⚠️ Important Notice for Families Ordering Flowers in Danvers, MA
If you’re searching for Danvers, MA obituaries or viewing a loved one’s funeral home obituary, please read this before clicking any "Send Flowers" button.
Most funeral home obituary flower links do not lead to a real local florist. Instead, they connect you to national order-gathering companies that sit in the middle, take 20–40% of your payment in fees, and then send the remaining amount to a local florist to fill the order.
That means you often pay more money for fewer flowers, with a higher risk of:
Smaller or downgraded arrangements
Late or missed deliveries
Generic or substituted designs that don’t match the picture online
💐 Protect your tribute: Order directly from
Ward’s Florist
, your trusted, family-owned local florist serving Danvers, MA and the North Shore for over 50 years.
Danvers, MA Obituaries & Funeral Flowers – Avoid Order-Gatherers
When you read an obituary in Danvers, MA, your first instinct is often to click the flower link right on the funeral home page. It feels convenient and safe — but in most cases, that button sends you to a national flower broker, not a local florist.
Families viewing O’Donnell Funeral Home obituaries (Danvers) or Lyons Funeral Home obituaries (Danvers) may not realize that the “Send Flowers” link is controlled by a third-party company that keeps a large percentage of the order before passing it along.
Instead of your full payment supporting a real local shop, a big chunk goes to an unaffiliated website. The florist is left to create your tribute with what’s left — which often leads to a smaller arrangement than you intended.
💐 A better choice: After you find the official obituary on the funeral home’s website, come back and order directly from Ward’s Florist. We’ll coordinate with the funeral home, confirm service times, and design a beautiful, full-value tribute.
How to Find the Official Danvers Obituary
To make sure you have the correct details for visitation and services, it’s important to look up the official obituary listing on the funeral home’s own website. For Danvers families, here are common places to search:
Once you’ve confirmed the name of the deceased, service time, and location, you can safely choose flowers that match the service — without using the high-fee links attached to the obituary page.
Your full payment goes toward the flowers and design
Your arrangement is handcrafted locally
Delivery is made on time for the viewing, wake, or service

Why You Should Avoid Funeral Home “Send Flowers” Links
Most “Send Flowers” buttons on obituary pages are managed by national order-gatherer websites, not by the funeral home and not by a local florist. These companies:
Appear to be part of the funeral home website, but are separate businesses
Take 20–40% of your payment as a service fee
Send the order to a local florist with much less budget for flowers
Often choose generic designs instead of what you see online
In many cases, funeral homes are not fully aware of how large these fees are or how much the middleman keeps. The family believes they ordered directly through the funeral home, but when the flowers look small or arrive late, it reflects poorly on the funeral home and the local florist — not on the order-gatherer.
By skipping those links and ordering directly from Ward’s Florist, you:
Support a real local business at 53 Cabot Street, Beverly, MA
Get more flowers for your money
Receive personal service from people who know O’Donnell and Lyons Funeral Homes and their delivery procedures
