There are many symbolic flowers that you can use to express feelings for a lost loved one or show sympathy to someone who recently lost someone.
Flowers for Sympathy
Flowers can express a multitude of emotions. They are an outward sign of love and respect for the one that you give them to. Even after they have gone from this world, you can present flowers as a sign that you miss them, and cared for them while they were around. You can also send flowers for sympathy, if you know someone who has recently lost a loved one.

Flowers are often used in funeral baskets, memorial arrangements, and casket sprays. Here are some symbolic flowers that you can use to express your feelings to a lost loved one.

-Carnation, Pink: I will never forget you
-Almond Blossom: Hope and Watchfulness
-Chrysanthemum, Red: I love you
-Zinnia: Thoughts of Absent Friends
-Daisy: Gentleness, Innocence, Loyal love

To show that you care is so important during times of loss. If you know someone who has lost someone recently, you can send him or her sympathy flowers. Here are some symbolic flowers that you can send.

Flowers can pain a beautiful picture for you that can speak 1000 words. Don't limit your choices to the flowers that I have listed here. There is no right or wrong in the flowers that you choose. Give as many or as few as you want. There are hundreds of options, and you should make the choice with much thought and care. Put your heart into it, and think it through. The flowers can mean anything you want them to mean.

Show your love, or your sympathy, with flowers. I offer my condolences and prayers to anyone who has recently lost a loved one.
