    Sympathy flowers

    There are some things that are difficult to say, or feelings too big for words. Tell someone you're thinking of them, or say farewell with a bouquet. Here you'll find our range of sympathy flowers, delivered with care to help you express your condolences. If you need help with writing a sympathy card to someone who has been bereaved, we've worked with the charities Sue Ryder and the Lullaby Trust on some helpful tips and prompts.

      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]."
