Sympathy Flowers

Home > Sympathy Flowers

When somebody close to you suffers a monumental loss or suffering in their life, flowers won’t help fix the problem but they let the person know that there are those there who love and support them. Giving sympathy can range from the loss of a family pet, the bereavement of a person losing their partner, or as severe as death.

Send sympathy flowers today to somebody who really needs an emotional lift and help them recover from their troubles.

Guide to Sympathy Gifts & Flowers

  • 1.1 – Are there any flowers best suited for sympathizing?
  • 1.2 – Are sympathy gifts appropriate to give to a friend in need?
  • 1.3 – What ways are there to cheer up the recipient and help them cope with their loss?

    • 1.1 Are there any flowers best suited for sympathizing?

    From the break up of a friend’s relationship to the passing of a close family relative, sympathy flowers are generally white, delicate and symbolic of carre and friendship. A few examples include:

    • Funeral Wreath/Bouquet: If the sympathy occasion is a funeral, it’s custom not to bring flowers personally to the church or burial site. If you are ordering flowers, make sure your florist delivers them beforehand so the coordinators can organize and arrange the flowers accordingly.
    • Jonquil: A delicate flower with white petals and a yellow stigma, although the petals have a spectrum of white to yellow. White is the colour for sympathy and funeral in Western cultures.
    • Crimson/Maroon Rose: Roses symbolize practically everything across their different range of colours, but one primary emotion is love and respect which a dark rose embodies.

    1.2 Are sympathy gifts appropriate to give to a friend in need?

    For most occasions where flowers are traditionally given, gifts such as wines, chocolates and hampers are acceptable. For sympathy occasions however, the recipient is generally in a non-celebratory state of mind and would not wish to enjoy the gift you have given.

    If you insist on giving a gift other than flowers, the recipient may still appreciate the thought you put in, and use the gift after they have come to terms with what they are mourning for.

    1.3 What ways are there to cheer up the recipient and help them cope with their loss?

    Sometimes through solemn stubbornness, even the closest of friends can ignore your attempts at condolences. Flowers act as a mediator to break down any emotional barriers and let you in for help. Aside from flora, as humans we can get carried away with our own advice and opinion when all someone in the slumps really needs is somebody who will listen to them, or simply be silent.
