Don't know what to say to express sympathy? When offering condolences, it can be hard to know just what to say. With sympathy flowers in Miami you will always know how to express your feelings of compassion and concern for the bereaved.
Sending flowers is a meaningful gesture that can provide comfort to those who are grieving. Adding a personal note or “we are thinking of you” message with the flowers would be especially treasured.
Sympathy floral arrangements and designs have been a part of funeral and memorial traditions in almost every civilization throughout human history. Funeral Flowers add kindness, loveliness, and decorum to the service and, for many, a symbol of eternal life. There are typically two occasions when you would send sympathy flowers.
In the first instance, you may choose to send sympathy flowers to a viewing, memorial, place of worship, or funeral service, adding a touching tribute. The type of flowers you choose can express your feelings.
Another area that would be appropriate to send flowers is the home or office. This can be a nice gesture to honor a colleague or friend. Plants and dish gardens are a nice gift that will last for months, or even years, as a token of remembrance.

Q: What about “in lieu of flowers” in the deceased notification - is it still appropriate to send flowers?
|
|
A: Because flowers help you say what is often hard to express, there are always suitable and in good taste. Many people want to express their heartfelt sympathy and show respect for the deceased in different ways: Food, Fruits and Gourmet Baskets, Charitable donations, provisions, aid and support, cards and flowers sent to the family’s home or to the funeral service. Floral Blooms always play a useful part, adding beauty and warmth to the service and providing the visible emotional and touching support that the closest relatives in distress need during this hard time. Funeral directors say that most people do not want a service completely devoid of flowers.

Q: On the other hand, do some flower arrangements look too “joyful” for a funeral?
|
|
A: Usually not. A funeral service is a way to pay tribute but also is a moment of celebration for someone’s life, and cheery, bright and colorful flowers are a significant portion of this homage. In addition to adding beauty to an otherwise solemn and sober occasion, flowers provide a comforting diversion - something to talk about or look at during the visitation. But ultimately is up to the family members to decide if they want the presence of cheerful colors or a more muted look for the Sympathy Floral Designs in Miami or Hialeah.
