Sympathy and Funeral Flowers Guide

Choosing a Funeral Flower Basket or Wreath

Our wide selection of flower stands and wreaths are designed to suit most funerals in Hong Kong, including traditional Chinese (Taoist and Buddhist are the most common) and western, Christian (Protestant and Catholic amongst others) funerals.

While white and soft pastel colours are appropriate for most cultures and religions, some traditions and beliefs will also allow for more vibrant palettes and styles. By letting us know the specifics of the funeral (the customs or tradition, as well as your relationship with the deceased, their age and gender, and personal preferences), we can help you choose the right size, colour, and style of funeral wreath or flowers to express your condolence.

Writing a Card Message

In Hong Kong, classic Chinese condolence messages (including Buddhist and Taoist) and Christian religious messages are the most common choices to accompany a wreath, stand or basket with fresh flowers. You are welcome to choose from the variety of options we already offer, or alternatively, customise a specific verse based on your preference. Our experienced specialists can help you choose a message that is both well-mannered and appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When are more vibrant colours appropriate for a funeral?

In Hong Kong, vibrant coloured flowers and wreaths are generally seen at a funeral where the deceased is very elderly (usually above 80 years old). This is because in Chinese traditions, living to old age is generally seen as a virtue, and these funerals tend to focus less on mourning and more on celebrating the departed’s life.

Q: What are the benefits of ordering flowers and wreaths early?

Ordering ahead of time will allow you to communicate better with our florist about your specific needs and ensure that delivery can be arranged for a specific time slot. It can also make for better-looking flowers and wreaths as the flowering period of some flower types can be better planned.

Q: How should I choose between Traditional Chinese Style Flower Baskets and funeral flowers and wreaths?

In Hong Kong, regular funeral flower stands and wreaths will suit most funerary customs, from traditional Chinese to western and Christian. Traditional Chinese Style Flower Baskets are more suited for Buddhist and Taoist funerals or a more traditional funeral setting. If you are unsure which one to choose, do not hesitate to contact us for help.
