If you’re thinking of sending a sympathy bouquet, you may wonder about the most appropriate flowers to give. Since blossoms are just as meaningful as they are beautiful, it’s worth selecting the right types to convey your message. Among the most common flowers given at funerals are lilies. When you want to send something before or after the service to the family, consider this beautiful, long treasured flower. It represents hope and is a peaceful color that won’t overwhelm the space.
Another option is the beloved carnation. Offering a light fragrance and the advantage of longevity — an important benefit, since the recipient may not be focused on care and maintenance during this difficult time — carnations are available in a variety of shades that are suitable for sympathy gifting. Consider white, a pure hue that reflects innocence and gentleness. Pink is another appropriate choice that is perfect for expressing your love and compassion.
