What our customers say

Sending a sympathy gift instead of cut flowers

When someone is grieving, a simple gesture can be enough. A plant offers a living reminder of your support, but it is best chosen for someone who would welcome caring for it. If another responsibility would feel difficult right now, a note or practical help may be more suitable.

Choose for their home and comfort. An easy-care Snake Plant or ZZ Plant can suit someone who prefers a simpler routine. A Peace Lily is a traditional sympathy choice, but it is not pet-safe. Check the product guidance and consider a pet-friendly option for a home with animals.

A short, sincere message matters more than finding perfect words. Send to the recipient's home when appropriate, confirm the delivery address, and consider whether someone will be there to receive the gift. A living plant can mark remembrance without asking the recipient to feel a particular way.

If you are looking for a sympathy gift instead of flowers, choose for the person receiving it. A small, manageable plant and a sincere note can be more fitting than a gift that needs unfamiliar care. For a remembrance anniversary or the loss of a pet, explore the more focused gift collections below.

Make it personal

Add your own gift message and send directly to their door. Nursery-pot gifts include the nursery pot; decorative pots are optional upgrades.

Choose their gift

Your gifting questions, answered

Are plants an appropriate sympathy gift?

They can be, when the recipient would appreciate a living plant and has a suitable place for it. Consider their preferences and capacity for care. A simple note, meal, or offer of practical support may be more welcome in some circumstances.

What should I write in a sympathy gift note?

Acknowledge the loss without trying to fix it. For example: 'Thinking of you and remembering [name] with love. I'm here for you.' Avoid promises about how or when they should feel better.

Which sympathy plants are suitable for homes with pets?

Check our pet-friendly collection and the individual product's pet-safety information. Peace Lilies, Snake Plants, and ZZ Plants are not pet-safe. Keep all plants away from chewing pets, even varieties described as pet-friendly.
