Sympathy Arrangements

Funeral flowers are generally designed for a visitation, funeral, memorial service, church, or graveside setting. Sympathy flowers are often sent to the family's home or workplace to express care before or after the service. Some designs can serve either purpose, but the delivery destination and timing should guide the selection.

Appropriate choices include standing sprays, wreaths, baskets, vase arrangements, plants, crosses, hearts, casket flowers, and cremation tributes. The best design depends on your relationship to the deceased, the service type, faith or cultural traditions, and the family's stated preferences.
