Purple Sympathy Flowers

Purple funeral flowers offer a dignified alternative to all white. Four designs pair lavender or soft purple with white, and a Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid completes the set, each prepared by hand by a local florist near the recipient.

Purple is often linked with respect and admiration. Below, see where each piece fits and what to put in the card message.

Purple sympathy flower questions

What does purple mean at a funeral?

Purple is often linked with dignity, respect and admiration, and lavender with grace and calm. It also has a long history in mourning: in Victorian half-mourning, the later, lighter stage of grief, many people wore lavender and mauve. Today purple sympathy flowers feel thoughtful without feeling somber.

Are purple flowers okay to send to a funeral?

Yes. Purple and lavender funeral flowers are a respected choice for any service, and pairing them with white keeps the tribute traditional. They work especially well when purple was the person's favorite color. For more shades, browse our purple and lavender flowers.

What should the card message say?

Keep it short and sign your full name so the family knows who sent it. You might write "Remembering Grace with love and respect, the Ortiz family" or "Holding you close in this hard time, Dana." Enter the message at checkout and it will come on a card with the arrangement.
