Features of flowers in funerals

As each type of flower has its own meaning, it is often associated with different events and rituals in life. Any kind of flower could be used at a funeral but there are some that are generally considered appropriate or especially popular in the flower industry. Daisies are very traditional funeral flowers, representing life and the sun. White lilies, symbolizing purity, are also used for funeral decorations. Finally, roses and carnations, symbolizing peace and beauty, are also widely used.

FUNERAL WREATHS

Wreaths are very popular for funerals. Common wreaths have a variety of different flowers (typically roses and carnations) and green leaves. The typical shape of a wreath is round, symbolizing eternal life, although some wreaths have the form of a heart or a cross. Furthermore, funeral wreaths can be used to surround a photo frame of the deceased, often in the form of a standing wreath.

CASKET FLOWERS

For casket flower decorations, we use small flowers and, dependent of your preference, small crosses, satin pillows, and satin hearts. Typically, family members place the flowers on the casket. The flower decoration may be the entire length, half the length, or a quarter length of the casket.

FLOWER BASKETS

Funeral baskets will be sent either to the funeral home or to the family members – funeral caskets can be ordered by anyone who’s in any way related to the deceased.
The baskets can include just the flowers you like the best – we suggest carnations, rosses, ferns, etc.
