• Roses are the flower of true love, which makes them a natural choice for sympathy flower delivery. Since roses come in a variety of colors, you can select the color that best represents the deceased or your relationship to them.

While it depends on your relationship to the deceased, spending between $70-$90 is appropriate for a tasteful sympathy bouquet. If you are closer to the family of the deceased, then spending more might be appropriate. Remember, it's the gesture of kindness that counts the most. Whatever you select will not only help comfort the grieving family and friends, but also show them that you care and are there for them.

There are many flowers that are appropriate for sending sympathies or offering your condolences. As mentioned above, roses, lilies, and chrysanthemums are among the most commonly bought condolence flowers, but there are other options, as well. If you know someone’s favorite flower, you could choose a bouquet that features those to convey your sincerest remembrance.

Sometimes it can be hard to find the right words to write in a card no matter the occasion, but sympathy may be the hardest. After all, no words exist to cure somebody's grief. Rather, your goal is to express your support for the mourner.  A few phrases that we commonly see on sympathy cards include things like:

• My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
• I'm sorry for your loss.
• My deepest sympathies and sincere condolences as you mourn.
