Grieving the loss of a loved one can be a difficult and emotional time. Sending sympathy s as a means of expressing condolences is a thoughtful and meaningful way to lend your support. There are many styles of funeral arrangements that are available, and the best one to send is generally related to your relationship with the deceased, as well as the location to which the s will be delivered. The team at Al’s Flowers is here to lend a compassionate hand in assisting you in choosing the best s for you.

Flowers can lift our spirits, as well as add beauty and comfort to those who are grieving. While any is appropriate for a funeral arrangements, historically, gladioli have been specifically connected with expressions of sympathy. Originating in Africa and the Mediterranean region, gladioli symbolize strength, honor and integrity, and are known as the “Flower of remembrance”.  Their striking, elegant stems of colorful blooms are a fitting tribute to your loved one.

Please note: The responsibility of providing casket sprays, urn arrangements or funeral s falls to the immediate family. If you are a friend or family member sending s, standing sprays, crosses and wreaths, as well as funeral baskets and personal bouquets are all appropriate.

Sending s to the funeral home is sure to be appreciated, but if you have a close relationship with the family, you may wish to send a more personal arrangement to the family residence. More formal arrangements, like the floral cross shown above, are generally not considered appropriate for home delivery.

Custom Sympathy Flowers: If the decedent had a love for pink roses, was a fanatic about a certain sports team, or was active in a particular hobby, speak with out designers about creating a custom design that is sure to remember them in a very special way.

Flowers in vases and baskets can be easily transported from the memorial service to the family home and can be sent to either location.
