During trials and times of suffering, whether physical, emotional, or both, it is important for those in pain and emotional distress to receive support and love from their friends and family. Sympathy flowers provide a way to lift the spirits and show a person’s willingness to support their friend or loved one during their time of grief.
Flowers have a noticeable affect on the human psyche, and sympathy flowers are no exception to this. The inherent and natural beauty of a perfectly arranged bouquet can invoke a large range of emotions, and the more muted and tranquil colours and settings used in a sympathy flower arrangements creates an air of calm and peace in the midst of life’s storms.
Aside from the visual loveliness of the flowers, the scent of the petals creates a natural perfume that delights the senses in a way that not even the most talented perfumers can emulate. Flowers improve the quality of the very air that is breathed, and this may assist in soothing the mind of those who are undergoing severe trials and tribulations.
Sympathy flowers arranged by Serenata come in a wide range of styles, from wreaths to casket sprays, classic arrangement to cushions. All floral arrangement are hand formed and delivered by professional florists that will ensure the arrangement arrives at its destination in perfect condition.
Each arrangement comes with a sympathy card that allows the sender to write a message to the recipient. The sender should take some time out of their day to write a message that offers support, encouragement and love to the recipient. This note, combined with the beautiful arrangement, will be a gift that will be remembered for years to come.

Q: Are there any flowers inappropriate to send for sympathy?
A: As a rule, sympathy flowers tend to be more muted in hue (pastels, whites) and less flamboyant in design (nothing loud or overly architectural) – but any arrangement tastefully fashioned and sent with a caring message is likely to be well received. Something homely and colourful might conjure fond memories in a house that is grieving, while dramatic tones and larger blossoms are a popular choice at funerals and tribute services.
Q: How do you write a sympathy message to go with the flowers?
A: A personal message is always well received. You might mention the things you’ll miss most about someone, or how you’ll always smile remembering a certain time with them. Keep the memories positive; when we lose someone, it’s an opportunity to reflect and celebrate all that was wonderful about that person. If you don’t know the family well, it’s also quite acceptable to send a simple message such as “with love and sympathy” or “with deepest sympathy”.
At a time of loss, it’s easy to become disenchanted. A simple arrangement of flowers can be a welcome reminder of happier days, evoking fond memories that provide comfort and the courage to prevail over grief.
