Choosing funeral flowers is never easy. You want your message to feel sincere, respectful, and comforting. The right words paired with the right flowers can offer real support to grieving families. This guide helps you decide what to write and which sympathy flowers are most appropriate.
Simple Sympathy Messages That Always Feel Right
Short messages are often the most meaningful. Use these when you want to express care without saying too much.
• With deepest sympathy
• Thinking of you during this difficult time
• Our hearts are with you
• In loving memory
• Wishing you peace and comfort
These work well on smaller arrangements, plants, and baskets.

Personal Messages for Someone You Knew Well
If you had a close relationship, a more personal message can bring comfort and connection.
• We will always remember their kindness and beautiful spirit
• Thank you for the love and memories that will stay with us forever
• Your strength and warmth touched so many lives
• Gone from our sight but never from our hearts
Keep the tone gentle and avoid anything overly detailed or emotional.
Religious and Faith Based Messages
If the family finds comfort in faith, a spiritual message can be meaningful.
• May God grant you peace and comfort
• Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted
• May eternal light shine upon them
• Praying for strength and healing during this time
Always consider the family’s beliefs before including religious wording.
What Flowers Are Appropriate for Funeral Services
Certain flowers are traditionally chosen to express sympathy and respect.
• White lilies represent peace and purity
• Roses show love and remembrance
• Orchids symbolize lasting love
• Carnations are often used in sympathy arrangements
• Peace lilies are popular living plants that continue to grow
Soft colors like white, cream, blush, and light blue are most common for funeral services.
Choosing the Right Type of Sympathy Arrangement
Different services call for different flower styles.
• Standing sprays are sent directly to funeral services
• Wreaths and crosses are traditional tribute pieces
• Sympathy baskets are sent to homes
• Vase arrangements are appropriate for visitation services
• Plants are long lasting and comforting gifts
If you are unsure, call the florist and ask where the flowers will be delivered.
