Collection Souvenirs de jeunesse

This collection grew from a wish to give families more than one way to honor a deceased loved one who stayed young at heart, still working through grief. Liatris and dendrobium orchids bring light pink and lavender color instead of one somber tone, and the Spathiphyllum keeps growing past the service.

All five arrangements, their colors, and delivery timing for the collection are covered below, along with thoughtful words for the sympathy card, whichever piece you send.

What's Included in This Flower Arrangement: The full set includes a standing spray, a casket spray, a basket, a second spray on a stand, and a Large Elegant Spathiphyllum, built from roses, liatris, green mums, and dendrobium orchids. These arrangements also sell on their own, a personal way to send just what a family needs.

White, Pink, and Lavender Colors: Color follows each flower's nature here: lavender liatris spikes, white or pink dendrobium orchids, the Spathiphyllum's white blooms, and roses in a complementary soft pink shade. Note a preference at checkout and our designers will lean toward it.

Sizes and Presentation: Each arrangement is available on its own, and the full five-piece collection arrives together as one order. This casket spray follows the same design as our other casket sprays and standing sprays, suited to a funeral home's main room, while the basket and Spathiphyllum work well on a side table, their pink and white touches visible nearby. Ask about swapping any piece for a different size.

Remembrance Gifts for Every Kind of Service: This set suits a service for a person young at heart or known for bold energy, a joint gift from friends grieving a loved one. Coworkers commonly pool money from the office for one gift rather than several bouquets. The Spathiphyllum keeps going long after, a small thoughtfulness of its own.

Delivering Funeral Flowers for the Full Collection: We can send all five arrangements to a funeral home or family address, together or separately, one less thing during a difficult time. Share the service time at checkout, and call if several people split one order.

• The cut roses, liatris, and mums need no water before the service and hold their shape on their own.
• The Spathiphyllum needs weekly watering to keep its blooms going, a small memory that lasts long after the rest of the set is gone.

• A specific rose grade or orchid variety can occasionally be unavailable in our sympathy arrangements.
• When that happens, our designers substitute one of equal value, preserving the collection's shape and color across all five arrangements.

How do I send sympathy flowers as just one piece instead of the full set?

Yes, each arrangement is available on its own, including the Spathiphyllum, or a group can send all five sympathy flowers as one order. This combination is commonly sent when several people share one gift rather than smaller ones.

What should I write on the sympathy card that comes with this collection?

A short, sweet line offering condolences and support works well, such as 'with deepest sympathy' or 'thinking of you and your family.' Sincere words that express your feelings mean more to the recipient than anything elaborate. Call our shop if you're unsure what to write, for help finding the right words.
