In many cultures, flowers are a central element of funerals and memorial services. A bouquet of funeral flowers or flower stands have traditionally been given to mourners to express sympathy and condolences.
Buying flowers for funerals online? Here’s what you should know before selecting your flowers for a funeral.
1. Select the right mix of funeral flowers
Choose different types of flowers when creating an arrangement. Rather than having a flower arrangement consisting solely of one flower type, combine different types of flowers that symbolise love, friendship, and remembrance. For example, a bouquet may include hydrangeas, orchids, and lilies. Hydrangea represents true heartfelt emotions, orchids represent love, while lilies represent purity.
Ensure that your flowers are suitable for the type of funeral being held. It is best to ask about the family’s preference before buying your funeral flowers.
- Christian funerals: Acceptable to send flowers to express your sympathy and condolences. White lilies are the most common type of flowers to be sent to the bereaved family.
- Hindu funerals: White flowers are an appropriate token of condolence and solidarity.
- Muslim funerals: A simple flower vase with fresh flowers can be given to show sympathy. The appropriate funeral flowers include roses and green leaves.
- Taoist funerals: White or yellow flowers are given to express sentiments and support to the grieving family.
2. Choose the correct flower colours
When choosing flowers for a funeral, it is important to consider the colours that are best displayed together. Different flower colours mean different things.
For example, classic funeral flowers are often white, which express the giver’s sympathy and condolences. Meanwhile, white, pink, and lavender flowers are a beautiful combination that can showcase the celebration of the deceased’s life.
3. Ensure the funeral flowers are delivered on time
Individuals send flowers when they need to comfort a grieving friend or relative. Funeral flowers are an important part of the entire funeral process. They create a positive mood, honour the life of the deceased, and help to express the sender’s sympathy.
