Tributes.com, the online resource for local and national obituary news, has launched the Tributes.com Flower Shop powered by 1-800-FLOWERS.COM. With the new addition of the Tributes.com Flower Shop, site visitors can honor lost loved ones and console family and friends with flowers and gifts exclusively provided by 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLWS), the world’s leading florist and gift shop.
The Tributes.com Flower Shop enables site visitors to view a sympathy collection featuring floral arrangements and gifts from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM. From standing sprays and wreaths to gourmet gift baskets, browsers will find the perfect gift to convey their sympathy during difficult times.
?1-800-FLOWERS.COM is in the business of helping people connect to the important people in their lives,? says Jim McCann, CEO and Founder 1-800-FLOWERS.COM. ?Tributes.com offers a platform which enables visitors to express their sympathy and preserve their memories online.

Through this continued strategic alliance, Tributes.com and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM will supply customers with convenient, seamless and thoughtful ways to express themselves and pay their respects to loved ones. The alliance between 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and Tributes.com has evolved from its inception: debuting with the creation of a virtual lily flower which could be placed within the memory books of obituaries on Tributes.com, and growing into the Tributes.com Flower Shop. The relationship continues to expand, with plans to create a new floral and gourmet gift program specifically for Tributes.com funeral home partners.
?1-800-FLOWERS.COM has been a believer in Tributes.com since our launch in 2008 and was our first strategic marketing partner,? said Elaine Haney, President, Tributes.com. ?We are grateful for their ongoing commitment to our business and are pleased that we have been able to illustrate consistent growth tied directly to the rapid development of our consumer brand, our funeral home channel and our media network. We look forward to continuing to work closely with 1-800-FLOWERS.COM to further develop this segment of our business and to make their next generation of sympathy flowers and sympathy gifts readily available to both our users and our partners.?
With the Tributes.com Flower Shop and new initiatives set to launch, over 1.8 million unique visitors per month have access to expedient means of expressing sympathy.
