FAQs about Sympathy & Funeral Flowers

What are the most appropriate flowers for funerals?
Typically bouquets white and green in colour are the most appropriate flowers to send for a funeral or sympathetic occasion. Some of the best combination of flowers for a funeral can are included in "The Serenity" bouquet, white oriental lilies with pure white roses and lisianthus.
How much are funeral flowers or wreaths?
We have a range of bouquets that would be appropriate for funerals or celebrations of life. We currently do not make any funeral arrangements like wreath and or floral letters. As we deliver by courier in boxes our current delivery method would not allow for the transport of arrangements.
Can you make floral letters spelling a word or name?
We currently do not make any funeral arrangements like wreaths, sheafs or floral letters. As we deliver by courier in boxes our current delivery method would not allow for the transport of arrangements.
What to write on a funeral or sympathy card with the flowers?
Writing sympathy messages can be difficult but they don't have to be overly complicated. We asked our charity partner Sue Ryder for some tips.

Sometimes keeping it simple is best:

"We’re thinking of you at this difficult time and sending you a big hug and lots of love."

"I don’t really know what to say, but I want you to know that I am thinking about you at this
difficult time."

"I am so sorry for the loss you are experiencing with this bereavement.  I’ll touch base with
you in a couple of weeks and when you’re ready let’s meet up."

Alternatively, you could be more personal in your message.

"We are so sorry to hear about [your relative description/name].  They were such an
incredible person and we will never forget [insert a memory or anecdote]."

"I’m really sorry to hear about [your relative description/name]. Please know that we’re all
thinking of you and if there’s anything you need - [how you can help e.g. the school run, a
meal being dropped round, walking the dog or popping out for a coffee], we are only a text
or a phone call away."

"I am so sorry for your loss. [He/She/They] filled a room with laughter and they will be so
missed."  

"We are so sorry for your loss. We will touch base with you in a couple of weeks and when
you’re ready, let’s meet up and go to [their favourite place]."
