Flowers or Gift Baskets for Jewish Mourning


Flowers or Gift Baskets for Sitting Shiva

Many of you are wondering how to express condolence to a Jewish friend or client and what types of sympathy gifts or items are appropriate to send.
Your first thought would be to send a floral arrangement, however, flowers are typically not a part of the Jewish mourning tradition and should not be sent when someone has passed.

Food and Condolence Baskets

During the shiva, mourners are required to abstain from participating in some of the most basic functions of everyday life, including cooking and preparing meals.
For this reason, sending a Shiva Gift Basket is a customary condolence gift. Shiva Gift Baskets contain a variety of food items that is sent to the home and are intended to provide nourishment for those in mourning throughout the weeklong duration of the Shiva. Appropriate food items found within a Shiva basket include baked goods and desserts, fruit, dried fruit & nuts, and assorted chocolates.

When to Send a Shiva Basket

Shiva begins immediately after burial, with the day of the funeral counted as the first day of a Shiva. Families are grateful to receive food and condolence items at any point during the seven-day mourning period. Shiva baskets are sent to the home where the family is sitting Shiva.

Let us help you send an authentic Kosher Shiva Basket with Free Delivery across Canada.

Sympathy and Condolences Gifts - What to Give?

Sympathy and Condolence Gifts


A co-worker or friend has just lost someone in their family.  What do you send?  Flowers? Sure that makes the logical choice.  Then YOU have a death in your family and you look around the funeral home and think, what are we going to do with ALL these dying flowers?  A couple are nice of course and you think maybe you can take some home, but you already have a bunch at home as well.

Some families ask for a donation instead of flowers and that is certainly an option. But have you considered sending a basket of comfort food instead of flowers for your condolence wishes?  

A nice basket with crackers, cheese, spreads, fruit and nuts can be shared with family and friends or opened at a later time when things calm down a bit.  Or send a breakfast tray with an assortment of jams, crackers, melba toast, cheese and fruits.  None perishable items will allow them to open when they want without any added pressure that it will spoil.

A sympathy gift basket is a welcome gesture that they will appreciate and thank you for later.
