Choosing the right funeral wreath flowers provide a thoughtful tribute to both say goodbye and offer love and comfort to loved ones.

A funeral wreath is a traditional and beautiful way to honour a loved one, and to send thoughts of comfort to family and friends. A touching tribute to the deceased, wreaths can help make the farewell service special. Funeral wreath flowers not only add beauty to a sombre occasion, they have played an important part in funeral customs throughout time.

Funeral Wreaths

Today flowers remain a touching way to express our feelings at a funeral, when the right words can be hard to find. The tradition of a floral wreath can be traced back to ancient times. Today, many different choices are available to reflect the style and personality of your loved one. While white is a traditional and common choice for wreath flowers, you may also like to include other favourite flowers or colours that mean something to you. Perhaps you might like to match the arrangement to the colours of a favourite sports team, or include the deceased's favourite blooms. Some religions and funeral homes may have guidelines on the type or arrangement of flowers used in a wreath. The church or funeral home may be able to advise you on any applicable guidelines. You may also wish to consider the different meanings behind particular styles or colours of flowers. For example, the lily symbolises restored innocence, and is a popular choice for funeral wreath flowers. Other popular choices are roses, daisies and orchids. Wreaths also commonly contain beautiful accents of greens such as ivy. Flowers shaped into a wreath are usually displayed at the funeral service, the shape symbolising eternal life.

Do I send flowers to the funeral home, graveside ceremony or to someone's home?

Sending flowers to the home of the bereaved, funeral home or graveside will depend on the nature of your relationship to the deceased and their family. If you wanted to provide a more heartfelt and intimate gesture, then sending a bouquet or arrangement to the family home is a beautiful way to express your condolences.

Or if you feel it is more appropriate to send flowers to the funeral home or graveside ceremony, then a smaller sympathy arrangement or posy is recommended. Flowers for the casket or standing sprays are usually selected by the immediate family of the deceased.

What flowers are traditionally used for funerals?

Knowing a flower’s unique meaning can help you express your exact sentiments through a beautiful floral arrangement. However, it’s important to be mindful that flower meanings and funeral flower etiquette can differ between certain cultures and religions.
