Sympathy Flowers for the Home — What to Send After the Funeral

Almost everyone sends flowers in the first week. Then the calls stop, the casseroles run out, and the house gets quiet. Flowers that arrive three weeks later often mean more than anything sent to the funeral home.

What to send to a home

Keep it modest and low-maintenance. A vased arrangement that needs no arranging, a green plant, or a peace lily. Skip anything that requires a vase they'd have to find, and skip strong fragrance in a small house.

Soft palettes — white, cream, blush, pale blue — feel gentler than bright, celebratory colors in the weeks after a loss.

The card matters more than the flowers

Don't write 'sorry for your loss' and stop. Name the person. Say one specific thing you remember about them. Two honest sentences outperform any card verse we could print for you, and our card message is free.

Anniversaries and birthdays

The first birthday, wedding anniversary, and death anniversary are hard days. A small arrangement on one of those dates tells a family their person hasn't been forgotten. We keep standing reminders for customers who ask.

Delivering to Dalton homes

We deliver to homes across Dalton and the surrounding Whitfield County area, and we'll call ahead if you'd rather the family not be caught off guard. Order by 1 PM Tuesday through Saturday for same-day delivery.
