With Sympathy

Funerals are always somber occasions as we gather to honor the life and legacy of someone we have loved or known through a close connection to a friend. Traditionally, we send flowers to show that we care, and as mourners pay our respects and offer our condolences to the family.

Let’s face it, though:

Some floral arrangements for a funeral can be impersonal. When we choose a more pleasant and meaningful bouquet, we’re showing that we care while also providing comfort.

Here are some suggestions for choosing a visually pleasing floral arrangement for a funeral.

• Consider the deceased’s preferences: Think about the favorite flowers, colors, or styles of the person being honored. Personalizing the arrangement with elements that reflect their personality or preferences makes the gesture more heartfelt.
• Choose Flowers with symbolic meanings: Certain flowers, like lilies for peace, roses for love, and chrysanthemums for loyalty, convey specific sentiments. Selecting flowers that align with your message of condolence can add depth and significance to your tribute.
• Select appropriate sizes and styles: Consider the setting and the role of the flowers—whether they will be at the service, on a casket, or sent to the family’s home. The arrangement’s size and style should complement the occasion without overwhelming it.
• Incorporate personalized touches: Adding elements such as ribbons with heartfelt messages or incorporating meaningful keepsakes can make the arrangement uniquely special and a lasting tribute to the person’s memory.

Sending funeral flowers when someone dies is a wonderful way to show that you care for the family and share their sadness. By taking the time to make your chosen arrangement personal and meaningful, you will be sure to bring comfort to everyone who gathers to remember the life of a special person and to support one another.

Typical funeral flower selections often feature casket flowers, standing sprays, like floral crosses or wreaths, and more intimate arrangements such as sympathy flower baskets.

Our collection of funeral flowers spans the favorites: from the serene beauty of lilies and roses to the comforting presence of daisies, mums, and snapdragons. Our smaller arrangements such as sympathy bouquets, vase arrangements, and memorial plants, each show a thoughtful way to share your sympathy and support.
