At some point in your life, you may have to pay tribute to someone by sending
flowers to their funeral. This is the most popular way of recognizing the death and sending sympathy to the family. During this somber event,
flowers have been known to provide a sense comfort by their beauty and color. Looking at the most popular
flowers for a
funeral may help you decide which sends the message you best wish to convey.
When someone thinks of death and funerals, the first flower that normally comes to mind are the lilies. Their whiteness and
design symbolizes peace and innocence, which indicates that the soul of the departed one has been reunited with those things. This makes them one of the most popular choices to send.
Although roses are associated with Valentine's Day, they are still a very popular choice to send to a funeral. The message of youthfulness, innocence and reverence is said in the white rose. The red rose communicates the message of love, courage and respect of the dearly departed. Pink is the one to choose if you wish to offer the sentiment of love and grace as well as gentility.
Chrysanthemums or mums as they are better known for, is a symbol of grief. Choosing this flower shows that this is a time of grief and you are offering sympathy to the loved ones left behind. An arrangement of gladioli on the other hand offers the sentiment of sincerity, moral integrity and strength of character, paying tribute to the deceased's character.
Another very popular arrangement is made with carnations. A combination of colors or an arrangement of red and white is appropriate for this occasion. Similar to roses in color, they also carry their own special sentiment. To show admiration to the one that has passed you would choose a red carnation. A symbol of remembrance comes with the pink color, while you can communicate the sentiment of innocence and peace by choosing white.
It is also appropriate to add the favorite flower of the deceased into any arrangement that you order. If there was a favorite flower or arrangement that you know they loved, this adds a special touch of sentiment to the bouquet. Even a favorite of the
family or a loved one close to the one who has passed, added to the arrangement, is suitable on these occasions.
After you have decided on what flower or
flowers you are going to send, you want to consider the arrangement they'll be presented in. A single type of flower or a mixture of several can be chosen. The
florist can arrange them in a vase or basket for you or you may want them in a spray, which is a one sided arrangement that can be set upon a stand or other surface for display. A wreath of
flowers offers the meaning of eternal life, a very popular choice for funerals.
Conveying the feelings that you have for the deceased comes through in the
flowers that you choose. Families will be comforted by whatever you send, even if they aren't the most popular
flowers for a funeral. The sentiment will show them that their loved one is missed and can add warmth to an otherwise cold day.
