Types And Meanings Of Flowers For Funeral Etiquette

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.

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.

The Gladioli has a tall 4 foot stem with multiple blooms. This specie is usually arranged as fan sprays in memorial services. They look elegant and are classic blossoms that honor the dead. This specie symbolizes sincerity, strength, and integrity. You can get them in green, orange, peach, yellow, red, pink, white, and purple.

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.

If you are attending a long interment, it might be best to bring Carnations which last very long. It smells good and also signifies sympathy. Red variations are symbolic of admiration. Pink petals denote remembrance and the white blooms represent deep love and innocence.

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.
