers Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning in Vietnam. Always mention the recipient's preferred delivery window (morning, afternoon, specific date) when you order. Delays happen if the address is hard to find or the phone is unreachable; include a landmark (near a hospital, school, park) to avoid this.

Why does a photo before delivery matter for sympathy flowers?

In grief, the recipient and their family are vulnerable; a wrong flower type, wilted stems, or poor arrangement damages your gesture. We photograph the finished bouquet in natural light so you see exact colors, size, and freshness before it leaves our shop. If it doesn't match your vision, we remake it at no extra charge—this is part of our process, not a favor. For condolence work, this step is not optional: white lilies must be crisp, chrysanthemums full, and the container or wrapping respectful. You approve the photo via WhatsApp; once you say "yes," we deliver within hours.

Which flowers and designs are right for Vietnamese funerals and death anniversaries?

Vietnamese funeral etiquette favors white, yellow, and pale pink flowers—red and bright hues are considered disrespectful for mourning. Sympathy flower collections typically include white chrysanthemums (symbol of truth and devoted love), white lilies (purity and rebirth), and pale roses (grace). Wreaths, standing sprays, and table arrangements are common; avoid potted plants (symbolize being "stuck"). For death anniversaries (often marked at 49 days, 100 days, 1 year, and yearly on the lunar calendar), the same color palette applies. Include a card message—in Vietnamese, "Xin chia buồn cùng gia đình" (We share in your sorrow with your family) is a classic opening. We can write this for you or translate your English message into Vietnamese.

What details do I need to provide for the Vietnamese address and phone?

Vietnamese addresses follow a specific format: house number, street name, ward name, district name, city name. Include the full name of the recipient and a mobile phone number—Vietnam's format is "+84 9XXXXXXXX" (international) or "09XXXXXXXX" (local). Our driver calls the recipient before arrival; if the number is wrong or the address incomplete, delivery fails. Double-check both with your family member before you send the order. If you're unsure of the exact address, provide a nearby landmark (a specific temple, university, hospital) or ask a local contact to confirm via Google Maps.

Card Message in Vietnamese: What to Write

OccasionMessageEnglish Meaning
Funeral (same day)Xin chia buồn cùng gia đình. Cầu cho người quá cố yên nghỉ.We grieve with your family. May the deceased rest in peace.
Death AnniversaryNhớ mãi người thân yêu. Cầu cho linh hồn được an lạc.We remember your loved one. May their soul be at peace.
Immediate familyTôi đau buồn cùng bạn trong thời gian này.I grieve with you during this time.
Colleague/AcquaintanceCảm thương gia đình bạn. Kính gửi hoa tưởng niệm.Our sympathy to your family. With respect and remembrance.

If you prefer English, write it; we deliver as-is. For Vietnamese text, we verify spelling before printing on the card.

Why can't we deliver outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City?

We operate two physical shops—one in Hanoi, one in Ho Chi Minh City—with daily fresh flower supply chains tied to each location. Attempting delivery to an unsupported city risks non-delivery, poor quality, or lost payment. If your recipient is elsewhere, we recommend finding a local Vietnamese florist or asking a family member in-country to purchase flowers locally. If they are in Hanoi or HCMC, we can help. Always ask us first: "Can we deliver to [city name]?" The answer is no for anywhere except these two cities.
