Sympathy Flowers

When Words Fail, Sympathy Flowers Speak

There's this moment when someone you care about loses someone they love. You want to reach out, but the right words don't exist. That's when sending sympathy flowers does what language can't.

At Thanks a Bunch, our journey since 2006 has been about helping Melbourne families navigate loss, one bouquet of sympathy flowers at a time, reaching Epping and nearby suburbs. When words can no longer carry the weight of sorrow, flowers take their place.

How to Choose Sympathy Flowers That Speak from the Heart

Not every funeral arrangement needs to be a massive production. Sometimes a simple, beautiful bouquet says more than an elaborate display ever could.

Our sympathy flower collection ranges from quiet, native-inspired pieces (Little Splendour, A Little Sympathy) to more formal funeral wreaths and casket sprays. There's the Pink & Sage vase if you want something contemporary, or the Orchid Rose Vase when you're going for lasting elegance. The White Oriental Lily & Carnation Wreath works perfectly for traditional services.

The beauty of sympathy flowers lies in what each one represents:

• Orchids stick around longer than most flowers (which matters when you're sending them to a home). They represent connection and calm.
• Lilies mean purity. Fresh starts.
• Roses depend entirely on colour—deep red for love, soft pink for grace, white for quiet affection and deepest condolences.

Same-Day Flower Delivery for Thoughtful Sympathy Flowers

We provide same-day sympathy flower delivery across Melbourne. Order before 1 PM on weekdays or 12 PM on weekends, and your sympathy flowers will be delivered that day.

Send it straight to the funeral home, or directly to family members at their house—whatever feels more supportive at the moment.

You can easily place an order for funeral flowers online—it only takes a moment. If you’d rather talk things over, we’re always here at our Epping shopfront or just a call away. Sometimes, expressing condolences feels easier when someone's walking you through your options.

If you feel unsure about when you should send condolence flowers, any time a person moves through mourning offers an appropriate moment. There's no rulebook. Send them for the funeral service itself, or days later, when everyone else has moved on but the family's still processing everything.

And yes, you can absolutely add a personal message with your order. Most people do. Even a few words—"thinking of you during this difficult time"—means something when someone's surrounded by flowers but feeling completely alone.
