The Comfort Finder
When words are hard, start with the feeling.
Not sure what sympathy flowers or memorial gift to send? The Comfort Finder helps you choose a meaningful gift by feeling, occasion, and delivery location. Whether you want to send peace, love, strength, remembrance, hope, or comfort for the family, we can help guide you toward the right sympathy arrangement.
What Do You Want Your Gift to Say?
A sympathy gift does not have to be perfect to be meaningful. Start with the feeling you want to send, and choose a flower arrangement, plant, wreath, spray, or gift basket that gently expresses your heart.
Peace
Choose soft white flowers, lilies, orchids, peace lilies, or gentle vase arrangements when you want your gift to feel calm, graceful, and comforting.
Love
Choose roses, pink and white flowers, mixed sympathy bouquets, or elegant arrangements when you want to send love, tenderness, and heartfelt remembrance.
Strength
Choose green plants, dish gardens, orchids, or lasting sympathy plants when you want to send quiet strength and support in the days ahead.
Hope
Choose bright but gentle flowers, plants, and mixed arrangements when you want to remind someone that they are loved and not alone.
Remembrance
Choose wreaths, standing sprays, memorial flowers, or classic white arrangements when you want to honor a life with dignity and remembrance.
Comfort for the Family
Choose sympathy gift baskets, fruit baskets, snack baskets, or thoughtful food gifts when family and friends may be gathering together.
For the Funeral Service
Choose standing sprays, funeral wreaths, floor baskets, or casket sprays when the flowers are being sent to a funeral home, church, chapel, or memorial service.
Something That Lasts
Choose peace lilies, green plants, orchids, dish gardens, or keepsake-style sympathy gifts when you want the family to have something lasting after the service.
Choose where it will be delivered
The right sympathy gift often depends on where it is going. Flowers for a funeral service are usually different from flowers sent directly to a grieving family’s home.
Sending to a Funeral Home, Church, or Chapel
For funeral services, viewings, memorials, and celebrations of life, formal arrangements are usually best. Standing sprays, wreaths, floor baskets, and casket sprays are designed to be displayed during a service.
Sending to a Home, Office, or Family Gathering
For home delivery, choose gifts that are easier for the family to keep and display. Vase arrangements, basket arrangements, plants, orchids, dish gardens, and sympathy gift baskets are thoughtful choices.
Choose by Relationship
You do not have to overthink it. A sincere gift with a thoughtful card message is enough. Here are gentle suggestions based on your relationship to the person or family.
For a Close Family Member
Consider a casket spray, standing spray, funeral wreath, large sympathy arrangement, or meaningful plant. Close family members often choose larger funeral tributes.
For a Friend
A sympathy bouquet, plant, orchid, dish garden, or gift basket is a warm and thoughtful way to show support without feeling too formal.
For a Coworker or Client
Choose an elegant vase arrangement, sympathy plant, peace lily, orchid, or sympathy gift basket that feels respectful and appropriate for an office or business relationship.
For the Whole Family
Food baskets, fruit baskets, snack baskets, plants, and mixed sympathy arrangements can bring comfort when family members are gathering together.
Not Sure What to Write on the Card?
Short, sincere messages are often the most comforting. Your card does not need to say everything. It only needs to let them know they are loved and remembered.
