Grateful Tribute Wreath

A flat white wreath can feel plain for a family who wants more presence at a final farewell, so we swept red roses and carnations across the front instead of leaving it one color. It reads as fuller and more personal without losing the traditional white base, more layered than some of our simpler arrangements, something families notice even during a difficult time. Families still tell us the red sweep across the white base feels more personal than a single flat color would.

What's included in this red-and-white sympathy wreath, from stems to delivery.

The Red and White Design in This Wreath: Red roses, carnations, and gerbera daisies form a sweeping accent across a base of white chrysanthemums, with burgundy mini carnations and greenery filling in the depth. Ferns and other greens fill in behind the red sweep so the white base never disappears beneath the flowers, a layering trick we use across most of our arrangements.

Red and White Colors: White carries the wreath's base while red and burgundy sweep across its face, the kind of two-tone contrast we build into several of our sympathy arrangements.

Sizes & Presentation: Choose Small, Medium, or Large. Every size keeps the same red-and-white design, fuller as you move up, matching the scale of the flowers in our larger arrangements. Small works well for a quieter home visit, and Large is the size we recommend for a fuller chapel.

One of Our Remembrance Gifts for a Funeral Service: This wreath suits a service or a home visit, standing well near a casket or altar for a loved one the family wants to honor with more than a single color. Some families order standing sprays or casket sprays alongside it when the service is larger, extra arrangements that fill more of the room without repeating this same look. It's one of our more traditional remembrance gifts, built for a family that wants a visible tribute rather than something quiet.

How to Send Sympathy Flowers With Same-Day Delivery: Most people send sympathy flowers like this before a service rather than after, so this wreath goes out same-day to most areas nationwide when you order by 2 PM Monday to Friday or 12:45 PM Saturday in the recipient's time zone. We tuck a sympathy card in with every wreath so the family knows who it's from, and we're happy to add a short note if the right words feel hard to find just now. Share the service time and we'll plan around it, confirming details as soon as possible, or route a farther delivery through our network.

• The white chrysanthemum base holds up longer than the roses in these sympathy flowers, so expect the red accents to need attention first if the service is delayed.
• Gerbera daisies tend to droop first among these flowers, so a quick water change every couple of days helps the whole piece hold its shape longer, the same care our other arrangements need.

• If a specific rose or carnation shade isn't available, our designers substitute one of equal or greater value and keep the same red-and-white balance across the flowers you see pictured.

Is the red sweep across the front, or does it wrap the whole wreath?

It sweeps across the face of the wreath, so the white chrysanthemum base still shows through the rest of these sympathy flowers.

Can the red in these funeral flowers be swapped for a different color?

This particular design is built around the red-and-white contrast; if you'd like a different color story, our Golden Remembrance or Graceful wreaths are two more of our funeral flowers worth a look. It's one of our more detailed arrangements to build.
