Sympathy flowers are a beautiful and time-honored way to express your compassion or shared sense of loss when someone you care about loses a loved one. Their purpose is to comfort those who are grieving. They are an uplifting way to share beauty at a difficult time. Sympathy flower arrangements are often sent to the home of the deceased’s family, but they can be sent to the funeral home or other service location.
At Orchard Lane, we offer a selection of sympathy flower arrangements (shown below), or we can design something uniquely fitting, keeping in mind the deceased's personality, interests, or favorite colors, or a flower that symbolizes something about the loved one. We will help you choose and send just the right arrangement, bouquet, or plant to show them you care and are there for the family during a difficult time.
The term “funeral flowers” usually refers to the large casket sprays, urn surrounds, or other large arrangements chosen by the immediate family members of the person who has passed away. Funeral flowers are meant to honor the individual who has passed on and are always sent to the funeral home or the site where a memorial service will be held.
If you recently lost a loved one, we at Orchard Lane Flowers extend our heartfelt sympathy. To help you honor your family member, we are ready to provide beautiful, personal, meaningful funeral flower arrangements and helpful, compassionate service at a time of loss.
Unlike sympathy flowers, which are sent to those who are grieving, funeral flowers are for funerals, wakes, or memorial services.
Their purpose is to honor the deceased and they are placed on or near the casket, the cremation urn, or the gravesite. Orchard Lane offers customized casket sprays, standing sprays, urn surrounds, and other funeral flowers for immediate family and close friends to send. We also offer smaller arrangements appropriate for anyone to send.
While Orchard Lane can offer as much assistance as you like in selecting funeral flowers, here are some things to keep in mind:
Funeral flowers are a beautiful and meaningful way to honor someone who has passed on and to express condolences to the grieving family.
