Pet Loss Gifts for Grieving Pet Parents

Furry (or feathered or scaled) companions become cherished members of our families, offering unwavering and unconditional love, companionship and joy. So, the grief when they pass away can be profound and overwhelming. It’s a loss that is deeply felt, often beyond other people’s understanding.

Pet sympathy flowers are a thoughtful gift for grieving pet owners. A beautiful plant or bouquet can help express your deepest condolences and help show that you care and are there to support your loved one during this immensely challenging time. We’ve put together a list of our favorite floral arrangements to give to a person who’s lost a pet.

Teleflora's Enchanted Cottage

Purple symbolizes strength, making it a suitable color choice for a grieving pet owner who may need to be reminded that they are strong enough to overcome this hardship. This arrangement consists of crisp white roses accompanied by lavender stock and lilac-colored waxflower. The blooms are kept in a clear glass vase adorned with a beautiful purple satin ribbon.

Teleflora's Splendid Violets

These resplendent flowers have long been associated with spiritual wisdom and remembrance, dating back to the Roman Empire. Their lovely color is thought to soothe the soul, making them an apt choice for this sorrowful occasion. This plant is presented in a lilac and lavender-colored hand-painted ceramic vase that the recipient can treasure for years to come.

Always on My Mind - Long Stemmed Red Roses

Roses (red roses, in particular) symbolize love and admiration, which is just the message a bereaved loved one needs. This arrangement contains two dozen gorgeous long-stemmed blooms, with green salal and pitta negra beautifully complementing the roses’ scarlet shades. The bouquet is delivered in a classic clear glass vase.

Teleflora's Opulent Orchids

White flowers are symbolic of peace, which is why you’ll often see them displayed at funerals and wakes. These snowy phalaenopsis orchids convey a sense of calm and tranquility which can help put your mourning loved one’s mind at ease. The blooms are contained in a bamboo cube, which is fitting, given that this plant represents strength and growth.
