Sympathy Flowers

Sympathy flowers are a thoughtful way to express your condolences and support at a difficult time. Our sympathy bouquets are hand-crafted in our Aberdeen flower shop using soft, comforting colours and fresh, seasonal blooms, designed to be tasteful and appropriate for sending to family, friends or colleagues who have suffered a loss.

We can create simple, elegant bouquets or more traditional arrangements to suit your message and budget. All sympathy flowers are made fresh to order and can be delivered across Aberdeen and the surrounding areas, or collected from our shop on King Street.

What is the difference between sympathy flowers and funeral flowers?

Sympathy flowers are usually sent to the family home or sometimes to a workplace as a personal gesture of support, while funeral flowers are designed specifically for the service, church or crematorium. Sympathy bouquets tend to be softer and more understated, often arranged in a hand-tied design or vase so they are easy to display at home.

What colours are suitable for sympathy flowers?

Soft, calming colours such as whites, creams, pale pinks and lilacs are often chosen for sympathy flowers, but we can also include favourite colours of the person who has passed away if you prefer. Our florists will create a tasteful, respectful design in the colour palette you feel is most appropriate.

Where can sympathy flowers be delivered in Aberdeen?

We can deliver sympathy flowers to homes, flats and workplaces across Aberdeen, as well as directly to local funeral directors if requested. Many people choose to send sympathy flowers to the family home as a quiet expression of support in the days and weeks following a loss. If you are unsure what is best, we are happy to offer guidance.

Can you help with the wording for a sympathy message?

We understand it can be difficult to find the right words at a sad time. If you would like help, we can suggest simple, heartfelt phrases to express your condolences, which we will then handwrite on the card that accompanies your flowers. For any questions or special requests, please call us on (44) 01224 622162 or email flowers@aflorists.com.
