Condolence Flowers: What They Mean and How to Send Them
Sending condolence flowers is a respectful way to express sympathy after someone has passed away. Flowers are often sent to a funeral parlour, memorial centre or wake as a gesture of remembrance and support for the family.
If you have never ordered funeral flowers before, you may not know what type of arrangement is appropriate, where it should be delivered or what message should be included.
This guide explains what condolence flowers are, when they are usually sent and how to order them.
What Are Condolence Flowers?
Condolence flowers are floral arrangements sent to express sympathy and respect after someone has passed away.
They are commonly displayed at a wake or funeral together with other floral tributes.
Condolence flowers may be sent by:
- Family members
- Friends
- Colleagues
- Companies
- Business partners
- Schools and organisations
The arrangement is a way to show that you are thinking of the family and remembering the person who has passed away.
What Are Condolence and Funeral Flowers?
The terms condolence flowers and funeral flowers are often used when talking about flowers sent after a death.
Condolence flowers generally describe flowers sent to express sympathy to the family.
Funeral flowers is a broader term that can refer to floral arrangements used for a funeral, wake or memorial service.
In everyday use, the two terms can overlap.
A condolence flower stand is one of the common arrangements ordered when flowers need to be sent directly to a funeral venue.
What Is a Condolence Flower Stand?
A condolence flower stand is a standing floral arrangement designed to be displayed at a wake, funeral or memorial service.
Unlike a bouquet that is normally carried or placed in a vase, a flower stand is designed to be displayed as part of the funeral setting.
It can be suitable when flowers are being sent by:
- An individual
- A family
- A group of friends
- Colleagues
- A company
- An organisation
At 80iflorist, customers can choose from our floral designs instead of selecting individual flowers and creating their own arrangement.
When Should You Send Condolence Flowers?
Condolence flowers are usually sent before or during the wake or funeral service so that they can be displayed at the venue.
If you receive the funeral details early, you can arrange the flowers ahead of the service.
However, funeral arrangements are sometimes confirmed at short notice. In that situation, you may need to arrange the flowers on the same day.
The important thing is to confirm the funeral location and delivery timing before placing the order.
Where Are Condolence Flowers Usually Sent?
Condolence flowers are commonly delivered directly to the location where the wake or funeral is being held.
This may include:
- Funeral parlours
- Memorial centres
- Wake venues
- Other locations arranged by the family
Always check the exact location before ordering.
This is particularly important when a funeral service provider has multiple branches.
For example, funeral services may be held at Nirvana 1, Nirvana 2 or Nirvana Shah Alam.
Providing the correct branch and location helps ensure the flowers are sent to the right venue.
Why Are Flower Stands Commonly Sent to Funerals?
A flower stand is practical for a funeral because it can be displayed at the entrance or around the wake together with other floral tributes.
It also allows the sender’s name or company name to be associated with the condolence message.
For this reason, condolence flower stands are commonly chosen by friends, colleagues, companies and organisations that want to send flowers directly to the funeral venue.
Who Can Send Condolence Flowers?
Anyone who wishes to express sympathy can send condolence flowers.
You do not have to be a close relative of the deceased.
Friends may send flowers to show their support to the family.
Colleagues may send flowers on behalf of a department or group.
Companies may send a condolence flower stand when a customer, business partner, employee or their family member passes away.
The arrangement can therefore be appropriate for both personal and professional relationships.
What Should You Write on a Condolence Card?
A condolence card does not need a long message.
A short and respectful message is often enough.
Examples include:
With Deepest Sympathy
Our Deepest Condolences
With Sincere Sympathy
Rest in Peace
With Deepest Sympathy From [Name / Company Name]
If you are unsure what to write, a simple message such as With Deepest Sympathy is suitable for many situations.
At 80iflorist, the message is provided for the card when placing the order.
Do You Need to Choose Individual Flowers?
Not necessarily.
At 80iflorist, customers can choose from our existing floral designs instead of selecting individual flowers and creating their own arrangement.
For condolence orders, this may include Condolence Flower Stand and Tribute BOUQUET designs.
This makes the ordering process simpler, especially if you are unfamiliar with funeral flowers or need to arrange a delivery quickly.

Condolence Flowers for Friends and Colleagues
Friends and colleagues often send condolence flowers when someone they know has passed away.

The message on the card can include the sender’s name, group name or company name.
Condolence Flowers from Companies and Organisations
