Are you thinking about sending funeral flowers to a residence? If so, just so you know, it is now calledsympathy flowers. Sympathy flowers are different than funeral flowers as they do not have the typical funeral feel of a large flower arranged that is intended to be seen no matter where one is sitting at the funeral service. Rather, sympathy flowers are made in such a fashion that they fit perfectly in size to sit on a table, a counter, or the inside entrance of the home. The most popular flower arrangements for this purpose are white though it is not uncommon to send more colorful flower arrangements to residences.

Sympathy flowers are intended to provide a moment of distraction for the recipient in a time of grief. Yes, that distraction is just for a moment but sometimes that moment is exactly what the grief stricken recipient needs. The beauty & the scent of the flowers have a special way of touching our human senses.

Regarding sending funeral flowers to funeral homes, funeral flower sprays and funeral flower hearts are usually hand made by a floral designer hours before the funeral service. Each floral design is hand-crafted by an experienced floral designer who has your heart felt grief in mind while making the flower arrangement. Most florists know how important it is to express your sympathy sentiments in a meaningful way.

If you are sending flowers to a church it is recommended that you order a standing spray as they are tall enough to be seen by those who may be sitting toward the back of the pew area. The other item you may want to consider buying is an arrangement to go in front of the podium. Moreover, another often overlook flower arrangement spot is in the church foyer as it makes people feel a little bit more comfortable as they walk in.

If you are sending flowers to a cemetery it is recommended that you order a standing spray as they are completely appropriate for that type of venue. The standing sprays are arranged on a tripod that stands about 52 inches off the ground to the middle of the arrangement itself. Some standing sprays have bows and some do not, so as you browse through all the florists catalogs you can make decisions. Most florists, like that of Wessel’s Florist who deliver baltimore flowers in the Baltimore area, will accommodate your floral needs.

 The other item that makes for a good cemetery product is a plant. These are often sent because they are easy to transport back to the house. Out of all our plants, the Peace Plant is probably the most popular. The other popular plant is an Azalea.
