Besides flowers, are there alternatives for sending condolences?

Besides a normal flower bouquet, condolence flowers come in all shapes and sizes. Pick the right flowers to send depending on your needs and sentiment you wish to pass on to the deceased and their grieving family. Flower Stands This is a popular choice and can be an option for distant family members, acquaintances and friends. As its name suggests, it’s typically large flower arrangements placed on a stand and can be delivered to funeral parlours, churches and burial sites. These are usually displayed near the casket or on the path leading to the mourning site. Wreaths Family and close friends might prefer wreaths. These are large flower arrangements curated in circle (symbolising eternal life), heart (representing love) or cross (a sign of faith). These flower wreaths are usually placed on a stand and sent to the gravesite, but can also be suitable for funeral homes and churches. Like the flower stands, these are also usually displayed near the casket. Casket Sprays Close family members of the deceased can opt for casket sprays. This is a long flower arrangement covering the top of a casket. It is displayed on top of the casket for the duration of the funeral service.

What should I write on the message card?

The card can be addressed to the deceased or more commonly, the bereaving family. Write something short and thoughtful, fitting for a last farewell. Express how sorry you feel for the passing, your memory of the deceased and your support for the grieving family. Here are some suggestions for your condolence message: We’re so sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you and your family in your time of sorrow. Please accept our deepest condolences. Know that you & your family are in our thoughts and prayers, always. Though our words can do little to ease your sorrows, please know that you'll always have our support during your time of need. Try to avoid generic, cookie cutter phrases like: Be strong. Everything happens for a reason. I understand how you feel.

FAQ

Your Q&As On Condolence Flowers

For condolence flowers, you should start picking your flowers as soon as you get news of the passing. If you can, check with the deceased’s family on the date, time and place of the funeral or memorial service so your delivery will arrive at a suitable time.

Note that flowers are welcome for certain religions and not suitable for others. To be on the safe side, check with the grieving family if sending flowers would be a welcome gesture.

Protestant
Send flowers.
Funerals and memorial services commemorate the deceased’s mortal life and celebrate their reunion with God. These are usually conducted by a minister or pastor in the presence of family, friends and close acquaintances. Flowers can be delivered to the deceased’s home, funeral home or the burial site. Generally, all flower types and colours are accepted.

Catholic
Send flowers.
Funerals are usually preceded by a vigil or wake in church, where family, friends and the parish can pay their respects and say a final farewell. Flowers can be delivered to the church (location of the wake), funeral home or the burial site. Usually, most flower types and colours are suitable but most go for white.

Buddhist
Send flowers.
Conducted by monks in the deceased’s home or funeral home. Family members of the deceased wear white and friends wear black as a sign of respect. Go for white funeral flower arrangements unless the deceased is above 80 years old, in which case you can use red or other more cheerful colours.

Muslim
Check with the deceased’s family on flowers.
Muslim funerals are time sensitive and the practice is to bury the deceased as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours. Close family members of the same gender as the deceased will perform the funeral rites, including preparing the body for burial. As simplicity and minimalism is one of the central concepts of Islam, flowers are usually not given.

Hindu
Send flowers.
Hindu funerals are held within one day after death and conducted by a Hindu priest in the deceased's home. Funeral attendees usually wear casual white clothes. Flowers can be sent to the deceased’s home. Usually, most flower types and colours are suitable.

If you were a close friend of the deceased, perhaps you may want to choose flowers that he/she loved. You can also choose more understated colour variants of those flowers. However, as a general guide, here are some flowers that are suitable for conveying your condolences.

White lilies are associated with heaven, purity of the soul and rebirth.
Carnations could be white (pure love and innocence), red (admiration) or pink (remembrance).
Chrysanthemums convey death and mourning.
For a wider range of colours, go for Roses. White roses for purity and innocence; red for respect, love and courage; pink for love and grace; crimson for grief and sorrow; and yellow for friendship
Orchids are also a good option. Usually white Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium orchids are used to represent sympathy and eternal life.
