Sympathy bouquet - what is it?
A condolence/sympathy bouquet is a bouquet of fresh flowers sent to someone, shortly after a death of their loved one. This bouquet is an expression of our sympathy and support for the mourner in a difficult and sad time. A condolence bouquet is usually made of elegant, delicate flowers. The most popular are white lilies and white roses, which are symbols of hope, love, respect and innocence. An integral part of the condolence bouquet is a card with a dedication full of our support.
Sympathy bouquets - where to deliver them?
Where to send your condolence bouquet? A condolence bouquet is often confused with a funeral bouquet, which is delivered at a funeral ceremony and is intended to show respect for the deceased person.
Condolence bouquets are not intended for a funeral, but to provide emotional support to (one of) the mourners. They have the form of a bouquet that can be put in a vase, so they are most often sent to the home address or the place where she/he currently resides.
