During times of loss and grief, expressing sympathy and offering support to grieving families can be difficult.

The Meaning Behind Sympathy & Funeral Flowers
Sympathy flowers are more than just beautiful arrangements; they carry deep emotional significance. They serve as a gesture of comfort, a way to honor the memory of the deceased, and a symbol of solidarity with those mourning.
Traditional sympathy flowers include lilies, chrysanthemums, roses, and carnations — each carrying its own meaning:
-
Lilies: Represent the restored innocence of the soul of the deceased. White lilies are especially common at funerals.
-
Chrysanthemums: Symbolize honor, respect, and grief, widely used in many cultures for remembrance.
-
Roses: Convey love, respect, and courage. White roses signify reverence and innocence; red roses symbolize love and grief.
-
Carnations: Stand for admiration and remembrance, often used in funeral wreaths.
Selecting the appropriate flowers helps communicate your heartfelt condolences and shows that you share in the sorrow of the loss.
