When someone close passes away, sending flowers is a sober, sincere way to be there for the family. When ordering them, though, a common question comes up: a wreath, an arrangement or a bouquet? They aren't the same, and each one suits a different context.
In this guide we explain clearly what each one is, how they differ and how to choose the most appropriate, based on closeness to the family, the formality of the occasion and your budget.

What a funeral wreath is
The funeral wreath is the most solemn, traditional tribute. Its circular shape —the circle symbolising continuity and remembrance— is set on a stand, upright beside the coffin at the funeral home or ceremony. Its size and presence make it a tribute of great formality.
It's usually chosen to show prominent respect: companies, groups of colleagues, associations or very close relatives. It's customary to add a ribbon with a farewell message. See the available funeral wreaths in different sizes and flowers.
What a funeral arrangement is
The funeral arrangement (or funeral centrepiece) is worked horizontally on a base, meant to be placed on a table, on the floor beside the coffin or on the headstone. It's more versatile and contained than the wreath: it brings beauty and quiet dignity without the wreath's imposing formality.
It suits relatives and loved ones well, and comes in a wide range of sizes and budgets. See all the funeral arrangements available.
What a condolence bouquet is
The condolence bouquet is the closest, most personal option. It's a bouquet —usually in white and green tones— meant to be given to the family, at the funeral home or at their home. It conveys affection and support in a more intimate, less formal way than a wreath or an arrangement.
It's right when the relationship is personal —friends, neighbours, loved ones— or when a discreet gesture is preferred. Choose from our funeral and condolence bouquets.
Differences between the three options
At a glance, this is how they differ:
| Funeral wreath | Funeral arrangement | Condolence bouquet | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shape | Circular, on a stand | Horizontal, on a base | Bouquet handed over |
| Where it goes | Beside the coffin or at the ceremony | Table, floor or headstone | Funeral home or the family's home |
| Formality | Very high | Medium-high | Close and personal |
| Who usually sends it | Companies, groups, close family | Relatives and loved ones | Friends, neighbours, loved ones |
| Budget | Higher | Flexible | More modest |
How to choose the right tribute
There's no single «best» option: it depends on the context. These guidelines help you decide:
- By closeness: the closer the relationship with the person or their family, the more personal the gesture can be (a bouquet or an arrangement). For group or institutional condolences, the wreath conveys formal respect.
- By the formality of the occasion: at busy ceremonies and funeral homes, wreaths and arrangements have more presence; for something handed directly to the family, the bouquet is most fitting.
- By budget: the bouquet and the arrangement allow a lot of flexibility; the wreath usually means a larger spend given its size.
- By discretion: if you prefer a sober, private gesture, a condolence bouquet sent to the home is the most intimate choice.
If in doubt, call us: we'll guide you based on the funeral home, the timing and what you wish to convey.
