A common question our customers ask us when they send flowers for a funeral or sympathy floral arrangements to the family of the deceased, is “what should I say on the sympathy card?” Expressing the right condolence words can sometimes be stressful, here is a list of 10 message ideas you can send with your floral design.
Here is the list of our top 15 card messages for either sympathy and funeral flowers:
– Our deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time.
– May (deceased name) rest in peace, (he/she) and will live in our hearts forever.
– Our memories will live in our hearts forever. Holding you close to my heart during your loss.
– Like a beautiful flower, (name of deceased)’s memory will bloom in our hearts year after year. … Today, we celebrate you as we will in our hearts forever.
– Our hearts are filled with sadness and tears, but our memories are filled … Forever in our thoughts. Gone but never forgotten. Thinking of you always.
– Deepest sympathies. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you positive thoughts and lots of prayers. You’re in my thoughts.
– Like a beautiful flower, (name of deceased)’s memory will bloom in our hearts year after year.
– We are thinking of you and your family today, hoping some healing comes from your being together.
– Gone but never forgotten
– I am thinking of you always
– With love and fond memories
– Forever in my heart
– ‘Til we meet again
– Forever in our thoughts
– To me, you were so special. Someone good and true. Never will I forget you. I thought the world of you.
Sympathy flowers and funeral flowers are not the same, generally speaking, sympathy Flower arrangements will be sent to the family’s home in grief, and the etiquette should be to wait one or two days after the funeral service. The funeral flowers should be sent only to the funeral service, as etiquette, if there is a viewing at the funeral home before the burial, then it will be better to send the flowers to the viewing service; this is a good idea as your flowers will be with the family during the whole funeral process. Likely, the funeral director will bring your flower design to the other services. But, if you don’t feel comfortable sending the flowers to the viewing, then you can send the flowers to the mass service at the church.
If your idea is to send a floral design after the funeral service to the family home, it will be best to send an arrangement in a vase, it won’t be appropriate to send a hand-tied bouquet, most of the time families are in great pain and stress, so arranging a bouquet in their own vase will only add more stress to them. For sympathy floral designs we recommend sending white or pastel colored flowers, except if you know which was the favorite color of the deceased, then it will be a nice touch to add other colors.
In our shop you will find the best casket sprays, funeral wreaths, floral crosses, heart shaped wreaths, funeral arrangements and floral standing sprays.
