In Penang, funeral flowers are usually ordered as wreaths or standing sprays through a local florist. On GiftHub that florist is Bamboo Green Florist via condolence flowers Penang (113 designs). Confirm the wake address and postcode at checkout for the final MYR delivery fee. There is no free delivery.
What should you find out before you order?
Three things: where the flowers are going, when the family is there, and whose name goes on the card. Ten minutes with a relative or colleague who knows the family usually settles all three. This is practical florist detail, not a faith rule.
Which venue and hall?
Funeral parlours and memorial halls in Penang often host more than one family at a time. A wreath addressed only to "the parlour on Jalan such-and-such" can end up outside the wrong room. Ask for the venue name, the hall or room number, and the full name of the person who has passed away. Put all three in the delivery notes, plus a phone number for the family or venue if you have one.
Which dates?
The family receives guests over a set number of days. Flowers should arrive while they are still there. Ask which days those are before you pick a design, because the design decides how much notice the florist needs. For timing detail, see How soon should I send condolence flowers?.
Who is the card from?
Decide before checkout. It can be your full name, a couple's names, your company's name, or a group line such as "From your friends at the Rotary Club". The family reads these cards when they write thank-yous, so a clear name matters more than clever wording.
Wreath, flower stand, or casket spray?
Match the format to how the family wants the tribute to appear at the venue.
| Format | Typical use | Where to shop on GiftHub |
|---|---|---|
| Condolence wreath | Most wakes and halls | Filter wreaths on condolence flowers Penang |
| Flower stand | Tall tribute at the venue | Stand-titled products on the same Penang hub (Bamboo). Examples include Gracious Stand and Gentile Condolence Flower Stand. |
| Casket spray | Immediate family. Ask first. | Casket-spray SKUs on the Penang hub if listed |
Penang funeral stands are Bamboo Green Florist products inside the Penang condolence collection. The separate /collections/flower-stands hub is Busy Bee Ipoh only. Do not use it as a Penang funeral stand path.
Traditions vary across Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, and Hindu families in Penang. GiftHub does not prescribe colours or style for any faith. If you are unsure, ask a relative or the parlour before you order.

How much notice do the listings ask for?
Most ask for one day. Of the 113 designs on the 23 Oct snapshot, 103 were listed as "order one day ahead" and 10 could go out the same day when the product page still offered that date.
| Lead time on the listing | Designs (23 Oct 2026) |
|---|---|
| Same day (order by 3 PM, Mon–Sat, Sunday subject to availability) | 10 |
| Order one day ahead | 103 |
Source: GiftHub listings (lead-time tags), 23 Oct 2026. Cut-off is an order deadline, not an arrival clock. Recheck tags on apply day.
If the service is tomorrow, you have plenty of choice. If it is today, options shrink, and the 3 PM Penang cut-off applies on tagged same-day designs only.
A few listings carry older same-day wording in the description. For Aman Condolence Flowers, Soothing Sentiments Condolence Wreath, and Armani Condolence Flowers, please order at least a day ahead unless the product page still shows a same-day date.
The product page is the final word. It shows the earliest date that design can reach your postcode.

