Roses, daisies, carnations, and chrysanthemums come together in soft purple and white for this sympathy flower arrangement, gathered into a tall standing basket built to hold its shape through a full day of visitors.
Families choose this one when they want something a little softer than solid white, still calm, but with more depth to it. It works for a parent, a grandparent, or a longtime friend, really anyone whose loss touches more than one household. Many people send sympathy flowers like this one when a card alone doesn't feel like enough, especially during a difficult time when the right words are hard to find.
Our designers hand-build every basket the morning it's built, continuing work James Cress Florist has done since 1903. A funeral service often needs flowers as soon as possible, so give us the service time and we'll plan delivery around it, reaching most areas nationwide the same day, with our network covering services further out.
One who has touched the lives of many deserves to be honored in a uniquely touching way. Our majestic standing basket arrangement in lavender and white is an impressive tribute to their memory. Artistically designed by expert florists with an abundance of soft, lavender-hued and white blooms, it is a heartfelt expression of your deepest sympathies.
White alone can feel stark for some families, so we built this one around a gentler purple to warm it up without losing the sense of calm. Designers reach for this combination often, the softer answer for families who want flowers a little less plain than solid white.
Here's what this lavender and white tribute includes, size by size, much like our other sympathy arrangements.
The Roses and Chrysanthemums in This Basket: Roses, daisies, carnations, and chrysanthemums fill a woven standing basket on a tall frame, full on every side so it looks complete from any seat in the room. This flower arrangement is built to travel well, so it still looks full by the time it reaches the service.
Purple and White Colors: Purple and white read softer than a solid white piece without losing that sense of calm. It's a middle ground for families who want warmth in the palette but not bold color.
Sizes & Presentation: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large all keep the same purple and white mix and the same standing frame, with more blooms at each step up. Unlike our standing sprays, which lean flat against an easel, this one stands fully in the round on its own frame.
Occasions for This Tribute: This basket usually goes to a funeral home ahead of a service, though some families ask for a smaller size at the house in the days beforehand. It suits a parent, a grandparent, or any loved one whose passing draws a wide circle of mourners. Some families choose this over casket sprays because standing basket arrangements like this one can move to a home after the service, while sprays made for the casket usually stay behind.
How We Send Sympathy Flowers in Time: Order by 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays and same-day delivery reaches most areas nationwide. Tell us the funeral home name and service time so timing lines up, and we'll route farther deliveries through our network. Getting sympathy flowers there before visiting hours begin is our top priority for every order like this.
Roses and chrysanthemums both hold up well over a few extra days with fresh water, so a short delay usually isn't a problem. A handwritten sympathy card tucked into the ribbon is a nice personal touch if you'd rather not rely on the gift note alone.
Yes, plenty of families choose to send it directly to the house, either before the service or in the days after.
