In Hong Kong, flower arrangements for funerals tend to be large, respectful displays. Wreaths, standing sprays, and condolence baskets are common. If attending a Buddhist service, flowers should be serene—white orchids or lilies. Christian funerals may include Pink Flowers or Red Flowers to reflect love and life.
Personalized arrangements, like Orchid Displays or Bonsai Combinations, bring elegance. Many Hong Kong Online Flower Shops offer pre-designed funeral sets, or you can request Customized Sympathy Bouquets.

If you’re visiting as a tourist and find yourself attending a local service, the etiquette of floral arrangements can be nuanced. Shops in Sheung Wan or Wanchai often have arrangements categorized by religion and ceremony type—making the process easier for newcomers.
Some even offer delivery straight to memorial halls or homes, and include options like Anniversary Flowers or Monthly Flower Box subscriptions as long-term memorial gestures. These offerings allow you to continue expressing sympathy even after returning home.
For a unique experience, visit local cemeteries like the Hong Kong Cemetery in Happy Valley, where you’ll see traditional wreaths standing beside Tabletop Bonsais. It’s a moving visual of East-meets-West tribute styles that tells a rich story of heritage and remembrance.
Also, during special occasions like Qingming or Chung Yeung festivals, flower stalls pop up near cemeteries to provide last-minute options for mourners. As a visitor, observing or participating in these customs with a simple bouquet can be both meaningful and respectful.
