Plenty of families like white but want it a little warmer. This basket came from that request, pink worked in rather than left out, so the piece feels soft without reading plain. It's become one of our most requested arrangements, particularly for services honoring a mother or grandmother.

A rundown of this pink and white tribute, from stems to sizing, part of a full range of sympathy arrangements built in softer tones.

The Pink and White Blooms in This Basket: Roses, lilies, chrysanthemums, and carnations fill a standing basket in pink and white, built full on every side for a service where it's on display. Soft greens fill in around the pink and white blooms, rounding out the shape without adding more color. This flower arrangement keeps its shape well, even after a few days on display.

How This Pink and White Palette Suits a Funeral Service: Pink softens the white in this basket without losing the sense of calm most families want, a middle ground between a stark white piece and something bolder.

Sizes & Presentation: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large all keep this same pink and white mix, with more stems at each size up. Medium is our most requested size for this one, though Extra Large suits a larger service well. Like our other standing baskets, it's built round and full rather than flat like our standing sprays.

Occasions for This Tribute: This basket suits a funeral or memorial service, especially one honoring someone the family remembers as gentle or soft-spoken, though there's no wrong reason to choose it. Casket sprays typically stay with the casket itself, while this basket can travel home with the family whenever they're ready.

Why We Send Sympathy Flowers with Time to Spare: Getting this basket there in time is easiest when you order by 2 PM Monday to Friday or 12:45 PM Saturday in the recipient's time zone, which covers same-day delivery in most areas nationwide. Share the service time and we'll plan around it, routing farther deliveries through our network. We always try to send sympathy flowers well before the family needs them in place.

• Lilies open gradually over the days after delivery, so keep the basket out of direct heat to help the whole mix last through a longer wake or service.
• Carnations tend to outlast the roses and lilies in this mix, so expect those to need the most attention if the service runs long.

• If a specific pink bloom runs short, our designers substitute a stem of equal or greater value and keep the pink-and-white balance the same.

Is pink and white considered less formal than an all-white basket, and is a sympathy card still appropriate with it?

No, it's just as appropriate for a formal service. Pink simply softens the look without changing the tone. Handwriting a short note yourself, even just a line or two, rounds out the gesture nicely.

Can you make the pink lighter or deeper if I have a preference?

We can lean lighter or deeper depending on what's in season and in stock that day. Let us know your preference when you order. Either shade holds its color for the better part of a week with basic care.
