Sympathy Baskets are a beautiful addition to the other flowers at the service and are typically placed on stands near the front of the room or on tables throughout the chapel or visitation area. These expressions of love and condolence can either accompany the casket or urn to its final resting place, or be taken to a church or other place of worship in honor of the deceased. Sympathy baskets have a larger water reservoir which helps the flowers to last longer for extended visitations.
