Here is our professional advice:
Our Auckland florists recomend sending an easy-care Bereavement Vox Bouquet, to the family at home. Your fresh flowers will be delivered in water, including flower food. A vox box is extremely easy for the bereaved family to look after in this busy and stressful time. They will also run out of vases very quickly, so sending them sympathy flowers in a vox box (portable vase) is the perfect answer.
They will appreciate your thoughtfulness, and notice how long your flowers lasted.
The florists team at Best Blooms, also recommend sending your condolences with a floral arrangement. These are easy-to-look-after blooms, that are pre-arranged by our florists in a keepsake container. To care for an arrangement of sympathy flowers, add water daily.
An arrangment is more compact and fit perfectly on a table or dresser for them to display your flowers.
By far our most popular floral option to send your condolences is a bouquet of white flowers, such as the Peace Bouquet, but in truth there is not right or wrong approach to the colour of the flowers - the choice is up to you. A condolence bouquet could be in soft and subtle shades, or bright and cheery flowers to celebrate the life of the deceased, there is no right or wrong approach to the colour of the flowers, the choice is up to you.
The best advice is to select a sympathy bouquet you think the family will appreciate, and in colours that remind you of them, or one that makes your heart feel good when you choose it online. Sending flowers allows you to feel a personal connection with the family to send your love.
Writing your sympathy card message is one of the hardest things to sort when sending bereavement flowers. Our florists advise writing from the heart, and perhaps share a personal memory of the deceased.
TOP TIP - Please Don't forget to sign your card! It can cause discomfort for the family, if they don't know who sent the flowers.
Best Blooms has written a helpful guide for writing your sympathy card messages. You'll find easy sympathy card messages, quotes and nice sayings to send your condolences.
Potted House plants are a very thoughtful and kind sympathy gesture. Our Auckland Florist shop has a wide range of Sympathy Plant Gifts. Choose from flowering plants or leafy green house plants. Sending a sympathy plant with your condolences would be a very acceptable custom to send for bereavements anywhere in Auckland NZ.
Orchid Plants or Peace Lilies can live for years, and often come into flower again on the anniversary of their passing, making them an even more poignant gift of rememberance.
In New Zealand it is customary to send flowers for a funeral service. The most popular sympathy flowers, would be to send a bouquet in Vox Box or sheaf of flowers. This gives the family the choice afterwards to take the flowers home, or donate the bouquet to hospice, a hospital ward or rest home in memory of their loved one.
In New Zealand wreaths of flowers are traditionally sent to the funeral itself and not to the home.
A funeral wreath is usually sent by absent family members, or groups, organisations and workplaces as a more formal gesture of remembrance and Tribute. There is rich symbolism in sending a floral wreath, as it is an unbroken symbol of love and respect.
Please order flowers the day before the funeral, to allow our florists time to create your bouquet, and our floral couriers can meet the delivery deadline. (and account for Auckland Traffic!).
To get flowers delivered to the funeral on time - Information we need for your order:
