I ordered a Christmas centerpiece for my sister‑in‑law, and I’ll admit I was initially skeptical about ordering online since you don’t get to see the finished product beforehand. However, my sister‑in‑law sent me a photo of the arrangement, and it looked exactly as advertised—if not better. The service was prompt, efficient, and reliable. I’m very pleased with the experience and will definitely use them again.

These people are absolutely amazing. I had to get a surprise birthday bouquet delivered to my husband at his work and had a tight deadline to match due to his meetings. I placed the order online but needed the delivery before a certain time and when I called, Amany (please forgive me if I spelled the name wrong 🙏) was just so accommodating. She went above and beyond to help me out and got it delivered even before the time I requested. The bouquet was exactly what I was looking for 😍 The quality of the flowers and their service is just extraordinary, would definitely come back and recommend to others as well 🤗

As I am out of province, I wanted to have a get well bouquet ready for a family member when they returned from the hospital. There was a delay for the surgery so I had the florist put a hold on the delivery, not knowing whether it was going to be a delay for a day or a week or whatever. Even though the truck had gone out for the day, they were able to accommodate my delivery same day and the flowers arrived just in time! Thank you!

Customer service was great. The arrangement was exactly as pictured. Very happy and will use them again.

What are Sympathy and Funeral Flowers?

Sympathy flowers are typically smaller, more understated arrangements designed to bring comfort to the family at home or during the funeral service. They serve as a heartfelt reminder of support and compassion. Consider, for example, our white gerbera daisy and rose funeral arrangement. Funeral flowers often take the form of larger floral displays, such as wreaths or sprays, that honour the life of the deceased and bring beauty to their farewell ceremony.

Colours for Sympathy and Funeral Flowers

Many people wonder what colour flowers they should choose for a funeral bouquet. Colour also has a major impact on what type of emotions are evoked. White funeral flowers are a very common and appropriate way to show your condolences during these tough times. We have a great selection of white sympathy and funeral flowers that will encapsulate your sincerest thoughts. Coloured sympathy arrangements are appropriate, but are more often used for celebrations of life. This is because colours like orange and yellow symbolize happiness and joy. With that in mind, don’t be afraid to add in some colour. There are no hard and fast rules for sympathy flowers. A great colour for sympathy flowers is a touch of red because it can symbolize elements of strength and passion.

What Do I Write on a Sympathy Card?

You might be thinking to yourself, “what is an appropriate sympathy message to be sent with flowers”? Sometimes it can be tricky to express your feelings in such a difficult and stressful time. The most important thing to remember is that your words should be comforting and express to the family or person that you are thinking about them. Here are some examples you could use:

  • “My deepest condolences to you and your family.”
  • “I am deeply sorry for your loss.”
  • “My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.”
  • “Thinking of you during these difficult times and hoping you are surrounded by love.”
