Kinds And Meanings Of Flowers For A Funeral Service

If you are picking some blossoms for a memorial service, consider the different choices and what they signify. There are several alternatives for flowers for funeral services. Each one has a symbolic meaning that means something special to those left behind. Choose an appropriate kind to give to the grieving family.

The Lily is one of the most common species associated with memorial services. The white blooms symbolize innocence that has been brought back to the soul of the deceased. They also stand for purity, dignity and majesty. In particular, white stargazer lilies signify sympathy towards the grieving family. Send a basket of white lilies.

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.

The Chrysanthemum is often used in France, Spain, Poland, Italy, Hungary, and Croatia as offerings during memorial services. The blossoms specifically denote death. The white species, which signify grief, are used at interments in Japan or China. This blossom is not commonly used in the US except in New Orleans.

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.
