Frequently Asked Questions

What Can you send to convey sympathy?

Expressing sympathy can take various forms. You can choose the elegance of sympathy flowers or consider sending a sympathy plant.

Which flower colors are most appropriate for expressing sympathy?

If the flowers are intended for a home or office setting, we suggest opting for gentle, pastel shades like greens, whites, pinks, lavenders, and peach tones. These colors have a traditional association with sympathy and convey sentiments of compassion, love, and purity, making them a suitable choice.

In the case of a female deceased, the first preference would be to select a color based on the deceased’s favorite. If that information is unavailable, it is advisable to consider pastel colors or a combination of pink, lavender, peach, yellow, green, and white tones for the memorial service.

For a memorial service honoring a deceased male, it is generally recommended to avoid using pink, lavender, or peach tones unless these were the favorite colors of the departed.

In the event of a non-gender-specific memorial, the primary consideration should be whether the deceased had a favorite color. If this is unknown, pastel colors or a combination of pink, lavender, peach, yellow, green, and white tones are appropriate choices for the service.

When is the ideal time to arrange for sympathy flowers to be delivered?

It’s advisable to send sympathy flowers promptly upon learning of someone’s passing to ensure they arrive in time for the funeral service. However, they can also be sent on the anniversary of the individual’s passing as a heartfelt gesture to convey your ongoing remembrance.

What types of flowers are suitable for sympathy gestures?

Roses and lilies stand out as a highly favored choice for sympathy bouquets.  Additionally, popular options include Hydrangeas, fragrant stocks, carnations, and orchids, each carrying its own unique message of sympathy and support.
