When someone loses a person they love, it's hard to know what to say. Flowers say it quietly. White lilies, roses and chrysanthemums are the usual choice, kept simple and calm.
For a Chinese wake, white and soft yellow are common, and bright red is best avoided because it's linked to celebration. If you're unsure of the family's customs, plain white is always appropriate.
For something more visible at the wake, choose a condolence flower stand. Please include the parlour address and the name of the deceased when you order.

Sending condolence flowers
Condolence flowers are usually white or soft-toned: lilies, chrysanthemums, roses and orchids. A flower stand is customary at funeral parlours and wakes, while a smaller bouquet or basket suits a visit to the family's home.
What to write on the ribbon or card
Keep it short and sincere, such as "With deepest sympathy" or "In loving memory", followed by your name or your company's name. Double-check the name of the deceased and the venue details before ordering.
