Types And Meanings Of Flowers For Funeral Arrangements And What They Represent

If someone close to you has died, you might want to bring flowers for funeral. There are several kinds of blooms that you can offer at the memorial service. It is important to know which species are considered acceptable in this type of situation. Pick blossoms that are appropriate and symbolic for the occasion.

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 just for lovers, they are also flowers for funeral services. Red blooms denote love, respect and courage while yellow variations are given by friends of the person who died. Pink shows grace and love. Deep crimson symbolize grief and sadness. At interments, a single rose is often given by a special person.
