• In many cultures, sending sympathy and funeral

  death. When somebody has lost a friend or a
  family member, it can bring extraordinary solace
  to get a blossom game plan with a few words of
  sympathy. It gives a basic, inspiring and
  touching way to express to the bereaved that
  youre standing with them at the time of their

• How To Differentiate Between Sympathy And Funeral
  Flowers?
• Remember, Sympathy flowers are usually a personal
  way to express sympathies or condolences directly
  to the home, or workplace to the grieving family.
  The bouquet of sympathy flowers is usually
  designed in such a way that it easily fits onto a
  table-top, and offers an inspiring peace and
  solace to the bereaved at the time of their loss.

5

• Generally, sympathy flowers are white in colour,
  albeit different shades are acceptable. While
  choosing the sympathy flowers, you get a wide
  range of options, you can select designs of
  common bouquets, or a simple houseplant, or even
  beautiful orchids. The most important thing which
  you need to keep in mind while sending sympathy
  flowers is that the mesmerising scent and beauty
  of the flowers can have a soothing effect on the
  mind of the recipient and can even evoke lots of
  compassion.

6

• Costs for sending sympathy flowers are different,
  but the basic cost lies around 12 to 15. People
  are choosing online services to send sympathy
  flowers in a much easier and cheaper way.
  However, its best to take the flowers and visit
  the bereaved family yourself.
• On the other hand, traditionally funeral flowers
  are viewed as the arrangements of different
  flowers which are sent to the funeral services.
  Funeral flower arrangements are usually a basic
  arrangement in which majority is one-sided and
  round in shape, and they are created quite
  carefully to ensure that they reflect as a highly
  visible floral tribute at a funeral service.

7

• This is the reason why most funeral flowers are
  placed on a stand, table or laid on the coffin.
  Just like as with sympathy flowers, funeral
  flowers are an excellent way to convey
  sympathies, and are frequently sent to funerals
  when a person can't actually visit the funeral
  home. The display of funeral flowers is an
  important element in adding colour and elegance
  to a burial, which helps to make a highly
  compassionate ambiance of a grief-stricken event.

8

• Flower specialists offer a wide range of funeral
  flower arrangements, and the costs start from
  50. Keep in mind that if your loved one has died
  and he/she had a Pre-paid funeral plan, then that
  funeral plan might be covering the cost of
  flowers that are arranged at the event.

9

• You need to consider a few important points,
  while planning to send funeral flowers at the
  church, funeral home or cemetery. First of all,
  find out the wishes of the family, whether they
  need floral display? If the answer is yes, then
  where these flowers are to be taken at the
  funeral home or cemetery? Also, find out the time
  of the event.

10

• If you are not able to talk to the grief-stricken
  family directly, then you can contact the funeral
  director for all these details. If youre
  planning to get a Pre-paid funeral plan, then you
  should also ask the service providers to include
  floral service in the plan. Floral arrangements
  that come with Pre-paid funeral plans cost quite
  less than the prices offered by the florists.
  Ensure, you choose a Pre-paid funeral plan that
  covers the floral arrangements also, this way you
  can take away the financial burden from your
  family members.

11

• The Other Things You Need To Consider
• While youre choosing sympathy or funeral
  flowers, you can pick either customary bouquets,
  or choose flowers were dearest to the deceased.
  For instance, you can pick colours that signify
  an event about the deceaseds life. A red, white
  and blue floral tribute is often selected for war
  veterans or even elderly people.

12

• Messages To Be Send With Funeral Flowers
• So you dont have much idea on how to express
  your sympathy and condolences? Even a simple
  bouquet with message card will let the
  grief-stricken family of the deceased know that
  youre with them in their difficult times. Even
  short sentences like With deepest sympathy" or
  "My thoughts and prayers are with you" will be
  enough to touch the heart of the bereaved.
