Need help choosing sympathy flowers for delivery in Winnipeg?  Here is what we at Valley Flowers would recommend.

Flowers have always been a symbol for expressing what words cannot. Floral arrangements are the perfect sympathy gifts for sending heartfelt sympathies and condolences to bereaved friends and family members. Having sympathy flowers delivered to a loved one or family members of the deceased, or to commemorate someone you’ve lost, can be a way to convey a message of support and comfort when the right words feel hard to find.

If you are looking to order a sympathy flower arrangement in Winnipeg, you may have some questions that feel personal or sensitive in nature. To help you navigate this delicate task, Valley Flowers has compiled a list of common etiquette questions regarding ordering sympathy flowers for delivery in Winnipeg.

What kind of sympathy flower arrangement is appropriate?

There is no right answer to this one. The sympathy flowers you order should express love and reflect your own personal message.

People sending flowers for a funeral or memorial service might want to consider that these venues are slightly larger, therefore a larger floral arrangement with all flowers facing forward would give a more regal and abundant look. However, smaller arrangements are also very appreciated and are generally placed at the sign in desk where they can be fully appreciated.
Generally the flowers on top of the casket are ordered by the immediate family member.

People choosing to send sympathy flowers to a family home tend to opt for arrangements suitable for a home. This could be anything from a simple elegant handtied bouquet, vase or classic arrangements.

What color and style of flowers should I send for sympathy or funeral flowers?

This is probably our most common question and one that is very difficult to answer!

 
One option is to choose flowers that reflect the deceased. Should the deceased be a more quieter person, maybe a delicate floral arrangement in soft tones would be best. Should the deceased be a bold and boisterous , maybe something in bold colors would reflect their personality best. Did they love a certain color or flower? Send something that would include that. 

Also take into consideration the style of service? Is it a celebration of a life well  lived? Something happy and uplifting might be a great choice. Is the service due to a tragic and premature passing? Maybe softer tones would be better for that. This does not mean all white, softer colors  can be equally soothing in these situations.

These are just rough guidelines though, as each funeral service is as unique as the loved one lost!

Are there times I should not be sending sympathy flowers?

This is a question that does require some thought and discernment based on various cultural traditions that the family practices. A quick google search can give some insightful information regarding sending flowers to specific cultural services.

For example, s it a Jewish funeral, then a kosher fruit basket is more acceptable to send to the service instead of flowers.

For Muslim services, it it customary to send flowers to the family’s home during the 40 day morning period, rather than the funeral itself.

Are there any flowers I should avoid when sending sympathy flowers in Winnipeg?

Generally, this would reflect on the culture traditions of the deceased.

For example, some may find a red rose to be a symbol of a life lived with love and passion. However, Asian cultures associate red flowers with different meanings and it would not be appropriate to send to a funeral or memorial service.

Again, a quick google search can give you information as to specific cultural funeral etiquette.
