Funeral and Sympathy Flowers in Nairobi

Sympathy flowers, delivered with care

When someone loses a loved one, flowers say what words often cannot. A wreath at the service, a tribute beside the casket or a simple bouquet at the family home shows that you are thinking of them. Since 2008, Nectar Flower Shop Nairobi has made funeral and sympathy flowers for families, friends, churches and companies across Nairobi, and we understand how much the timing and the details matter.

Tell us the name of the deceased, the venue and the time of the service, and we will make sure your tribute arrives before it begins. We confirm every detail with you and keep you updated until delivery.

Types of funeral and sympathy flowers

• Wreaths: round tributes symbolising eternal life, the most common choice for funerals in Kenya.
• Standing tributes and sprays: larger arrangements on a stand, placed near the casket or at the front of the church.
• Casket sprays: usually ordered by the immediate family to rest on the casket.
• Cushion and heart tributes: personal shapes for a parent, spouse or child.
• Sympathy bouquets: softer arrangements delivered to the family home in the days after a loss.
• Sympathy baskets and hampers: flowers with fruit or food for a family receiving many visitors. See gift hampers.

Flowers and colours for funerals

White is the colour of peace and remembrance, which is why white lilies, white roses and white chrysanthemums appear in most funeral flowers. Cream, soft green and pale pink add warmth. Some families prefer the loved one’s favourite colour, or bright flowers to celebrate a full life. If the family has a colour theme for the service, we will match it.

Getting the timing right

Funeral services in Nairobi often happen within days of a loss, and tributes need to arrive before the service starts. When you order, share:

1. The full name of the deceased, as it appears on the programme.
2. The venue: church, funeral home, family home or graveside, with a landmark.
3. The date and start time of the service.
4. A family contact who can receive the flowers.
5. Your card message and the name the tribute is from.

For sympathy bouquets to a home in Nairobi, same-day delivery is available. Call or WhatsApp us on 0724 906221 for details. For services in towns around Nairobi, we offer next-day delivery when you order by 12:00 noon.

What to write on a sympathy card

Short and sincere is best. A few examples:

• “With deepest sympathy. You are in our thoughts and prayers.”
• “Forever in our hearts. Rest in peace.”
• “With love and fond memories of a wonderful life.”
• “From your colleagues at [company], with heartfelt condolences.”

Sympathy flowers from companies and groups

Workplaces, chamas, churches and alumni groups often send a joint tribute. A standing tribute or large wreath with a card naming the group is the usual choice. We can invoice or share payment details for group contributions. See corporate flowers for regular business orders.

Sending sympathy from abroad

When you cannot travel home for a funeral, sending flowers lets the family know you are with them. Order online, pay by card, and message us on WhatsApp so we can plan the timing around the service. See sending flowers to Kenya from abroad.

Supporting the family after the service

Grief does not end with the funeral. In the weeks that follow, when visitors become fewer, a sympathy bouquet or a small hamper delivered to the family home is a gentle reminder that they are not forgotten. Many customers also send flowers on the first anniversary of a loss, or for a memorial service. A soft bouquet in white and green is a thoughtful choice for these moments.
