What are Sympathy and Funeral Flowers?

Sympathy flowers are typically smaller, more understated arrangements designed to bring comfort to the family at home or during the funeral service. They serve as a heartfelt reminder of support and compassion. Consider, for example, our white gerbera daisy and rose funeral arrangement. Funeral flowers often take the form of larger floral displays, such as wreaths or sprays, that honour the life of the deceased and bring beauty to their farewell ceremony.

Colours for Sympathy and Funeral Flowers

Many people wonder what colour flowers they should choose for a funeral bouquet. Colour also has a major impact on what type of emotions are evoked. White funeral flowers are a very common and appropriate way to show your condolences during these tough times. We have a great selection of white sympathy and funeral flowers that will encapsulate your sincerest thoughts. Coloured sympathy arrangements are appropriate, but are more often used for celebrations of life. This is because colours like orange and yellow symbolize happiness and joy. With that in mind, don’t be afraid to add in some colour. There are no hard and fast rules for sympathy flowers. A great colour for sympathy flowers is a touch of red because it can symbolize elements of strength and passion.

What Do I Write on a Sympathy Card?

You might be thinking to yourself, “what is an appropriate sympathy message to be sent with flowers”? Sometimes it can be tricky to express your feelings in such a difficult and stressful time. The most important thing to remember is that your words should be comforting and express to the family or person that you are thinking about them. Here are some examples you could use:

  • “My deepest condolences to you and your family.”
  • “I am deeply sorry for your loss.”
  • “My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.”
  • “Thinking of you during these difficult times and hoping you are surrounded by love.”
