Flowers sent to the family are sympathy expressions of
comfort, peace and hope. They say "I'm thinking of you." Any
number of floral arrangements are a welcome gesture,
including centerpieces, plants or even
a small teacup with
flowers. Some choose a small garden of green plants,
accented with a blooming plant for color.
|
And even if a
few weeks have passed since the death, flowers are a
comforting reminder that friends are still thinking of the
family throughout the grieving process. In some cases,
particularly in Jewish cultures, a fruit or gourmet basket
is greatly appreciated by a family who is receiving
out-of-town guests during the mourning period. This type of
gift does double-duty, delivering your condolences while
helping to care for and nurture family and friends.

A
beautiful way to express your condolence and
compassion, plants can be enjoyed for months to
come. |
I’d
like to send a gift that will last longer than
flowers.
While many of us think of
flowers to express sympathy, plants are a perfectly
lovely — and lasting — way to show you’re thinking
of them. In fact, the
Peach Tribute Garden
is a combination of
planter and fresh flower arrangement offers a
beautiful alternative to traditional designs.
One
planter of dieffenbachia, fern, ivy and kalanchoe
plants is accented with peach stock, lilies and
roses.
Another excellent choice is the
Yellow Hope Chrysanthemum,
which has been adorned with birch and placed inside
a natural basket. Grown for more than 2,000 years in
Chinese gardens, chrysanthemums
are a symbol of fidelity and of the sun, providing a
message of light and love during this difficult
time. |

I’d like to send a classic arrangement that can be
enjoyed at the service and at home.
A traditional sympathy
arrangement often begins with a classic white
funeral basket with handle. The
Basket of Faith
features pastel-colored blooms in soft pink, white
and yellow. This compassionate gift delivers your
heartfelt regards and includes
carnations
symbolizing beauty,
asters
for patience,
daisies
for loyalty and gladioli for admiration. And because
it is designed using hydrated florist’s foam, it
will last in the home after the services have
concluded. |
