How to Choose the Right Condolence Flowers for
Funerals?

• Funerals are a delicate time for the family of
  the departed and thus, choosing the appropriate
  flowers for such an occasion is a task that
  should be treated with much thought, respect and
  sensitivity. Here are several things you should
  keep in mind when picking out condolence flowers
  for the mourning

Choosing the Right Flower Arrangement

• Typically, a casket spray or a wreath comes from
  members of the immediate family. For those not
  related to the family, standing sprays, hanging
  baskets and bouquets in vases are best, plus they
  are easily transportable for taking home.

Choosing Flowers Based on Gender

• People often choose certain flowers depending on
  the gender of the recently passed individual. For
  example, a woman's condolence flowers might be a
  mix of pastels and soft colours, while a man's
  flower display has darker colours. This does not
  always have to be the case and it really depends
  on the personality of the individual and their
  family's choice.

Choosing Flowers Based on Their Meaning

• Lilies are a popular funeral flower, specifically
  the white stargazer lily. This type of lily
  generally symbolises sympathy when displayed in
  white. In general, all types of lilies represent
  innocence and purity, a beautiful message to the
  family of the deceased.

Choosing Flowers Based on Their Meaning

• Roses are a popular and extremely recognisable
  flower. It has often been said that different
  coloured roses represent different meanings for
  example, a red rose is often noted as a romantic
  flower to give to your significant other. White
  roses are a great symbol of youthfulness and
  humility.

Choosing Flowers Based on Their Meaning

• Carnations are another great flower choice for
  funerals. These sweet-smelling blooms represent
  pure love and remembrance, which is the perfect
  message to send to the family of the dearly
  departed. Not only is their message sweet, but
  they are very hardy flowers and they will last
  long after the funeral service is over.

Choosing Condolence Flowers for Children

• Lighthearted and simple flowers such as daisies
  are a beautiful choice for a child's funeral.
  Sometimes florists can make funeral wreaths in
  the shapes of children's toys or animals.
  Splashes of white and pink roses are also a nice
  addition to a child's casket. White lilies and
  chrysanthemums are also a safe bet.
