Scranton, PA Flower Delivery to Hospitals and Homes

Hospital deliveries: ward, room and the patient's full name

Regional Hospital of Scranton and Moses Taylor Hospital are two of the hospitals in the city, and an order for a patient at either one needs the full name, the ward or unit and the room number. A front desk cannot route an arrangement from a first name alone, and visitors come and go all day, so a card that names the sender helps staff tell which patient it is for.

Hospitals can restrict certain flowers, and intensive care units often accept no deliveries at all, so a call to the unit before ordering can spare a wasted gift. Where flowers are allowed, a low vase and a mild scent suit a bedside better than a tall spray.

Flower delivery in Scranton, PA to a hospital runs between 9 AM and 7 PM, Monday through Saturday, and visiting hours may be narrower than that window. Sunday delivery is not available, so a gift meant for a Sunday visit should arrive on Saturday.

Sympathy orders, with a venue and an hour on them

McGoff-Hughes Funeral Home is one of the funeral homes in the city, and funeral flowers in Scranton usually go to a place like it, with the family surname and the hour of the service on the order.

A family may prefer to receive sympathy flowers at the house instead. Write which one in the delivery notes: an arrangement addressed to a house stays there and is not redirected to the service afterward.

The city counts two cemeteries, and flowers for a burial are better sent to the funeral director or the family than to the graveside, where nobody is waiting to receive an arrangement.

A Scranton order across nine ZIP codes

The 2020 count was 76,335 people on 25.308 square miles, so the addresses behind an order range from apartments to houses to offices, and the delivery notes should say which kind of door to expect.

Nine ZIPs belong to the city: 18503, 18504, 18505, 18507, 18508, 18509, 18510, 18515 and 18540. Scranton PA is how many senders type the search, and the ZIP is what separates a right address from a lookalike, so read it off the recipient's own mail.

Same day flower delivery in Scranton follows the recipient's clock: the order has to be in before 1 PM Eastern time. An order placed after that hour joins the next day's deliveries, and a late Saturday order waits until Monday, because Sunday has none.

An anniversary table, set before the flowers arrive

Anniversary orders are best placed a day ahead, so the arrival fits the plans for the evening. Roses are the familiar choice, but a mixed bouquet in the couple's own colors says more, and for an anniversary in Scranton, a florist in Scranton can make either design in several sizes.

A card for an anniversary can be three lines: the number of years, one memory and a name. That is plenty, and it keeps the arrangement as the main event. Some couples choose the same color every year, and a florist can work to that if the order says so.

An anniversary that falls on a Sunday is served by flowers delivered on Saturday or Monday, never on Sunday itself.

Home recovery: a low arrangement and a short card

A recipient recovering at home has a table, a chair and a stream of visitors, and a compact arrangement fits all three. Tall sprays tip over beside a bed.

Add the street address with any gate or buzzer instruction. Florists near Scranton cannot work out a locked door that is not on the order, and a second line of notes costs nothing.

Flowers delivered at the start of a recovery are remembered, so an order placed on the day the recipient comes home works better than one that waits for the weekend.

Graduation and campus orders

A graduate at the University of Scranton or Marywood University is reached by building, department or residence, not by the city name alone. The card and address should name both, so whoever receives the arrangement can find the graduate.

Ceremony times are fixed, so an order for graduation day is better placed the day before. A Sunday ceremony needs flowers delivered on Saturday. A flower shop in Scranton is not needed for any of this; the order is placed on this page.

Geisinger College of Health Sciences is another campus name worth copying exactly if that is where the recipient studies. A card that names the department saves a trip to the wrong office.

Promotions, retirements and the Scranton office desk

The seat of Lackawanna County, PA is the city itself, and that page lists the other towns reached nearby, such as Taylor, PA, Dunmore, PA and Moosic, PA. Recipients across the county line can be reached through Luzerne County, PA or Wayne County, PA, and the Pennsylvania page covers every other town.

Put the company, the department and the person on any order headed for an office. A celebration there is better when the card says who it is from and what it marks. Flower deliveries are made to the address given, so a suite number matters.

The city shares its name with towns in South Carolina, Iowa and Kansas, so an order should read Pennsylvania and one of the nine ZIPs before the delivery is paid for.

After the florist finishes the arrangement, a photo of it is sent to the buyer at no extra charge. The florist may substitute one variety for a close match, though the arrangement keeps its size, its shape and its value. Send flowers to Scranton with a clear card, and order flowers in a size that suits the desk. The arrangements show each design, and flower delivery in Scranton is by hand.
