Anderson-McQueen has served St. Petersburg families since 1952 and operates a few different locations across the city. If you're sending sympathy flowers for a service there, here's what's useful to know before you order.
Divine Flower Decor is an independently owned florist in the Tampa Bay area — we're not affiliated with Anderson-McQueen, but we do deliver throughout St. Petersburg as part of our delivery area.
Confirm which location
Because Anderson-McQueen operates multiple locations in St. Petersburg, it's worth double-checking the exact address for the specific service before placing your order — the obituary or the family should have that detail, or the funeral home can confirm it directly over the phone. Using the correct location's address at checkout is what ensures the arrangement actually arrives where it needs to. Two of their main locations: 2201 Dr Martin Luther King Jr St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33704 — (727) 547-3453; and 7820 38th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33710 — (727) 405-0528.
Delivery to St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg is part of our extended delivery zone, with a $19.95 delivery fee. Online orders get next-day delivery, with windows between 12 PM and 6 PM — for a morning service and ordered online, order at least two days ahead; for an afternoon or evening service, the day before is typically enough. Need it today instead? Call us at (813) 404-6410 before 11 AM to arrange same-day delivery by phone.
What's typically sent
A standing spray or easel arrangement is the most common choice from friends, coworkers, and extended family, usually displayed near the casket or at the entrance to the service. Casket sprays, placed directly on the casket, are generally reserved for immediate family. If you'd rather send something to the family's home, a smaller arrangement or blooming plant is often more practical and lasts longer.

A Few Options to Consider
Rose Spray
$185
A graceful standing spray of red roses set among white lilies, snapdragons, and alstroemeria, framed by soft ferns and palm fronds. A dignified tribute to honor a life beautifully lived.
Serene Blessings
$185
White gladiolus and roses rise above white carnations and soft purple statice in a graceful standing basket. A peaceful arrangement to honor and comfort in difficult times.
White Tribute
$185
A full, graceful gathering of white gladiolus, lilies, roses, and carnations softened by fern in a clean white vase. A pure, peaceful tribute to a cherished memory.
If the obituary requests donations instead
Many obituaries specify a preferred charity or cause in lieu of flowers. When that's the case, honoring the request is generally the more thoughtful choice. Outside of that, flowers are a widely appropriate way to express condolences, whether you're able to attend the service or not.
Keeping the card message simple
A short, sincere note is all that's expected — "With deepest sympathy," "In loving memory of [name]," or "Thinking of you and your family" all work well. A brief personal memory can add something meaningful if you knew the person, but there's no need to write more than a line or two.
How to place the order
Order directly through our site — at checkout, enter the specific Anderson-McQueen location's address as the delivery address, note the service date, and add your message in the dedication card field.
A long-established name in St. Petersburg
Anderson-McQueen has been part of the St. Petersburg community for over 70 years, which means many local families already have some familiarity with the name and its locations. If you're new to the area or don't know St. Petersburg well, it's worth asking the family or checking the obituary for the specific address rather than assuming — a detail that matters more here than with a single-location funeral home.
Why a locally hand-delivered arrangement
Every order is designed and delivered by hand rather than shipped in a box, which matters most for standing sprays and larger tribute pieces — they need to arrive fully assembled, not reconstructed after transit. Being based in the Tampa Bay area also makes it simple to reach us directly if a delivery detail changes.
The bottom line
The main thing that sets a multi-location funeral home apart is double-checking the address — everything else about timing and etiquette works the same as any other service. Order a day or two ahead, confirm the right location, and keep the card message simple.
Frequently asked questions
Anderson-McQueen has more than one location — does it matter which address I use?
Yes — enter the exact address of the location where the service is being held, since that's where the arrangement will be delivered.
Do you deliver to St. Petersburg?
Yes — St. Petersburg is part of our extended delivery zone, with a $19.95 delivery fee.
Can flowers be delivered directly to the funeral home instead of a private address?
Yes — use the funeral home's address at checkout along with the service date, and we'll deliver it there.
What if the service is tomorrow morning?
Since delivery windows start at 12 PM, an order placed today won't arrive before a tomorrow-morning service. It's worth calling us to talk through options, or arranging delivery to the family's home later that day instead.
