In times of grief, flowers are a timeless way to express sympathy and provide comfort when words are hard to find. Whether you're sending blooms to a funeral service or to a grieving family’s home, understanding the proper etiquette ensures your gesture is received with the care and respect it deserves. At Wonderfleu Mona, we specialise in condolence flowers in Singapore and are here to guide you through this meaningful gesture.
1. Choosing the Right Condolence Flowers
Each flower carries its own symbolic meaning. In Singapore, white lilies, chrysanthemums, and orchids are common choices for funeral arrangements, representing purity, peace, and eternal love. If you're unsure what to choose, our experienced florists can recommend arrangements that reflect both cultural sensitivity and heartfelt sympathy.
2. Respecting Cultural and Religious Traditions in Singapore
Singapore is a multicultural nation, and each community observes different customs around mourning. For example, Buddhist and Taoist funerals often feature white or yellow flowers, while Muslim families may prefer no flowers but welcome simple gestures of support. Christian services generally accept a variety of flower types. Our team is familiar with local funeral customs and can help you select appropriate flowers based on the family's background.
3. Selecting the Right Arrangement for the Occasion
Depending on the setting, different arrangements may be more appropriate:
-
Standing sprays and wreaths are typically sent to funeral homes or memorial services.
-
Table arrangements and condolence flower stands are suitable for wakes or receptions.
-
Smaller bouquet deliveries are often sent to the family’s home after the funeral as a gentle follow-up.
4. Adding a Thoughtful Message
A well-written condolence message can bring comfort during a difficult time. Common messages include:
-
“With deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences.”
-
“Thinking of you and your family during this time of sorrow.”
-
“In loving memory of someone so special.”
You may also include a personal memory or sentiment if you knew the deceased well. We’ll ensure your message is beautifully printed or handwritten with care.
5. When Should You Send Condolence Flowers in Singapore?
Timing is important. If possible, send your flowers before the funeral or wake begins. However, if you missed the service, it’s still thoughtful to send a condolence bouquet to the family’s home in the days or even weeks afterward. Many Singaporeans appreciate this ongoing gesture of support.
6. Signing Your Name Appropriately
Be sure to include your full name—or the name of your group or company—so the family knows who the flowers are from. This is especially important for corporate condolence flowers or group tributes.
