Red roses, carnations, and gerbera daisies sweep across a white chrysanthemum wreath in this sympathy flower arrangement, accented with burgundy mini carnations for depth.
The white base keeps the tribute traditional while the red swag across its face adds warmth, a fit for a funeral service honoring a loved one the family remembers vividly.
Our designers hand-build this design in the shop, continuing work James Cress Florist has kept since 1903. Share the service time and location and we'll plan delivery in most areas nationwide, routing farther services through our network.
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 in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays. 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.
It sweeps across the face of the wreath, so the white chrysanthemum base still shows through the rest of these sympathy flowers.
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.
