Types And Meanings Of Flowers For Funeral Etiquette

If you are going to have to attend a memorial service, then it might be appropriate to bring flowers for funeral. You have a number of choices and different blooms to choose from. Find out what the blossoms symbolize and take a bouquet with you for the service. Offer this to the bereaved family as an offering of empathy.

A common type of blossom associated with interments is the Lily. White varieties mean that innocence has returned to the deceased person's soul after his death. The bloom is also symbolic of dignity, purity, and splendor. The white stargazer lilies denote sympathy that you feel towards the family left behind.

A Gladioli is an interesting bloom that is about long four feet tall. Each stem has multiple blossoms. This is a common flower used for fan arrangements in interments. The blossom looks elegant and classy. They are traditionally used for memorial services. They come in many shades and signify strength of character, sincerity and integrity.

Chrysanthemums are also common blooms uses for services especially in Spain, Italy, France, Poland, Croatia, and Hungary where the blossom symbolizes death. In Japan, China and Korea, the white varieties represent grief. They are not often used in memorials in the US with the exception of New Orleans because they symbolize joy in America.

Carnations are great choices for long interments since they last long. They are fragrant and are common picks to show sympathy. The colors of the blossoms also have special meanings. Red carnations represent admiration; pink blooms symbolize remembrance, and the white ones stand for innocence and a wholesome kind of love.

Roses are not only for dates and lovers; they can also be given as flowers for funeral. Pink blooms denote gracefulness and love. Red ones symbolize love, deference and valor. Yellow blossoms are usually offered by close friends of the dead and very dark red ones are usually given by a special love interest of the deceased.
