Sometimes it is extremely difficult to know exactly the right words to
say for someone grieving. Sending sympathy flowers will help say the words you
are unable to. This article looks at the different flower arrangements
available, and gives advice regarding the “appropriateness” of each
arrangement.
Funeral flowers chosen by the next of kin or close family
for the top of the casket or coffin are usually diamond shaped or flowers made
into the traditional shape of a cross. The size of the casket flowers are quite
often dependant on the size of the coffin however, the same designs are
available in varying lengths to accommodate this. Elongated sprays are
traditionally made from white lilies with lush green foliage while crosses are
normally composed from chrysanthemums or lisianthus, either on there own in the
same colour or interspersed with other seasonal flowers. Contemporary designs
using the shape of a cross using a few roses and dark green foliage may suit a
younger person’s casket.
Heart shaped, circular or square design cushions are a
popular choice of funeral flowers for close relatives to send. They comprise of
tightly packed flowers, usually chrysanthemums or roses of the same colour with
delicate edging of a complementary colour and a simple spray of coloured
flowers gently placed at an angle across one corner of the cushion. In , they are an excellent choice for
all family members or friends to send as funeral flowers. The wreaths can be
made using classic seasonal flowers packed tightly into the wreath or more
exotic and contemporary designs are becoming increasingly favoured by younger
people who are looking for something appealing and unusual. Circular willow
frames interwoven with Steel grasses and decorated with pastel tones and pale
green wispy foliage is an example of a delicate and yet stunning creation which
denotes never ending devotion.
