What flowers are appropriate for a funeral?
The type of flowers you choose will depend on who has died and your connection to them:
- Lilies are a traditional funeral flower and are always appropriate
- Roses are common flowers for funerals and come in a variety of colors for every style of funeral.
- Gladioli make wonderful standing fan sprays and are a traditional funeral flower
- Carnations are fragrant, long-lasting and perfect for a sympathy flower arrangement, especially for a mother who has passed away.
- Chrysanthemums are also sent specifically for funerals in many cultures
Sending a potted plant to a grieving person or family is a lovely gesture. Hydrangeas and orchids are ideal options. Hydrangea can be planted outside at a later time in the grieving process, while orchids make an uplifting visual statement when a family is grieving. Choosing funeral flowers with a particular meaning is a common expression of support.
