Different Varieties Of Flowers For Funeral Etiquette And What They Represent

If you are going to have to attend a memorial service, then it might be appropriate to bring flowers for funeral. You have a number of choices and different blooms to choose from. Find out what the blossoms symbolize and take a bouquet with you for the service. Offer this to the bereaved family as an offering of empathy.

A common type of blossom associated with interments is the Lily. White varieties mean that innocence has returned to the deceased person's soul after his death. The bloom is also symbolic of dignity, purity, and splendor. The white stargazer lilies denote sympathy that you feel towards the family left behind.

A Gladioli is an interesting bloom that is about long four feet tall. Each stem has multiple blossoms. This is a common flower used for fan arrangements in interments. The blossom looks elegant and classy. They are traditionally used for memorial services. They come in many shades and signify strength of character, sincerity and integrity.

The Chrysanthemum is often used in France, Spain, Poland, Italy, Hungary, and Croatia as offerings during memorial services. The blossoms specifically denote death. The white species, which signify grief, are used at interments in Japan or China. This blossom is not commonly used in the US except in New Orleans.

Carnations are great choices for long interments since they last long. They are fragrant and are common picks to show sympathy. The colors of the blossoms also have special meanings. Red carnations represent admiration; pink blooms symbolize remembrance, and the white ones stand for innocence and a wholesome kind of love.

Roses can also be given as flowers for funeral. Red ones represent respect, courage, and love. Pink roses symbolize love and grace, while yellow ones are given by friends of the deceased. Dark crimson signify sorrow and grief. A single rose denotes undying love to the departed which is usually given by someone who is special to the dead.
