Throughout the world, sympathy flowers have played an important
role in funeral customs because of their fragrant beauty and comforting qualities. What’s more, they serve
as a herald of hope reminding us of
the spirit of life. In ancient times, tradition called for loved ones to use flowers and herbs to anoint the
bodies of the deceased, while
aromatic flowers and plants were
used to decorate the burial site. Today, flowers remain one of the
most beautiful ways to express our condolences when words fail us.
During times of sorrow, sympathy flowers are messengers of hope when it’s needed most. Need help getting started? Shop our Sympathy Collection by location, color or price. Or read on for more helpful information.
