White chrysanthemums build this open heart, with red roses and Stargazer lilies cascading down one side and a red satin ribbon finishing the base. It's a sympathy flower arrangement built to say something specific: not just loss, but a bond that words alone can't always express.
Families send this for a spouse, a parent, or a lifelong partner, and it's meant to stand near the casket or at the front of a funeral service. The Stargazer lilies carry a sweet fragrance and deep pink-edged petals, while the roses hold their red color for days, so the tribute still looks complete even if the service is delayed. Many families choose this piece specifically to express a depth of feeling that a standard sympathy arrangement doesn't quite reach.
This design comes together by hand in our studio, following a process that traces back to 1903. Most pieces reach the funeral home the same day on orders placed by 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, noon on Sundays, with nationwide reach beyond that.
open heart standing arrangement of fresh white blooms, accented by red roses and Stargazer lilies cascading down one side and adorned with a red satin ribbon, will help you express the devotion and sympathy in your heart.
A widow once asked us for something that looked like what she'd lost, half of a whole. We built this open heart with white chrysanthemums for the frame and let red roses and Stargazer lilies cascade down one side, left unfinished on purpose. Families tell us it offers a kind of quiet support during a difficult time, and a lasting way to honor someone's memory.
This design's funeral home delivery timing and sizing options are covered next.
What's Included in This Flower Arrangement: White chrysanthemums outline the heart shape, with red roses and Stargazer lilies cascading down one side and a red satin ribbon at the base. It arrives fully built on its own stand.
Color Story in These Sympathy Flowers: White carries most of the shape, with red from the roses and ribbon, and soft pink from the edges of the Stargazer petals. The balance can shift slightly from one order to the next since these are fresh, hand-cut flowers.
Sizing: This tribute comes in Small, Medium, or Large. Each size keeps the same shape and flower mix, just scaled up or down to fit the funeral service.
When Families Choose This Tribute to Send Sympathy Flowers: This design is often chosen to honor a spouse or a parent specifically, rather than as a general sympathy gift. It also works for a memorial held at a home or office. Some families order two, one from immediate family and a smaller version from extended relatives, so both can support the same person without duplicating the exact design.
If a Bloom Isn't Available: Bloom availability shifts with the season; our florists bring in a comparable stem in that case so the shape and color balance stay true to what's shown.
Before the Funeral Service: The wire-foam frame holds its own water, so little daily care is needed. Keep it out of direct sun and heat and the colors will hold through the day.
Remembrance Gifts: Getting It to the Funeral Home: This piece is timed to arrive at the funeral home around the service; share that timing when you order. If the location changes afterward, call our shop and we'll do what we can to redirect delivery.
Many families do choose it that way, since the open heart and cascading detail feel more personal than a standard sympathy arrangement. That said, it works for any close relationship where words alone can't quite capture the feelings involved.
Yes, add a short note at checkout and our designers will include a card with the delivery. We can help with wording if you're having trouble finding the right words to express your condolences.
Red is a common choice for expressing deep love rather than general sympathy, which is part of why this design is often chosen for a spouse or parent specifically.