How do you choose a design?
Start with budget and the notice you can give, then choose by colour and size.
White and pale designs
White and soft tones are what most people send, and there is a good range under RM300. The Cornwall Condolence Wreath (RM238) is a compact wreath, and the Farewell Condolence Wreath (RM250) sits just above it. For something a little fuller, the Eternal Light Condolence Wreath is RM300.
Coloured designs
Some families welcome colour; some do not. If you are unsure, ask. The Surreal Blue Condolence Wreath (RM500) and the Whyte Williams Condolence Wreath (also RM500) sit at the middle price. Traditions vary by faith and family; check with a relative.
Sending as a company or group
When a whole office or association is sending, people usually pool money for one larger piece. Look in the RM500–RM999 and RM1,000-and-up bands. For a tall venue tribute, choose a stand-titled product on the Penang hub, such as the Gentile Condolence Flower Stand (RM600). Write the organisation's name on the card exactly as the family would know it.
What can you write on the card?
Keep each line short. These work for most families:
- With deepest sympathy to you and your family.
- May these flowers honour a life well lived.
- Thinking of you at this difficult time.
- With heartfelt condolences from our family.
- Gone from sight, never from our hearts.
- Sharing in your sorrow and sending love.
- May peace find you in the days ahead.
- In loving memory. You are in our thoughts.
- With respect and sympathy.
- Holding you close in our hearts.
- Takziah. We are here for you.
- For a longer bilingual set, see condolence card messages.
Add your full name or your company's name underneath. Skip humour and long anecdotes. For faith-specific wording you are unsure of, ask the family before you order.
Sending to Ipoh instead of Penang?
Penang funerals use condolence flowers Penang (Bamboo Green Florist).
Ipoh or Perak funerals use the national condolence flowers hub when you need Busy Bee Ipoh stock (50 products on the 25 Oct snapshot). That hub is Ipoh/Perak only. It is not the Penang default.
Flower stands for Penang wakes stay on the Penang condolence collection. Do not send Penang funeral shoppers to /collections/flower-stands.
For everyday Ipoh flower delivery outside funerals, see the flower delivery Ipoh guide.
Is there a checklist I can print?
Tick these six before you place the order:
- ☐ Venue name
- ☐ Hall number
- ☐ Deceased's name
- ☐ Date wanted
- ☐ Card wording
- ☐ Budget
Download the checklist as an image to keep on your phone.

FAQs
What is the proper flower etiquette for sympathy?
Choose a simple arrangement and write a short card. Address it to the parlour or hall where the family is receiving guests, and sign with your full name so they can thank you later. Traditions vary by faith and family, so if colours or style worry you, check with a relative first.
What flowers are given for condolences?
Most Penang sympathy orders on GiftHub are wreaths, flower stands, casket sprays, or table arrangements by Bamboo Green Florist, usually in whites and pale shades. We do not state a rule for any religion. If you are unsure what fits, the family or the parlour staff can tell you what suits their service.
How soon should I send condolence flowers?
Order once the funeral details are known. Most Penang sympathy designs ask for a day's lead time, according to the listings, and each product page shows its earliest date before checkout. If the service is very soon, choose a design whose page still offers a date that arrives in time.
How much should you spend on sympathy flowers?
There is no set figure, so spend what feels right. Here, smaller sympathy pieces begin at RM228, most wreaths sit between RM400 and RM999, and the largest tributes, often from a company or a group of colleagues, reach RM4,800. Pooling money for one shared piece is common at work.
Where are condolence flowers delivered?
According to the Penang listings, the florist takes each piece straight to the parlour or memorial hall. Put the venue, hall number, and the deceased's name in the delivery notes. Coverage is Penang plus nearby Kedah towns and parts of north Perak. There is no Penang-style condolence florist for Kuala Lumpur on GiftHub yet.
What should I write on a condolence wreath ribbon or card?
Short and sincere works well: the deceased's name, a brief line such as "Rest in peace" or "Forever in our hearts", and who it is from. Skip humour and long anecdotes. For faith-specific wording you are unsure of, ask the family before you order. More lines sit in the card section above and on the messages post.
Can I send a flower stand for a Penang funeral?
Yes. Choose stand-titled products on the Penang condolence collection (Bamboo Green Florist). That is the Penang funeral stand path.
Is the flower-stands collection the Penang catalogue?
No. /collections/flower-stands is Busy Bee Ipoh only. Penang stands live on the Penang condolence collection.
Is delivery free?
No. Enter the venue postcode at checkout. The fee appears in final MYR.
Can I order condolence flowers for Penang from overseas?
Yes. You can pay online from abroad and enter the Penang venue as the delivery address. Check the earliest date on the product page. Dates and cut-offs run on Malaysian time. Put your name on the card so the family can see who sent it.
How do I address flowers to a funeral parlour in Penang?
Give the parlour or hall name, the hall or room number, and the full name of the person who has passed away. Several families can be at one venue on the same day, so the hall number matters. Add a phone contact for the family or the venue if you have one.
