Tips to Selecting Funeral Flowers
by Lawrence White
Choosing the variety of flowers and the colours to send to someone can purely be those which you like yourself. However, you do need to be at little careful as some flowers and colours are more suitable on particular occasions, and there are those which may offend.
For example, it is inappropriate to send red flowers to the loved ones who follow Buddhism, white flowers are far more appropriate. As such white lilies, roses and carnations in a mixed floral arrangement will be acceptable flowers to send the family.
Other religions such as Judaism, Hinduism or those that follow Islam typically only accept flowers, if any at all, from immediate family. However, baskets of fruit are often welcomed and shared by the mourners. Many florists offer to make-up beautiful fruit baskets and have them delivered to the principal mourner or immediate family in the same way as floral tributes.
In Christian cremation or burial, flowers are used as a mark of respect to the deceased and to show family that they are being thought of during their time of sorrow. Most varieties of flowers are acceptable in Christian burials, with cream coloured Arum Lilies be most associated with death by many Christians.
It is also common place for specific floral arrangements which spell out the deceased person's name or portrays their past hobby or interest, and skilled florists will be able to make an arrangement in any form you wish. This type of floral display and tribute is typically given by the closest and most immediate family members.
Likewise, the floral tribute which is placed on top of the coffin is always chosen by the deceased's immediate family, their spouse or children. Again, there are various styles and designs of floral arrangements which are most suitable to be placed on top of the coffin, this may be a single long stemmed rose or a more elaborate arrangement made from the deceased's favourite flowers and colours. It is even possible to send silk flowers rather than real ones and these types of floral arrangements are accepted by the majority of people who have their loved one buried as a long-term floral tribute at the grave-side.
You should also remember that many families and religions view death as a celebration of a person's life and therefore, although the occasion is sad, and abundance of beautiful floral tributes can help ease the pain of those in mourning, showing the family that their loved one was highly respected and thought of during their life.
