Frequently Asked Questions

When is it appropriate to send Sympathy flowers?

Sending sympathy flowers is an excellent show of care for your loved ones, both the dearly departed and the deeply bereaved. Often, the larger floral arrangements for the funeral or service are purchased by close family or friends, but smaller arrangements are a fantastic way to pay tribute to the deceased. Sending flowers, gifts, or plants to the home is a tasteful way to show compassion for a bereaved loved one. Sending arrangements to the home, to your friends and family, is also a wonderful way to show compassion when the dearly departed does not want flowers at their funeral.

What should you write in a sympathy arrangement?

Write sympathy messages from the heart. Classic poems, like Footsteps in the Sand, Because I Could Not Stop For Death, Nothing Gold Can Stay, and Loss are common ways to bring comfort to your loved ones. Simple messages can speak volumes. If you are having difficulty deciding what to write, call our floral designers. We can help talk you through your writer’s block.

What is the symbolism behind sympathy flowers?

Sympathy & Condolence Flowers play many roles. They can pay tribute, celebrate, or honor your dearly departed, and bring comfort to your bereaved loved ones. A few strong flower choices because of their symbolism include white lilies, which represent peace, and red roses to represent love. Gladioli are tall and majestic, representing character, moral integrity, and sincerity.

What should I send "in lieu of flowers"?

Sending gifts and plants to the home is a sign of compassion to your loved ones in a dark time. Gift baskets can be a wonderful way to show care, and Gainan’s offers a wide selection of keepsakes to keep your dearly departed in mind.

Can I send flowers directly to the funeral home?

    I would like to leave a public thank you to Tracy who helped me with a phone order today. My elderly mother is now only able to see shades of yellow and Tracy was extremely helpful with suggestions for the perfect flower arrangement. She was so helpful, thoughtful and her wonderful sense of humor made my time on the fun ( only getting flowers is better)! 🌼🌹🌻. Please give her a pat on the back from me (if that’s still allowed), you have an excellent employee!!! Thanks Tracy!!!

    Naya at Gainan's assisted our company flower order today. The flower shop in Roundup couldn't complete our sympathy flower order for a funeral the next day. I called Gainan's hoping they delivered to Roundup and Naya went above and beyond to accomplish the task for us for this busniess assoiciate's Father's funeral. Thank you Gainan's for caring, complete customer service provided by Naya!

    The flowers that we ordered for my mother in law to be delivered to the hospital arrived the day I ordered them and they were beautiful.

    Amazing! Both my husband and I sent flower/ arrangements to each other for our anniversary. My roses are breathtakingly beautiful and fresh. He brought his candy arrangement home and it was beautifully wrapped with a manly bouquet in the middle. Thank you so much for being my #1 place for gifts.
