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.
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.
Can you make floral letters spelling a word or name?
We currently do not make any funeral arrangements like wreaths, sheafs or floral letters.
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]."

If you need a little more help, here's a very useful blog on the topic from the Sue Ryder website.
