The decorative garden stones are a lasting reminder of the support they were given in their time of need. And inspirational sayings on the stone can stir up positive memories with their loved one who is no longer with us. Contact Kremp Florist to learn more about their garden stones and how to schedule a delivery of a gift to your recipient’s home. The knowledgeable staff can make sending a sympathy gift easy and efficient, whether your loved one lives local to you or across the country.
Sympathy Garden Stones and Crosses
These ornamental garden stones come in round, square, cross-shaped, and natural shapes. They are tan, stone colored, or dark gray with accents of white, brown, and other earthy colors. Some feature hints of red, light yellow, or light blue. Each stone is inscribed with a positive saying, and the fonts vary from bold to a hand-written look. All stones have texture to their surface, so they may practically be used to walk upon in the garden without the risk of becoming slippery. Although, you may be hesitant to trod on these beautifully crafted keepsakes.
In addition to the phrases written on the stones, they are decorated with images and flourishes. Some depict trees, angels, butterflies, crosses, birds, angel wings, and flowers. Others have cutouts of hearts, watering cans, houses, suns, trees, and stars, to further enhace the different textures of the stones. Those who follow the Christian religion may appreciate the stones featuring crosses and angels, while avid gardeners may prefer those with natural images. These garden accents range from approximately 9” – 12” in height and width, approximately the size of a floor tile. Their medium size makes them good for incorporating them with traditional garden path stones. Or, collect several of the decorative variety to display clustered together near the focal points in your garden.
Expressing Sympathy with Garden Stepping Stones
Garden stones and crosses can be a touching way to express sympathy, especially if the recipient or the deceased loved to spend time outdoors or in their yard. Garden stones can perfectly accent an area in your garden that has particularly beautiful plants. The recipient could even put the stone near a plant or flower that was the deceased’s favorite. As the seasons change, the keepsake may become covered by leaves or snow and reemerge as spring thaws the ground. This reminds us of the cycle of life and the hope of better things to come.
Among the inspirational sayings found on the stones are those for the passing of a mother, father, and even pets. Owners love their pets as part of the family, so their passing can be particularly difficult. Owners should be allowed time to grieve, since pets do not get the funeral services that we afford other loved ones. Consider sending a stepping-stone with paw prints to a friend who has lost a beloved companion. It is likely that the pet spent a lot of time outdoors, so the stone could be placed in the part of the yard or garden where the pet loved to lay down and spend lazy afternoons. Whenever they see the stone, they will remember their cherished animal friend.
Although some people may not have much or any outdoor space, they still might enjoy this stone gift. Apartment dwellers, for example, might lack the yard to place their stone among the flowers, but the stones can actually be hung on walls on displayed on a shelf inside, too. They work particularly well with a rustic, natural decorating scheme where the textural stone will blend with other design elements.
In this case you could also consider sending a fresh flower arrangement in addition to the sympathy garden stone. That way, you are bringing the nature inside for your loved one, so they can enjoy the outdoors as the deceased did, even if they cannot physically spend time there. An earthy flower arrangement with foliage, branches, colorful blooms, and wildflowers will draw up images of an English garden. The fresh scents of the flowers and the natural hues will bring some cheer to the mourning recipient.
Comfort a friend, loved one, relative, or colleague with a long-lasting gift that will continue to inspire. Kremp Florist’s decorative crosses and inspirational garden stones are a great option for those who are grieving or for anyone who needs a little bit of hope in their lives. Express your sympathies or send your inspirational wishes today!
Though we have a large line of funeral flowers and arrangements, sometimes a grieving loved one needs longer-lasting consolation. It’s then that you can order sympathy gifts besides flowers to create a heart-warming atmosphere months and years after the loved one has passed. We have decorative standing crosses, wall crosses, and stepping stones that are great for home décor. Crosses are great for grieving Christians, reminding them of eternal life and happiness. Our inspirational stones often feature comforting phrases and quotes. As your gift recipient grieves, they can view the quote in their own home and continue to be inspired. These gifts can be used as stepping stones in the garden or be hung on a wall inside the home.
There are many stages of grieving, and the period can often last between six months and a year. During that duration, your friend or relative will need help, strength, and support to get through this difficult time. Our inspirational stones and crosses can continue to be viewed during that time, creating long-lasting comfort. Even if you heard about the death too late, you can still continue to comfort with the occasional bouquet of flowers or a cross. Home décor like our stepping stones and crosses can be bought after the fact, during the time of grieving, to let them know that you’re still there and that it’s going to be OK.
