Sympathy vs Funeral Flowers
While sympathy flowers and funeral flowers are both meaningful ways to express love, respect and condolences, they are generally chosen for different purposes.
Sympathy flowers are usually sent directly to the home, workplace or family of someone who has experienced a loss. They are a personal gesture of comfort and support and can be sent at any time following a bereavement. Elegant arrangements of roses, orchids, lilies and seasonal flowers in soft, calming tones can offer a thoughtful reminder that the recipient is in your thoughts.
Funeral flowers, on the other hand, are specifically chosen to commemorate someone who has passed away and are often arranged for a funeral service, memorial service, chapel or graveside ceremony. Funeral arrangements can include casket sprays, funeral wreaths, crosses and other larger floral tributes designed specifically for the occasion.
Which Flowers Should I Send?
If you would like to express your condolences to the family, sympathy flowers are a thoughtful choice. They can be delivered directly to the recipient and are particularly appropriate when you want to offer comfort in the days or weeks following a loss. If you are attending or arranging a funeral or memorial service, funeral flowers or a larger floral tribute may be more appropriate.
