Funeral flowers are symbols of compassion and shared mourning. Make the right choice when a loved one or colleague passes away by using these tips.
Funeral flowers and other floral arrangements are, first and foremost, a reminder of our compassion, sympathy, and love. They are also important symbols of hope and the rebirth of the soul.
Why are funeral flowers often in the shape of a circle?
Funeral flowers in the shape of a wreath are the most in demand for burials. And the reason is very simple: the circle is a reminder of the cycle of life, through which we all pass. The circle also evokes infinity and eternity.
The most eloquent flowers for funerals
The choice of flowers must reflect the life of the deceased. Consider tulips, daisies, snapdragons, or daffodils; their bright colours bring warmth and hope at the time of a burial.
As is the case with any kind of floral arrangement, the types of flowers and the colours that are chosen are significant.
The colours and scents of flowers can also be a focus for the composition of funeral flowers. It all depends on the relationship you held with the deceased and the members of his or her family.
- White roses, lilies, and orchids are also symbols of hope.
- A spray of red roses is a powerful expression of love.
- Sunflowers, carnations, and gerbera in bright, vivid colours embody warm, pleasant memories.
- Pastel colours represent tenderness, while white symbolizes purity and innocence.
Flowers to help appease the pain
When you send funeral flowers, carefully consider the image you wish to convey.
Opt for an arrangement that will bring a little comfort. Wreaths, heart-shaped or cross-shaped arrangements, and sprays of flowers all serve to express compassion and grief.
And in case you can’t be present on the day of the burial, sending flowers lets you express your sorrow and sense of loss.
