Bereavement Gifts

At Give Plants we understand how difficult it is to comfort grieving friend or family members. A living plant, flowering tree, or indoor plants can be a thoughtful way to show sympathy and offer lasting support during a difficult time.  

Our unique and meaningful plant gifts can offer comfort and make a thoughtful alternative to funeral flowers. From aromatic Jasmine climbing shrubs that will smell amazing for years to come, a distinctive Lime tree that will grow to give delicious fruit, or a peace lily in a pretty white pot, our sympathy gift range is both unique, special and a lasting tribute to a life well lived.

Simply select your living gift and we will carefully box it with your personalised message of support and courier it anywhere in New Zealand within a few days. We guarantee your gift will arrive healthy and last so much longer than funeral flowers which may only last a few days.

When should we send a sympathy or bereavement gift?

We started Give Plants because a family friend passed away and what we have learnt over the years with gifting plants is it is often better to have the plant arrive after the funeral. This allows the family to have something to plant after the funeral. It provides a quiet focal point after the service and something they can do together, supporting each other.   

What is the best indoor plant to send?

The go to sympathy gift plant is the Peace Lily with its white flowers has a deep symbolic meaning around sympathy, hope and renewal. We love them because they look great and extremely easy care.

What is the best sympathy or bereavement gift for someone with a larger garden?

There are several plants like the Magnolia Port Wine, which grows into a small tree providing a floral tribute in the years to come. Or as an alternative even a citrus tree like a lemon that can be used to raise a glass to remember the person in years to come.
