Otherside Life

Flowers

Sympathy arrangements, memorial displays, ongoing remembrance deliveries. Someone has to call the florist, compare quotes, and get every arrangement to the right address on time. That someone should be your account coordinator, not you.

It’s okay not to stop and smell the roses this week.

Your Otherside Life account coordinator arranges your flowers, end to end.

We coordinate your sympathy arrangements, memorial displays, and ongoing remembrance deliveries.

We make the calls and track the vendor, so the details stay off your plate.

We stay reachable on the 24/7 concierge line the whole time this is being coordinated.

We only work with vetted flower vendors.

We coordinate the relationship with independent providers working under their own license.

Floral coordination is available through the marketplace at every tier.

The First 500 Hours

5hoursis the average time a family spends coordinating flowers.

That’s calls to a handful of florists, comparing quotes, and confirming delivery windows across town. Five hours doesn’t sound like much, until you realize it’s one more piece carved out of the roughly 570-hour grind of settling an estate while you’re still grieving — time you’d rather spend with the people who are still here.
