Here is our advice:
If you are sending condolence flowers to the family at home, then we highly recommend sending a vox bouquet to the House. 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 flowers in a vox box (portable vase) is the perfect answer. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness, and notice how long your flowers lasted.
Our Auckland florists also recommend sending your condolences with a floral arrangement.
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.
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 card messages. You'll find easy sympathy card messages, quotes and nice sayings to send your condolences.
House plants are a very thoughtful and kind sympathy gesture. Our Auckland Florist shop has a wide range of plants to send your sympathies - both flowering plants & leafy green house plants. Sending a 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.
To send flowers to an Auckland funeral service, the most popular sympathy flowers would be to send a vox bouquet 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.
To allow timely delivery, please order flowers the day before the funeral to ensure we 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:
Name of the deceased, Place & time of the funeral service, (funeral directors if you have that information). We can deliver sympathy & funeral flowers to South Auckland, West Auckland, City & Central suburbs, delivery to the North Shore & East Auckland.
