Send heartfelt sympathy gifts when words are hard to find. Shop sympathy flowers, funeral flowers, standing sprays, wreaths, casket flowers, sympathy plants and comforting gift baskets for delivery to homes, funeral homes, churches, memorial services and grieving families across the United States.
When someone is grieving, the right gift should feel comforting, respectful and easy to receive. Sympathy flowers are often chosen for funeral homes and memorial services, while sympathy gift baskets, food gifts and plants are thoughtful for families at home in the days after a loss.
This page helps shoppers quickly choose the right sympathy gift by occasion, delivery location and relationship. Whether you need flowers for a service, a plant that lasts, or a food basket a family can share, the goal is the same: send something kind, appropriate and meaningful.
Include the deceased person's name, the family name, the service date and the funeral home address. For sprays, wreaths and casket flowers, order early so the arrangement can arrive before the service begins.
Sending to a Home
Sympathy baskets, plants and food gifts are often best for home delivery because they can be received after the service and shared by family members, visitors and close friends.
Choosing Flowers vs. Food
Flowers are more traditional for the service. Food baskets are more practical for the home. Plants are a lasting option when you want the gift to remain after fresh flowers have faded.
Writing the Card
Keep the message warm and simple: “With heartfelt sympathy,” “Thinking of you and your family,” or “Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.”
