What flowers are considered appropriate for expressing sympathy?

Roses and carnations are commonly chosen for funerals, memorial services and other occasions of sympathy. Lilies (including calla lilies), gladioli, chrysanthemums and orchids are also suitable selections.

What is the most suitable flower colour to convey sympathy?

Colour traditions can vary. In Western traditions, red roses often symbolise strength and dignity. White flowers are frequently chosen to signify honour and peace. Pastel and bright colours can also be appropriate; blue flowers can represent sadness and purple flowers convey respect. If possible, consider incorporating the deceased’s favourite flowers or colours into the arrangement as a tribute.

When is the most suitable time to arrange for the delivery of sympathy flowers?

Sending a vased bouquet of sympathy flowers or a sympathy plant promptly upon learning of the loss is considered appropriate. Larger pieces such as standing sprays, wreaths or casket arrangements are usually sent to the funeral service itself. It is also thoughtful to send flowers to the bereaved person’s home a week or so after the service to show continued support.

What kind of arrangement should you consider sending to a funeral or memorial service?

Floral baskets, vased arrangements and living plants are suitable for anyone to send. Wreaths, crosses and sprays are typically sent by those who had a personal connection with the deceased or their family. Tributes such as casket covers or urn arrangements are normally chosen by family members, so it’s best to consult the family before sending these specialised pieces.

Is it a good idea to send a live plant to the funeral home?

Yes. A green or flowering plant is a thoughtful gesture that can be enjoyed long after the service. Funeral homes will often help ensure plants are delivered to the family’s home afterwards, or the family can take them home themselves.

Where can I have funeral and sympathy flowers delivered in Toronto?

Is it appropriate to send sympathy flowers to the family’s home?

Absolutely. Many people choose to send flowers or plants to the family’s home either immediately or in the weeks following the funeral as a way to express ongoing support.
