Sympathy Flowers for Smith Funeral Chapel

Smith Funeral Chapel at 54701 takes sympathy pieces against the hour printed on the notice, so the notice is the document to read twice before ordering. A standing spray belongs at the chapel, and something lower goes to the family address elsewhere in the city.

The city of Eau Claire is the seat and has a page of its own, separate from this county page, which collects it together with Altoona, Augusta and Fall Creek. Most sympathy orders on this page end at one of the city's three ZIP codes, 54701, 54702 or 54703.

A get-well piece for Mayo Clinic Health System Eau Claire Hospital moves on the patient name and the ward rather than the street, and Augusta Health and Rehabilitation at 54722 signs for a resident's flowers at its front desk. Neither wants a tall piece; a bedside table takes a low one.

Pick a Shape for Altoona

For an Altoona order, pick by the surface first and the color second. An Altoona front room at 54720 usually has one table that decides the size, and the catalog shows each design at the size it is sold in rather than cropped to fill a screen.

Width holds up better than height in most Eau Claire County houses, and a tall piece without a hall table under it gets moved twice on the first evening. Rooms at Fall Creek are bright in July and short of light by November, which changes which colors carry across a room.

The 1 PM Line at Augusta

Order before 1 PM Central time and same-day flower delivery reaches any of the six Eau Claire County ZIP codes, from 54742 at Fall Creek to 54722 at Augusta. A west coast sender is two hours behind the Augusta clock and has until late morning by their own.

Flower delivery runs Monday through Saturday across all four Eau Claire County towns, Sunday delivery is not available, and arrivals land between 9 AM and 7 PM. A Sunday service at Smith Funeral Chapel therefore has to be met on the Saturday before it.

A specific hour at Altoona can be requested but not promised, since the 54720 route is set by the florist on the day. Wisconsin keeps one time zone from end to end, so nothing in the state runs ahead of the Augusta clock.

Substitution on an Augusta Order

Flower types may be substituted for what a florist near Augusta has on hand that morning, with no change to the size, shape or value of the arrangement ordered. A stem missing in January at 54722 is usually missing at 54701 as well, so the swap is rarely a surprise to anyone.

Once the arrangement is finished a photo of it goes to the sender at no extra charge, and for a Fall Creek delivery that picture is the sender's first sight of the piece. Anything wrong with it has three days to be raised, and a replacement, a refund or a partial credit is how an Altoona order gets put right.

The listing continues at Chippewa County, WI to the north and at Dunn County, WI to the west, and every county in Wisconsin sits on the Wisconsin county index. Eau Claire County is the largest of the three by population, with 108,830 people across 638 square miles.
