A Beautiful Gesture
When news spread that Ozzy Osbourne’s will included a wish for his wife Sharon to receive a dozen black roses every week after his death, it struck a chord with millions. It’s a gesture that feels theatrical, romantic, and deeply personal — everything we’d expect from the Prince of Darkness himself. But beyond the gothic flourish, it speaks to something far more universal: the desire to leave behind love that continues long after we’re gone.
These flowers say something to Sharon that words never could: “I may be gone, but I’m still here with you.”
The World Loved It
What’s perhaps most telling is how the story has exploded online. An Instagram post sharing Ozzy’s gesture has gained more than 70,000 likes, and a TikTok covering the same story has seen 60,000 likes.
Here’s just a snapshot of the reactions:
“This is so sweet, even from the grave he’s still there for her.”
“That’s the type of person he was.”
“May that kind of love find me.”
“My grandfather did this for my Nan – she got flowers every week for three years. She still loves it till this day.”
“He was really such a sweet guy. We will always love you Ozzy.”
It’s clear this isn’t just a celebrity headline. It’s a story that resonates because people don’t only admire the gesture, they long for it in their own lives.
Why It Resonates So Deeply
When we think of legacies, we often think in terms of wills, inheritances, or estates. But Ozzy’s black roses show us something different. A legacy can be living. It can be emotional. It can arrive every week, or every month, with a note of love.
That’s why this story has captured so much attention. It proves that remembrance isn’t always about big monuments or financial gifts. Sometimes, it’s about the small, consistent acts that say: I am still here. I still love you.
Why Evermore Exists
For Ozzy, this kind of gesture was possible because he had the means to arrange it. But for most of us, making sure something like this happens reliably is far more difficult. And yet, the desire is all the same.
That’s exactly why Evermore was created: to make gestures like these not just a dream or a rare exception, but something anyone can choose to do.
Evermore takes the spirit of Ozzy’s black roses — the idea that love can outlive us — and makes it accessible. We believe that the ability to show your love after passing, and the ability to comfort those that you leave behind, should be available to anyone who desires it.
Whether it’s a bouquet of roses every week, a birthday gift once a year, or a small reminder on an anniversary, Evermore ensures love continues to arrive in the moments that matter most.
Because in the end, that’s what we all want: to be remembered not just for what we left behind, but for the love we gave and continue to give.
A Lasting Note of Love
Ozzy’s black roses showed the world what devotion can look like even after death. The response — from viral videos to heartfelt comments — proves how deeply people yearn for this kind of remembrance.
At Evermore, we exist to turn that desire into reality. To make sure gestures like this aren’t only for rock stars, but for anyone who wants their love to keep being felt by those closest to them — again and again, as if to say: I’m still with you.
