Red and white blooms fill this sympathy flower arrangement, built into a standing basket with enough presence to stand beside a casket or at the front of a chapel.
The deeper red gives this basket more warmth than an all-white piece, a fit for a service honoring someone remembered for passion or strong love, whether that's a spouse, a parent, or a close friend. Losing a loved one like that is its own difficult time, and red says something warmer than the right words often can.
Our designers have hand-built tributes in red and white since 1903, choosing full, fresh stems the morning each basket is built. Whenever a service is close, we get flowers moving as soon as possible rather than waiting on a full order confirmation. Tell us the service time and we'll plan delivery to most areas nationwide, with our network covering services further away.
Love can help keep us going after a difficult loss. Sometimes this emotion is best expressed through a beautiful floral statement. Crafted by our expert florists, this traditional standing basket arrangement is filled with an array of red and white blooms, offering heartfelt condolences when words alone aren’t enough.
Some families want more warmth than pink gives but still want white in the mix. This basket answers that directly, a deeper red instead of a softer shade, built for a tribute with a little more weight to it. Requests for this one keep coming from families who want a bolder color without losing the white entirely.
What's included in this red and white tribute, from sizing to timing, one of the warmer sympathy arrangements families ask for by color.
What Fills This Red and White Basket: Red and white blooms fill a standing basket built full on every side, arranged by hand so it holds its shape through a long service or wake. Greenery threads through the red and white blooms, giving the whole basket a fuller, more finished shape. This flower arrangement holds its structure well from delivery through the end of a long service.
Red and White Colors for a Formal Funeral Service: Red brings warmth and depth against the white, a bolder choice than our all-white or pastel baskets for a family that wants more presence.
Sizes & Presentation: Choose Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large, each keeping the same red and white balance, fuller at each size up. Every size stands upright on its own base rather than lying flat the way our standing sprays do.
Occasions for This Tribute: This basket suits a funeral or memorial service for a spouse, a parent, or anyone remembered for warmth and love, though any family can choose it. Red suits a service honoring someone remembered as bold or full of life just as much as one honoring deep love. Some choose this rather than casket sprays when they want the tribute to come home with them afterward.
Why We Send Sympathy Flowers Ahead of Schedule: Order by 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays and same-day delivery reaches most areas nationwide. Share the service time and location, and we'll route farther deliveries through our network. Cutting it close on timing is the one risk we try hardest to avoid when we send sympathy flowers for a service.
Not in this balance. The white keeps it grounded, and red is a common, accepted choice for sympathy tributes, not just celebrations. A sympathy card still adds a personal note that flowers alone can't carry.
Yes, plenty of families keep it at home for a day or two beforehand. Fresh water and a cool spot will keep it ready.
