A funeral is always a sad and difficult event. No one looks forward to attending a funeral, especially if the person who just passed away is close to their heart.
No matter how depressing the situation is, it is important that you remain thankful that the deceased person and his or her family have touched your life. Thus, it is important that we show our grief and compassion to the bereaved family. The best way to show sympathy and gratitude is through specially-arranged flowers.
Flowers have a way of expressing deep emotions that words cannot convey. Flowers send a message of heartfelt condolences and prayers for the bereaved and at the same time, flowers help console and ease the pain brought about by death.
Most flower shops offer flower arrangements for funerals. Funeral flower designs and arrangements can convey different feelings and emotions. Even the colors of the flowers can impart deep emotions.
Lilies and irises are usually used as funeral flowers. The large blooms of these flowers signify life and resurrection. Usually, yellow lilies or irises are paired with the white ones. These sympathy flowers are perfect as an alter or casket display. Red and white roses are also used to show honor and respect.
White chrysanthemums, carnations, lavender asters and larkspur are perfect to express afterthoughts, hope, and compassion. These flowers can also stand for the heartwarming memories of the deceased. Daisies and spathiphyllum that show support are often displayed on top of the casket. On the other hand, a white gladiolus combined with lavenders symbolize peace and serenity.
You can send flowers during the start of the funeral wake or several days after the funeral to show your concern for the bereaved family. Regardless of when you will send the flowers or the arrangements, adding a note of compassion during such sad times will surely be appreciated.
