A Lasting Way to Say 'I'm Thinking of You


Whether you're sending plants for sympathy gifts, honoring a loved one at a memorial service, or simply letting someone know they're not alone, the right plant can speak what words cannot. Every funeral plant and sympathy plant in this collection is chosen for its beauty, its endurance, and its capacity to bring gentle comfort during the hardest days.

What to Know Before You Send a Funeral or Sympathy Plant

What is the best plant to send for sympathy?

The peace lily is the most traditional and widely recognized sympathy plant, symbolizing peace and the renewal of the spirit.Gardenias, white roses, and orchids are also deeply meaningful choices.

If you want a gift that will outlast the service, a memorial tree or potted rose gives the family something to plant and watch grow in the years ahead.

The "best" sympathy plant is simply one chosen with care — and anything in this collection fits that standard.

Is a plant better than flowers for a funeral?

Many families find plants more meaningful than cut flowers. Flowers wilt within a week, often at the exact moment grief feels heaviest.

A sympathy plant or funeral plant endures — becoming a quiet companion through the hardest months, and sometimes for years to come. For families seeking a lasting gesture, a living plant is often the more comforting choice.

What plants are appropriate for a funeral?

White-flowering plants are the most traditional choice for funerals and memorial services — peace lilies, white roses, gardenias, and white orchids all carry long-standing associations with peace and remembrance.

Green plants like olive trees and magnolias work beautifully too, especially when the family prefers something to plant outdoors.



Can funeral plants and sympathy plants be kept indoors?

Yes — many of our funeral plants and sympathy plants are chosen specifically because they thrive indoors.

Peace lilies, gardenias, and potted roses all do well as houseplants with modest light and regular watering.

If the family lives in an apartment or prefers low-maintenance greenery, an indoor sympathy plant or indoor funeral plant makes a thoughtful and practical choice.

What is a good sympathy plant for the loss of a mother or father?

For the loss of a mother or father, we often recommend something enduring — a memorial tree, a flowering rose, or a gardenia that can bloom year after year.

Many families find deep meaning in planting a tree in a parent's memory, creating a living place of remembrance they can visit across seasons.

Potted gardenias and peace lilies are equally beautiful choices for those who want something to keep close to home.

How do I send a sympathy plant to a funeral home or directly to the family?

You can send a sympathy plant directly to the family's home in the days that follow. Sending to the family's home often feels more personal, especially when the gift is meant to be kept and cared for long-term.

At checkout, simply enter the delivery address and include a note — we'll handle the rest with gentle care.

How quickly are sympathy plants delivered?

Every sympathy plant in our collection ships within 1–2 business days via FedEx Ground, so your gift arrives promptly and in gentle condition.

If you're sending to a funeral home, keep in mind our processing and shipping time frames.

For home delivery, there's no rush — a plant that arrives a few days after the service is often a welcome reminder that the family hasn't been forgotten.
