Collection: Sympathy Flowers Delivered to Home or Office

A Guide to Sending Condolence Flowers in Perth

When words aren't enough, flowers offer a quiet reminder that you care.
At Spearwood Florist, we understand that sending flowers to a grieving
family requires sensitivity. Below is our guide to choosing the right
gesture for the home or office.

Choosing the Right Style for the Home

We generally recommend low-maintenance options for bereavement gifts, as grieving families often have many tasks to manage.

• Box Arrangements (Recommended): These are the most popular choice for sympathy deliveries in Perth. They arrive arranged in their own water source, meaning the family does not need to hunt for a vase or recut stems. They can simply place the flowers on a table and appreciate them.
  
  
• Peace Lilies & Living Plants: A Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) or Phalaenopsis Orchid is a beautiful, lasting tribute. They symbolise peace and renewal, offering comfort that continues long after the service has passed.
  
  
• Vase Arrangements: If you choose cut flowers, selecting a “Vase Included” option is thoughtful, ensuring the recipient doesn’t need to arrange the flowers themselves.
  

Our “Quiet Delivery” Promise

We understand that during times of loss, families may be resting, gathering
with relatives, or attending appointments.

• Discreet Service: Our drivers are trained to deliver respectfully and quietly.
  
• If No One is Home: If the family is out, we will find a cool, shaded, and safe location to leave the flowers. We will never leave them exposed to the sun or street view.
  
  
• Apartments & Offices: We deliver to secure complexes and workplaces daily. Please provide a mobile number for the recipient so we can ensure smooth access if the intercom is unanswered.
  

What to Write on a Sympathy Card

Finding the right words can be difficult. All our cards are hand-written for
a personal touch. Here are some simple, sincere messages that are always appropriate:

• “Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.”
• “With heartfelt sympathy and love. We are here for you.”
• “In loving memory—our thoughts are with you.”
• “May these flowers bring a little light to your days.”

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between sympathy flowers and funeral flowers?

Sympathy flowers are usually sent to the family home or workplace to offer comfort, while funeral flowers are designed for the service (e.g., wreaths, casket sprays, large tributes).

2) What flowers are appropriate for sympathy?

Soft whites, creams and gentle pastels are common, but we can tailor colours to the family’s preferences or the recipient’s favourite blooms.

3) What is the best type of flower arrangement to send to a grieving family?

We generally recommend low-maintenance options, as grieving families often have many tasks to manage and may not have the time or energy to arrange flowers.

• Box Arrangements (recommended): These arrive in their own water source, so the family can place them on a table without needing a vase or recutting stems.
  
• Peace lilies & living plants: A lasting tribute that symbolises peace and renewal, offering comfort long after the service has passed.
  
• Vase arrangements: If you prefer cut flowers, choosing a “Vase Included” option ensures the recipient doesn’t need to do any work.
  

4) Can you help with a sympathy message?

Yes. If you’re unsure what to write, we can suggest short, respectful condolence messages for cards.

5) What should I write on the sympathy card?

Finding the right words can be difficult. All our cards are hand-written for a personal touch. Here are some simple, sincere messages:

• “Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.”
  
• “With heartfelt sympathy and love. We are here for you.”
  
• “In loving memory—our thoughts are with you.”
  

6) What is your “Quiet Delivery” promise?

We know families may be resting or with relatives during this time. Our drivers deliver discreetly and respectfully. If no one is home, we’ll leave the flowers in a cool, shaded, safe spot—out of the sun and out of street view.

7) Are lilies okay if the family has pets?

Lilies are traditional for sympathy but can be toxic to cats. If the family has pets, we recommend choosing a “Florist Choice” bouquet and adding a note:

“No lilies please – pet friendly.”

We will substitute with beautiful seasonal blooms, snapdragons, or native wildflowers.

8) Do you deliver to the entire Perth metro area?

Yes. While we are based in Cockburn Central, we provide daily delivery to the entire Perth metropolitan area, from the coastal suburbs of Fremantle and Coogee to the inner city and southern corridor.

9) Can I add something extra?

Absolutely. Many people choose to add a box of chocolates or wine to their flower order. You can select these additions on the product page before checkout.
