This guide will help you choose the perfect sympathy flowers that speak from the heart, offering support and solace to grieving families and friends.

What Are Sympathy Flowers?

Sympathy flowers are more than just blooms—they’re emotional expressions. Whether you’re sending a thoughtful flower delivery to a loved one’s home or contributing a floral tribute to a memorial service, each beautiful arrangement conveys empathy, respect, and care.

Top 6 Sympathy Flowers and Their Meanings

Lilies – A classic symbol of purity and peace, white lilies are often chosen to honor the soul of the departed.

Roses – Soft pink roses symbolize grace and remembrance, while white roses represent reverence.

Chrysanthemums – In many cultures, mums are directly associated with honoring the deceased.

Orchids – Elegant and long-lasting, orchids express eternal love and strength.

Carnations – Often used in funeral sprays, carnations symbolize remembrance and affection.

Hydrangeas – These full, soft blooms express deep understanding and heartfelt emotion.

Our expert flower designers are highly skilled at combining these florals into amazing flower arrangements that feel both comforting and timeless.

Choosing the Right Arrangement

When selecting sympathy flowers, consider the message you want to send and the preferences of the family. Here are some thoughtful options:

Casket Sprays & Wreaths – Reserved for close family, these are the centerpiece florals for a memorial service.

Standing Sprays – Tall and elegant, these are suitable for services and public displays of sympathy.

Basket Arrangements & Bouquets – Perfect for sending to a home or office, especially when paired with a personal note.

Plant Gifts – Living plants like peace lilies or orchids offer ongoing comfort long after the service.

Every order is handcrafted by a professional flower designer, ensuring that each petal is placed with care and meaning.
