About Alaric Sympathy
Alaric Sympathy is a dedicated sympathy and funeral floral studio based on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. With more than 20 years of experience, our work is rooted in thoughtful design, quiet elegance and a deep understanding of the sensitivity required when creating flowers for times of loss.
Our studio was founded on the belief that flowers can offer comfort, convey compassion and honour a life in a meaningful way. Every arrangement—whether for a funeral service, shiva, memorial, celebration of life, or a condolence visit—is designed with care, intention and respect for the moment it represents.
Our Approach
We work exclusively with premium European, local and South American blooms, chosen for their freshness, quality and natural beauty. Our designs are soft, elegant and composed with a focus on balance, colour harmony and sensitivity.
For each order, we take time to understand the story, relationship or sentiment behind the flowers. We know that no two lives are alike, and we believe that sympathy flowers should reflect that individuality.
Specialists in Sympathy & Funeral Flowers
Our team creates a full range of funeral and sympathy arrangements, including:
- Casket sprays
- Standing sprays
- Funeral wreaths, hearts and crosses
- Urn and cremation tributes
- Shiva and home condolence arrangements
- Sympathy bouquets and vase arrangements
- Peace lilies and condolence plants
- Custom tributes and personalised designs
We also understand how deeply the loss of a pet can be felt, and we are able to create gentle, considered floral tributes for pet memorials.
Trusted by Families Across New York City
We deliver funeral and sympathy flowers across Manhattan and selected parts of Brooklyn and Queens. Our team regularly works with funeral homes, chapels, synagogues, churches and crematoriums throughout New York City, and we coordinate delivery timing carefully to ensure arrangements arrive well before the service or visitation begins.
Whether you are honouring a loved one, supporting a friend or sending comfort from afar, our role is to help you express your sentiments with dignity, clarity and care.
Our Story
Alaric Sympathy is part of the Alaric Flowers family, a female-run Upper West Side floral studio known for luxury design, meticulous craftsmanship and long-standing service across New York City. While Alaric Flowers continues to create florals for weddings, events, corporate clients and weekly services, Alaric Sympathy was created as a dedicated space for families seeking compassionate, specialised guidance for sympathy and funeral flowers.
Drawing on two decades of floral experience—including work for global brands, cultural institutions and notable New York settings—we bring the same standard of artistry to every tribute we create.
A Gentle, Personal Approach
We understand that arranging sympathy flowers may be unfamiliar, overwhelming or emotionally difficult. We are here to support you with clear guidance, calm communication and thoughtful design. If you need help choosing an arrangement or knowing what is appropriate to send, our team is always available to assist.
