Choosing Funeral Flowers - Different Flowers and Their Meanings


Flowers are a key element of funerals and memorials. They help to remind us of beauty and life on a day when we are surrounded by the sadness of death and overwhelming grief.

Funeral flowers can come in the form of wreaths, bouquets, garlands and other floral tributes. They can be personalized with messages or with the name of the remembered person. Flowers can be a beautiful distraction form the pain of the day or a comforting sign to mourners.
