Sympathy Offerings 2023
We know that planning this type of event is tremendously challenging and so we strive to create a simple and stressfree experience for you. As with everything we do, our offerings are highly customizable, but this guide is meant to give you a simple place to start to understand your options, and also to give you the option of a "leave it with us approach", so you can consider this taken care of.
This guide is a comprehensive list of the floral pieces typically provided by the immediate family for the funeral set up.
Casket Spray
This is a large floral piece to be placed on top of the casket as a floral tribute to the deceased. This gives the impression of a blanket of flowers. Depending on whether the casket will be open or not, you may choose a half casket spray (meant to be displayed on the bottom half of the casket if it will be open) or a full casket spray which will extend the length of the casket (if it will be closed).
Half: starting at $150
Full: starting at $300
Urn Arrangements
These med-large arrangements are built in pedestal containers and can be used in a very versatile way. They can be displayed on pedestals at the front or sides of the room, they may also be used as table decor, and are lovely options to take home after the service.
Starting at: $175
Memorial wreaths
Memorial wreaths can be used to display photographs placed in the centre, or a cremation urn.
Starting at: $90
Standing spray
This flower display is designed to be one-sided and mounted on an easel (included) near the front and sides of a room during funeral viewings. It can be created in multiple shapes. Some shapes include: natural burst shape, heart, cross, and wreaths.
Starting at: $125
Vase Bouquet Arrangements
These smaller vase arrangements can be a lovely addition to displays, as well as table decor throughout the venue. These pieces are a nice size for family members to be able to take home after the service
Starting at: $100
We want to create pieces with as much meaning as possible and believe your customization of them only adds to the comfort that they can provide. If you have ideas or special requests, please let us know and we will be happy to accomodate if at all possible.
Ways to customize
1
Pick a meaningful colour palette
Maybe there is a meaningful colour that we can use or perhaps you would like to explore some traditional colour meanings.
2
Flowers with meaning
Many flower varieties have symbolism associated with them, perhaps this can add some extra meaning. Or perhaps there are flowers with particular meaning to you?

Let the design reflect their memory
Let us create these peices in the style of the person they will honour. Maybe they loved gardening and a softer whimsical style might be a beautiful tribute. Or maybe the use of trailinng greenery and natural shapes might honour their love of nature. Perhaps they had a favourite flower we can include.
We would love to chat with you and set up an initial consult.
