Sympathy and Funeral Flowers by Scent & Violet

Sympathy Flowers & Funeral Arrangements in Houston

During times of loss, sympathy flowers provide comfort, express condolences, and honor the memory of loved ones. Our comprehensive sympathy and funeral flower collection includes everything from traditional casket sprays and standing wreaths to modern celebration of life arrangements and sympathy plants. Whether you're attending a funeral service, memorial, celebration of life, or sending flowers to a grieving family's home, we can help you select the perfect tribute.

Funeral Flowers for Family Members

Casket Sprays: The most significant floral tribute, casket sprays are traditionally ordered by the closest family members—spouse, children, parents, or siblings. These large, elegant arrangements rest on top of the casket and serve as the family's final floral farewell. We offer full-couch casket sprays (covering the entire casket) and half-couch sprays (designed for partially open caskets). Each spray can be customized with meaningful flowers, colors, and personal touches.

Matching Floral End Pieces: Immediate family members often order matching standing sprays, wreaths, or crosses to complement the casket spray. These coordinated arrangements create a cohesive, beautiful display that honors your loved one while representing the family's collective tribute.

Family Flowers: The term "family flowers" refers to the complete set of floral tributes arranged by immediate family members, typically including the casket spray and coordinating pieces. We work closely with families to design cohesive arrangements that reflect their loved one's personality, favorite colors, and cherished flowers.

Sympathy Flowers for Friends & Extended Family

Standing Sprays: Tall, impressive arrangements displayed on easels, standing sprays are appropriate for friends, extended family, colleagues, and organizations. These versatile tributes can be traditional or contemporary, formal or colorful, depending on the tone of the service and your relationship to the deceased.

Sympathy Wreaths: Circular wreaths symbolize eternal life and unending love. Available in various sizes and styles, wreaths can be displayed on easels at the service or sent to the family's home as a lasting tribute.

Sympathy Crosses & Hearts: Religious and symbolic arrangements like floral crosses and hearts offer meaningful tributes for funeral and memorial services. These specialty shapes can be customized to reflect faith, love, and remembrance.

Sympathy Baskets & Bouquets: Smaller, versatile arrangements perfect for sending to the funeral home, church, or family's residence. These thoughtful tributes provide comfort without overwhelming the space and can be easily transported home after the service.

Memorial Service & Celebration of Life Flowers

Modern memorial services and celebrations of life often call for brighter, more personalized floral tributes. We create custom arrangements featuring vibrant colors, favorite flowers, and designs that celebrate a life well-lived rather than focusing solely on loss. From garden-style arrangements to contemporary designs incorporating hobbies and interests, we can help you create a meaningful, personalized tribute.

Urn Surrounds: For cremation services, urn surround arrangements beautifully frame the cremation urn, creating an elegant focal point for the memorial. These circular or crescent-shaped designs can be traditional or contemporary, depending on your preferences.

Sympathy Flowers for the Home

Sending sympathy flowers to the family's home is a thoughtful gesture that provides comfort in the days and weeks following a loss. Home arrangements should be appropriately sized for residential display and can include:

- Sympathy bouquets and vase arrangements

- Sympathy plant baskets (peace lilies, orchids, green plants)

- Dish gardens and succulent arrangements

- Gourmet sympathy gift baskets paired with flowers

These tributes offer lasting comfort and can be enjoyed long after the funeral service has ended.

Ordering Sympathy & Funeral Flowers

We require a minimum of 48 hours notice for all sympathy and funeral flower arrangements to ensure the freshest blooms and proper design time. When ordering, please provide:

- The deceased's full name

Due to seasonal availability, some flower substitutions may be necessary. We always maintain the style, color palette, and sentiment of your chosen arrangement while ensuring the highest quality.

Sympathy Flower Etiquette & Guidance

Who should send flowers? Anyone who knew the deceased or wants to support the grieving family can send sympathy flowers. This includes family members, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and business associates.

Where should flowers be sent? Flowers can be sent to the funeral home for the service, to the family's home, or both. Larger arrangements (standing sprays, wreaths) are typically sent to the funeral home, while smaller bouquets and plants work well for home delivery.

What if the family requests "no flowers"? We believe that funerals without flowers feel sad, but it is up to your personal preference if you'd prefer to make a donation, send flowers, or do both.

What should the card say? Keep sympathy card messages brief and heartfelt. Express your condolences, share a fond memory if appropriate, and offer support. Address the card to the closest family member or "The Family of [Deceased's Name]." For more inspiration, read our guide on most popular sympathy card messages.

Alternative Sympathy Gifts

If you need a sympathy gift with shorter notice or prefer a longer-lasting tribute, explore our sympathy plants collection. Peace lilies, orchids, and green plants provide enduring comfort and require less advance notice than fresh flower arrangements.
