What Are Funeral Flowers?
Funeral flowers are floral arrangements specifically designed and chosen to be displayed at funerals or memorial services to honor and pay tribute to the deceased. These flowers serve as a visual expression of sympathy, condolences, and respect for the departed, as well as comfort and support for grieving loved ones.
Common types of funeral flowers include:
- Wreaths: Circular arrangements symbolizing eternity and continuity of life. They are often placed on display stands or draped over caskets.
- Sprays: Large, formal arrangements designed to lay on top of the casket. They can be single-ended (designed to be placed against the casket) or double-ended (designed to be viewed from both sides).
- Casket Sprays: Specifically designed to cover the length of the casket, these arrangements are typically placed on top of the casket.
- Bouquets: Compact, handheld arrangements that can be placed next to or on top of the casket, or presented to family members.
- Crosses: Floral arrangements shaped like crosses, symbolizing faith and spirituality. They can be displayed on easels or laid on the casket.
- Heart-Shaped Arrangements: Symbolizing love and affection, these arrangements are often chosen by close family members or partners.
- Standing Tributes: Tall, vertical arrangements displayed on stands or pedestals, often placed near the entrance or around the perimeter of the service area.
- Plants: Living plants or potted arrangements symbolizing growth, life, and everlasting memory. They can be taken home by the family after the service.
- Baskets: Arrangements placed in baskets, which can include a variety of flowers and greenery. They are typically sent to the funeral home or the family’s residence as a gesture of sympathy.
