Sympathy Flowers: Comfort When Words Fall Short

During life's most difficult moments, flowers offer what words often cannot - a gentle, tangible expression of comfort and care. When someone is grieving, the right flowers acknowledge their loss, honour the person they have lost, and let them know they are not alone in their sorrow.

Our sympathy arrangements are designed to convey heartfelt condolences with dignity and grace. Elegant white lilies symbolise peace and the restored innocence of the soul. Soft pastel arrangements bring a sense of calm. Classic white roses speak of love that transcends loss. Each bouquet is crafted with sensitivity and respect for this tender time.

In the weeks following a loss, many families appreciate ongoing gestures of support. Our get well flowers can offer comfort to those struggling with grief, while a thank you arrangement is a thoughtful way to acknowledge those who provided support during difficult times.

We understand that these are not flowers you want to be ordering - and we treat every sympathy arrangement with the care and solemnity it deserves. Whether delivered to a home, funeral service, or memorial, our sympathy flowers carry your message of comfort when being there in person is not possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Sympathy

What flowers are appropriate for sympathy?

White flowers - particularly lilies, roses, and chrysanthemums - are traditional choices for sympathy, symbolising peace, purity, and honour. Soft pastels also work beautifully. While there are no strict rules, it is generally best to avoid overly bright or festive arrangements. Our sympathy collection is thoughtfully curated to be appropriate for these occasions.

Can you deliver sympathy flowers to a funeral home?

Yes, we can deliver directly to funeral homes, churches, memorial services, or private residences. Please provide the name of the deceased, the name of the funeral home, and the date and time of the service to ensure your flowers arrive appropriately.

What should I write on a sympathy card?

Keep your message simple and sincere. Express your condolences, share a brief positive memory if appropriate, and offer your support. Something like 'Thinking of you during this difficult time' or 'With deepest sympathy' is always appropriate. Avoid cliches about things happening for a reason - genuine simplicity is best.

Is it appropriate to send flowers to a Jewish funeral?

Traditionally, flowers are not sent to Jewish funerals or to the shiva house. Instead, charitable donations in memory of the deceased are more appropriate. If you are unsure about the family's preferences or religious traditions, it is best to ask or send flowers after the mourning period to express ongoing support.

When should sympathy flowers be delivered?

Sympathy flowers can be delivered to the funeral or memorial service, or to the family's home before or after the service. Sending flowers to the home can be a thoughtful gesture in the days and weeks following the service, when immediate support has diminished but grief remains.

Can I send sympathy flowers if I did not know the deceased well?

Yes, sympathy flowers from acquaintances, colleagues, or distant connections are entirely appropriate and often deeply appreciated. They show that the loss has been noted and that you are thinking of the bereaved. A simple message acknowledging their loss and expressing sympathy is all that is needed.
