Whether you are attending the funeral of a loved one, a close friend or a business associate, there is no more appropriate display of sympathy or empathy than a floral arrangement. Flowers are a way to show you care, no matter what the relationship or the circumstance of passing.

Funeral flowers are acceptable gifts of condolence even if a traditional service is not held for the deceased. If a funeral home is employed, the arrangement should be sent there, in time for display during visitation, if possible. In the event the funeral is missed or no services are performed, flowers may be forwarded to a private home in mourning.

Ceremonial locations are also good for placement of flowers. Caskets, cremation urns, cemetery memorials or objects near where services are performed are all appropriate locations for floral remembrances. Many types of flowers are used at these locations, including:

• Wreaths
• Single floral stems
• Garlands
• Loose flower petals or greenery
• Large or Small Arrangements
• Live Plants

Sending flowers is a gesture that shows those who have lost a loved one that we care. Making a personal statement is an important aspect of choosing funeral flowers, because we want the bereaved to recognize our unified grief and appreciate the thought that the floral gift is meant to convey.

A very personal remembrance can be customized by incorporating things that were important to the deceased into the arrangement. An example of this would be miniature gardening implements for someone who loved to garden or fishing tackle for an avid fisherman. Most types of flowers are appropriate for funerals. Those that were particularly beloved by the deceased are always desirable.
